  1. aTime spent in micro-environment per day multiplied by annual average PNC of micro-environment then divided by the sum annual average of all micro-environment exposures. Residential: all hours a participant indicated they were in the micro-environments inside or outside home on time-activity questionnaire. Work: All hours a person indicated they were in the work micro-environment. Other: all hours a participant indicated being in a “other” micro-environment. Highway: aggregate of 15 min intervals a person identified as traveling on the highway.
