Risk assessment using exposure intensity : an application to vermiculite mining / Pamela M. Vacek, J. Corbett Mcdonald

Sumario: The approach described here is applied to data from vermiculite miners to assess the exposure -response relation betwen amphibole fibres in the tremolite series and lung cancer. In this paper the estimation of relative risk for specific ranges of exposure intensity from such data is considered using statistical methods for fitting multivariete relative risk models
