工作暴露矩阵（JEM）是估计研究人群职业暴露的重要工具，只有行业和职业（I&O）的信息。JEM是使用美国标准化编码方案针对太阳和人工紫外线辐射（UVR）开发的。使用美国人口普查局的行业和职业代码，由一个认证的工业专家小组为太阳能和人工紫外线辐射开发了单独的I&O对列表，他们为具有潜在暴露的I&O对分配了暴露评级。暴露参数包括太阳紫外线辐射的患病率（P）和频率（F）以及人工紫外线辐射的P、F和强度（I）。患病率，或在I&O配对中雇用的所有暴露工人的百分比，被分类评级为：0-<1，1-<20; 20-<80和≥80。暴露频率（由工人每周暴露的小时数定义）被分类评级为：每周0-<5小时，5-<20小时，20-<35小时和≥35小时。仅对于人工UVR，暴露强度被指定为三个等级：低、低伴罕见偏移和正常条件下>低。不一致的评级通过协商一致解决。从JEM中排除P和F评级为0（太阳紫外线）和P，F和I评级为0（人工紫外线）的I&O对后，9，206个I&O对被评为太阳紫外线，2，010个I & O对被评为人工紫外线。对于太阳紫外线辐射，723（7.9%的所有评级对）的评级在最高类别的P和F;这组包括45个职业在不同的行业。建筑和采掘业占大多数职业（n=20; 44%），其次是农业，渔业和林业职业（n=6; 13%）。对于人工紫外线辐射，87个I&O对（占所有额定对的4.3%）的P，F和I的最大额定值;这些包括不同行业的单一职业（焊接，钎焊和钎焊工人）。太阳能和人造UVR的JEM是为美国人口中广泛的I&O对开发的，可供进行职业流行病学研究的研究人员使用。
Job exposure matrices (JEMs) are important tools for estimating occupational exposures in study populations where only information on industry and occupation (I&O) are available. JEMs were developed for solar and artificial ultraviolet radiation (UVR) using a U.S standardized coding scheme. Using U.S. Census Bureau industry and occupation codes, separate lists of I&O pairs were developed for solar and artificial UVR by a panel of Certified Industrial Hygienists who assigned exposure ratings to I&O pairs with potential exposure. Parameters for exposure included prevalence (P) and frequency (F) for solar UVR and P, F and intensity (I) for artificial UVR. Prevalence, or percent of all workers employed in an I&O pair who were exposed, was categorically rated: 0-<1, 1-<20; 20-<80 and ≥80. Frequency of exposure, defined by the number of hours per week workers were exposed, was categorically rated: 0-<5, 5-<20, 20-<35 and ≥35 hours per week. For artificial UVR only, intensity of exposure was assigned three ratings: low, low with rare excursions, and >low under normal conditions. Discrepant ratings were resolved via consensus. After excluding I&O pairs assigned P and F ratings of 0 (solar UVR) and P, F and I ratings of 0 (artificial UVR) from the JEM, 9,206 I&O pairs were rated for solar UVR and 2,010 I&O pairs for artificial UVR. For solar UVR, 723 (7.9% of all rated pairs) had ratings in the highest category for P and F; this group included 45 occupations in varied industries. Construction and extraction occupations represented most of the occupations (n=20; 44%), followed by farming, fishing and forestry occupations (n=6; 13%). For artificial UVR, 87 I&O pairs (4.3% of all rated pairs) had maximum ratings for P, F, and I; these comprised a single occupation (welding, soldering and brazing workers) in diverse industries. JEMs for solar and artificial UVR were developed for a broad range of I&O pairs in the U.S. population and are available for use by researchers conducting occupational epidemiological studies.
