Occupational Exposure Assessment Tools in Europe: A Comprehensive Inventory Overview.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The Network on the Coordination and Harmonisation of European Occupational Cohorts (OMEGA-NET) was set up to enable optimization of the use of industrial and general population cohorts across Europe to advance aetiological research. High-quality harmonized exposure assessment is crucial to derive comparable results and to enable pooled analyses. To facilitate a harmonized research strategy, a concerted effort is needed to catalogue available occupational exposure information. We here aim to provide a first comprehensive overview of exposure assessment tools that could be used for occupational epidemiological studies.

Methods

An online inventory was set up to collect meta-data on exposure assessment tools. Occupational health researchers were invited via newsletter
