Measurement error in explanatory variables and unmeasured confounders cause considerable problems in epidemiologic studies. Any assumptions made in epidemiologic studies must be plausible. An example of an implausible study gives the assumption that a one time exposure of rats to spores can be extrapolated to human health effects with chronic low dose exposure to a multi factorial environment found in water-damaged buildings
