LOINC long common name : Deprecated PhenX measure - environmental exposures - residential history;
LOINC description : Questions about the respondent's current and previous residences. Each residence is
also geocoded. Many studies have linked the physical location of a person's residence
with environmental exposures such as air pollution or other environmental toxins in
soil or water which can cause adverse effects to the cardiac, pulmonary, or nervous
systems. Researchers can use the geographic coordinates (geocoordinates) of a person's
residence to determine the residence's location and determine proximity or exposure
to local and ambient pollutants. Information about not only the current residence
but also previous residences is more useful because relevant exposures may have occurred
in the past and many diseases have a long latency period (e.g., cancers or nervous
system diseases). Additional information such as water source and whether or not the
property was located on a farm serve as additional indicators for potential environmental
exposures.;
