Structure

Factor
Aspergillus
Setting
car cabin
Study design
cross-sectional study of vehicle cabins: airborne fungal communities sampled inside vehicles and related to how the vehicle is used, where it is parked, how the cabin filter is maintained and whether the occupants perceive a musty odour (class 4)
Effect
ratio 2.5
Caveat
the odour is perceived by the occupants, so it is a reported and not a measured exposure

A Finding records what one published document states, verbatim and with its page. It is not a conclusion of Coridum; see the Claims that build on it.
