study of rural adults in the southernmost county of Iowa
1994–2011 showed rural residents were more likely to have medium or high occupational
vapor-gas, dust, and fumes VGDF exposure at their last job (43% on average) than
urban workers (15%) from another study. VGDF exposure varied by farming status,
but interestingly, even among rural participants who had never farmed 27% had medium
or high VGDF exposure , i.e. twice as many as urban workers. </span></div>
