process that does not involve mercury. Lupus was present in 1% of the battery workers and

none of the workers in the wind generator factor.

Explanation:

The answers to questions 9 and 10 may sound obvious, but it is sometimes difficult in a medical journal article to identify the exposure and outcome of interest among all the variables examined. You should always start your analysis of a journal article by identifying the primary exposure(s) and outcome(s) of interest.
