Abstract |
The paper will briefly describe the study of population exposure to carbon monoxide for the residents of the Washington, D.C., area and the Denver, Colorado, area in the winter of 1982-83. The population exposure distributions were determined by direct measurement of CO with personal exposure monitors (PEM's) through the use of statistical inference from a statistically drawn sample. The population of inference for the study was non-smoking, non-institutionalized adults (age 18-70). Each sampled individual carried a PEM for a 24-hour period on one pre-scheduled day in Washington, D.C., and two consecutive days in Denver. The exposure distributions from each study area will be contrasted and factors pertaining to high exposure will be discussed. |
