Text

All point estimates are reported with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). UIs include uncertainty from each relevant component, consisting of exposure, relative risks, TMREL, and burden rates. Where percentage change is reported (with 95% UIs), we computed it on the basis of the point estimates being compared.
