        <![CDATA[Swiss bus drivers suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue, and stress, and have an excess of mortality from lung cancer and suicide. However, their occupational exposure is poorly documented. 
We created a bus-exposure matrix (BEM) to determine exposures (mean and standard deviation) to equivalent noise, peak noise, whole-body vibration (WBV), floor vibration, high-frequency and low-frequency electric fields, low-frequency magnetic fields, air exchange rate and the ratio between internal and external air particles in PM10 and ultrafine particles for 710 bus models used in Switzerland since 1980. For this, we made a bus inventory, identified ten bus-models representative of the Swiss fleet evolution, and conducted static and dynamic exposure measurement campaigns between November 2021 and May 2023. The measured values were then extended to the entire fleet using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) models. The choice of predictors, technical bus characteristics from the bus inventory, included in the model was based on directed acyclic graphs.
The BEM is an original tool to assess retrospective exposure to physico-chemical hazards that will enable further research in occupational health of bus drivers.]]>

          <![CDATA[We collected the measured data and then calculated average exposure values for the various physico-chemical hazards for urban and regional roads where applicable.
Then, for each physicochemical exposure, we created mathematical models to extend these exposure values to the entire Swiss bus fleet. We used INLA to model the data. The modeled values were then checked to ensure that they were feasible (no negative concentrations) and consistent with existing literature.
