Figure 1
Respiratory symptom prevalence (unadjusted) within quartiles of post-Hurricane Katrina restoration work time. Quartiles are based on study subjects () reporting detailed time spent in demolition, trash/debris removal, landscape restoration, sewer repair, or mold remediation. Q0 represents those who reported no time spent in restoration work activities (). Actual proportions with new onset asthma and with pneumonia are multiplied by 10 for graphical scaling and enhanced visualization of the data.
