SweJEM
The Institute for Environmental Medicine (IMM) has together with the Centre for Occupational and Environmental Medicine (CAMM) developed job-exposure matrices (JEM) for assessment of occupational exposure in large populations. SweJEM contains information on the most common exposures with a suspected association to ill health in the working population. SweJEM has detailed information about physical, chemical, and psychosocial exposure, as well as low employment quality in various occupations.
