Thomas Legge achieved much in his professional lifetime. The purpose of this lecture is to highlight some of these achievements in the light of what we have achieved since then. In other words, if Legge was in the audience today, how would ...
Does risk perception affect behaviour and exposure? A pilot study amongst asbestos workers [0.03%]
石棉工人的风险意识会影响其行为和暴露情况吗？一项初步研究
