As far as I can tell by talking with contemporary thermo-dynamicists, especially those who grew up with the traditions of classical thermodynamics, these revolutionary ideas have had very little effect on them. But the impacts of the Shannon and Jaynes papers on others has been most dramatic. A few months ago I ordered a computer search of one particular data base. We looked for all papers published between 1970 and 1975 in which Shannon or Jaynes or both appeared as references. There were over 400 literature citations in such fields as systems theory, biology, neurology, meteorology, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, irreversible processes, reliability, geology, psychiatry, communications theory and even urban studies, transportation and architecture. 

Advances in personal monitoring for exposure assessment studies are currently dependent upon the development of reliable analytical techniques and instrumentation applicable to PEMs. Currently PEMs for carbon monoxide are the most highly developed and evaluated. Carbon monoxide is an emission product which can be directly related to lead emissions from automotive combustion. Personal exposure monitors for CO are being used in urban studies to obtain population exposure data on a real time basis. This information can be used in risk assessment.
