“…The following exposure categories for BSM were used in the analyses: Dose-responses analyses were performed using Poisson regression with relevant parameters estimated using maximum likelihood methods [15,16]. The internal analyses directly compared the exposed groups to an unexposed group within the cohort, adjusting for calendar period and age as potential confounding factors.…”

“…In this current study, a new BSM JEM was developed by enhancing the original JEM using existing exposure personal measurements through a sophisticated statistical modeling approach [13]. In addition, a BaP JEM was also developed since it has been suggested that BaP is a more specific marker of the carcinogenic potential of the potroom fumes [14][15][16].…”

“…It was noted that evidence from another Canadian study of aluminium smelters suggested that the air concentrations of 18 PAHs compared to B[a]P were relatively stable (Farant and Gari epy, 1998). There were subtle differences between the PAH composition of mixtures between smelters and it is important to consider whether these variations were likely to be reflected in differences in total carcinogenic activity.…”

“…Knowing the components of the PAH mixture in this smelter and in other smelters and industries may also facilitate comparisons of exposure-response relationships across studies and industries. (4,6) It may also allow for retroactively assessing exposure to these other components in future studies.…”

“…To evaluate differences in the relative contribution of components, BaP relative abundance ratios (BaP RARs), defined as the concentration of a specific PAH divided by the concentration of BaP, were used to facilitate comparisons between locations and time periods that may differ greatly in concentration. (6,7,10) The authors also calculated a measure of the carcinogenicity of the mixture by multiplying each PAH's BaP RAR by their relative toxicity compared with benzo(a)pyrene; the relative contributions of each PAH were then summed to obtain a BaP equivalency factor for the mixture.…”
