The airborne chemical exposures included are:

  • Vapours, gases, dusts, fumes fibres and mists (VGDFFiM)
  • Asthmagens
  • Mineral dusts
  • Biological dusts
  • Metals
  • Diesel

Two sub-JEMs are included based on a binary coding of the ACE-JEM exposed or non-exposed, respectively:

  • Average daily or weekly Level for exposed subjects (L-JEM) in three levels: low, medium or high
  • Proportion of subjects exposed within a given SOC code (P-JEM): 0-5%, 5-19%, 20-49%, >50%

Name: ACE JEM (L-JEM) (P-JEM)
