Synthesis of publicly available exposure data sources

Publicly available measurements from published literature, regulatory inspections, and NIOSH consultations are extracted to inform exposure assessment efforts in population-based studies.  These data are useful to extract time period differences in the use of an agent and differences in exposure across time and between industries and occupations.  Selected publications include:
