Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for the different measures of exposure5-150
| Type of exposure | Stone and quarry | Ceramics | Both industries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time weighted | 0.81 (0.37 to 1.77) | 1.03 (0.49 to 2.16) | 0.91 (0.57 to 1.46) |
| Cumulative | 0.86 (0.38 to 1.95) | 1.05 (0.59 to 1.86) | 1.02 (0.67 to 1.55) |
| Peak | 1.25 (0.58 to 2.69) | 0.75 (0.46 to 1.24) | 0.85 (0.58 to 1.25) |
↵5-150 Adjusted for age at onset of exposure, year of first exposure, duration of exposure, latency, and additional exposures in the work place.
Each index is divided into two levels (low and high): time weighted and peak exposure, low ⩽0.15 mg/m3; cumulative exposure, low ⩽2.88 mg/m3 • years.
