Respirable crystalline silica and lung cancer in community-based studies: impact of jobexposure matrix specifications on exposure-response relationships.

The article informs about the impact of job exposure matrix (JEM) specifications on the relationship between occupational silica exposure and lung cancer risk in community-based studies. Topics include the analysis of exposure-response relationships using different dimensions of SYN-JEM, with results indicating that including all dimensions yields the best model fit, particularly emphasizing the importance of quantitative job-specific estimates in the JEM.
