Bus-exposure matrix, a tool to assess bus drivers' exposure to physicochemical hazards

This paper describes the development of a Bus-Exposure Matrix (BEM) to retrospectively estimate Swiss bus drivers’ exposures to 10 physicochemical hazards, including electric and magnetic fields. Measurements in representative buses were combined with technical inventories and INLA modeling to estimate annual…

Modeled and perceived RF-EMF, noise and air pollution and symptoms in a population cohort. Is perception key in predicting symptoms?

This cohort study compared modeled residential RF-EMF, noise, and air pollution exposures with participants’ perceived exposure levels and self-reported symptoms. Correlations between modeled and perceived exposure were moderate for air pollution and noise but low for RF-EMF. Perceived exposure was consistently…
