• Description:
  With new technologies come new challenges and opportunities for advancing the science of exposure risk assessment and management. The rapid growth of technology has created new exposure management challenges, but has also created new valuable tools for industrial hygienists to better manage exposure risks. Many fields including biostatistics, military, econometrics, genetics, engineering, and medicine are now successfully applying Bayesian statistical techniques to solve many problems once thought impossible just a few years ago. Bayesian statistical techniques have recently been adapted for industrial hygiene professionals to determine the most likely task AIHA(R) exposure control category for a given SEG with sampling data. Traditional statistical approaches to selecting exposure control categories typically use point estimates and confidence intervals while Bayesian methods presents data analysis as probabilities for each exposure control category. This technique, called Bayesian Decision Analysis (BDA) and depicted in Figure 22.1, is a mathematical method to create probabilities of the most likely exposure control category using exposure monitoring data, and more formally test or integrate professional judgment into a single decision output.
