Cancer associations with industrial sites (Y) and emission hotspots (X). Odds ratios* inside/outside 0.5 km† of both hazards

| *These ratios serve as estimates of relative risk (RR) within combined proximity classes. The proportion of exposure attributable cases within each class is (RR−1)/RR. Thus, for cases born within 1.0 km of both a bus station and a BUT hotspot, 92.1% (11.58/12.58) can be attributed to the joint exposure. (Also see appendix). ORs>3.0 are shown in bold. Composite variables are shown separately at the foot of the primary lists. †Because of small numbers, incinerator and DXN ORs are based upon 1.0 km. Other ORs based on small numbers are omitted. | ||||||||||
