{Love Canal : Exposure Distribution Comparison for Survivors to 1978

Description of Hypothetical Simulation of Exposure:

If there is a large risk of mortality due to exposure to Love Canal Chemicals, then some people will not have survived to 1978 to enter the Love Canal Cohort. These Figures describe results from a hypothetical simulation of the distribution of Exposure (person years in 1942-1954) for Persons in the Love Canal Follow-up Cohort. This distribution is compared with the exposure distribution for those who died prior to 1978. Different Risk rates will lead to different comparisons.

Examples

Risk=1

Risk=2

Risk=5

Risk=10
