Relation with other JEMs
|
| |
Expert assessment was from a semi quantive JEM developed for agents suspected to cause asthma: Le Moual N, Zock JP, Dumas O, Lytras T, Andersson E, Lillienberg L, Schlünssen V, Benke G, Kromhout H. Update of an occupational asthma-specific job exposure matrix to assess exposure to 30 specific agents. Occup Environ Med. 2018 Jul;75(7):507-514.
