Occupational and environmental impacts of indoor air pollutant for different occupancy: a review
Toxicology and Environmental Health Sciences, 2021Since an average human spends most of the time indoors (ranging from 85% to 90%), the understanding about ambient environment is very important. The indoor environment is majorly polluted from the indoor air pollutants like volatile organic carbon (VOC), semi-volatile organic carbon (SVOC), particulate matter, ozone, oxides of carbon and sulphur, heavy

Inflammatory markers and exposure to occupational air pollutants
Inhalation Toxicology, 2010To study the possible relationship between inhalation of airborne particles in the work environment and inflammatory markers in blood.Total dust was sampled in the breathing zone of 73 subjects working with welding, cutting, grinding and in foundries such as iron, aluminium, and concrete.

BackgroundPrevious work has shown that chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) severity may be associated with particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) and black carbon (BC) in CRS patients without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). Data regarding occupational exposures, however, are lacking. We assessed the impact of PM2.5, BC, as well as occupational airborne exposure on CRS disease

Asthma Related to Occupational and Ambient Air Pollutants in Nonsmokers
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1993We attempted to determine the association between occupational and air pollutant exposure with the development of adult asthma through the analysis of a standardized respiratory questionnaire administered to a cohort of 3914 nonsmoking adults in 1977 and again in 1987.

Dose to the Respiratory Tract from Personal, Occupational and Community Air Pollutants
Environmental Letters, 1971Abstract The doses (Concentration × Time) to the respiratory tract by urban, occupational and personal (smoking) pollutants were calculated by assuming pollutant concentration in air equivalent to air quality standards, threshold limit values and reported cigarette smoke concentrations, respectively.

Evaluating the use of occupational standards for controlling toxic air pollutants
Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B, 1984Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established air standards for relatively few chemicals. As a result, state agencies are faced with controlling air contaminants for a large number of chemicals posing potential public health threats.

AbstractThere is a well‐recognized association between environmental air pollution exposure and several human diseases. However, the relationship between diseases related to occupational air pollution exposure on roads and high levels of traffic‐related air pollutants (TRAPs) is less substantiated.

Air pollution and occupational accidents in the Community of Madrid, Spain
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2020Spain is the EU member country with the third highest total number of accidents in work and has the third highest incidence rate. We have performed a descriptive analysis of occupational accidents in the Community of Madrid (Spain) between 2005 and 2013 to study the impact of air quality on the prevalence of occupational accidents, clarifying how ...

Health and Air Pollution. The Effect of Occupation Mix
The Swedish Journal of Economics, 1971The 1960 mortality rates for 117 U.S. cities are analyzed to isolate the effect of air pollution. Socioeconomic factors such as race, income, population density, and age mix are accounted for. In previous studies we reported the effect of different functional forms and of adding additional explanatory variables for type of home heating equipment, home ...

Airport apron workers are occupationally exposed to jet exhaust and major concern is related to the exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) from aircrafts. To date, little attention has been given to occupational exposures to aircraft-related UFP, although aircraft engines have high emissions of ultrafine particles, which are orders of magnitude higher ...
