What Are the Challenges in Studying Airborne Contaminants?
Studying airborne contaminants poses several challenges:
- Exposure Assessment: Accurately measuring individual exposure levels can be difficult due to variability in time and space. - Confounding Factors: Other variables, such as socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors, can influence health outcomes and need to be accounted for. - Latency Periods: The time between exposure and the onset of health effects can vary, complicating the identification of causal links.
