Description
This project reanalyzed personal breathing zone (PBZ) data from 10 NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) reports using Bayesian Decision Analysis (BDA) with the Structured Deterministic Model 2.0 as an informed prior. Posterior results were compared with original HHE conclusions to evaluate whether statistical analysis would have altered exposure interpretations or control recommendations.
