Response to Buonocore et al. Comments on Wendt Hess et al. Assessing Agreement in Exposure Classification between Proximity-Based Metrics and Air Monitoring Data in Epidemiology Studies of Unconventional Resource Development. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2019 16 3055

摘要

We appreciate the comments by Buonocore et al., and the opportunity to respond. We acknowledged in our paper [ ] that distance proxies could potentially reflect a number of exposure pathways. However, this does not diminish the value of examining air, which is often the focus of policy formulation and regulation.
