EuroJEM chemicals and particles

EuroJEM

A generic quantitative job exposure matrix (JEM) for chemicals and particles, including information on the probability of being exposed and the level of exposure, for occupations on the European labour market from the 1970’s to today. Chemicals and particles include data from 1970 to 2020 with 10-year intervals and exposure prevalence in three categories for respirable crystalline silica, nickel, wood dust and diesel engine exhaust, as well as estimated average exposure level among the exposed for respirable crystalline silica, wood dust and diesel engine exhaust. For each substance, data is collected from multiple JEMs. This JEM is part of the EuroJEM framework.

After application for EuroJEM

1970-2020

2025

EuroJEM is funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program. Developed as part of the Exposome Project for Health and Occupational Research (EPHOR). Grant Agreement No. 874703.

Data on Respirable Crystalline Silica Dust is collected from five JEMS (FINJEM, SWEJEM, MatEmEsp, Matgéné and SYNJEM/DOMJEM). Data on Wood dust is collected from four JEMS (FINJEM, SWEJEM, MatEmEsp, WoodJEM). Data on Diesel Engine Exhaust is collected from three JEMS (FINJEM, Swedish Diesel-JEM, DEE-JEM) Data on Nickel is collected from four JEMS (SYNJEM/DOMJEM, FINJEM, SWEJEM, MatEmEsp)
