Occupational Health and Air Pollution Research in Canada's Changing Economy
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1963Abstract In terms of numbers of people employed and volume of production, industry in Canada has increased greatly in recent years. Occupational health programs have kept abreast of new hazards in the industrial environment so the health status of workers has improved.

AN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH APPROACH TO ANAESTHETIC AIR POLLUTION
Medical Journal of Australia, 1962The principles of occupational health practice as applicable to operating theatre staff are stated. Operating theatre air was samples for halothane at three Sydney hospitals--one in which a scavenging system was in operation and two without such a system.

An overview of health hazards of volatile organic compounds regulated as indoor air pollutants
Reviews on Environmental Health, 2018Indoor air quality (IAQ) standards and guidelines for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been stipulated by various national and international agencies. The main purpose of this paper is to establish an overview of indoor VOCs regarding their impacts

Exposure to occupational air pollution and cardiac function in workers of the Esfahan Steel Industry, Iran [PDF]
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016 Air pollution is recognized as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We investigated association of exposure to occupational air pollution and cardiac function in the workers of the steel industry. Fifty male workers of the agglomeration and coke-making parts of the Esfahan Steel Company were randomly selected (n = 50).

Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Airborne Pollutants: Effects of Air Mixing and Source Location
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2010The presence of airborne pollutants in indoor environments has been associated with occupants' discomfort and/or adverse health effects. This study investigates occupational exposure in relation to indoor air mixing and source location relative to a human body.

Airway Wall Remodeling Induced by Occupational Mineral Dusts and Air Pollutant Particles*
Chest, 2002COPD has been reported in workers exposed to particulates, and there is increasing evidence that high levels of ambient particulate pollutants may also be associated with COPD. The studies here investigate the hypothesis that particulates, including air pollution particles, can induce airway wall fibrosis, a process that can lead to COPD.Rat tracheal ...

Science of The Total Environment, 2013
Exposure to environmental pollutants has been recognised as a risk factor for cardiovascular events. 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) is a biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from traffic-related air pollution. Experimental studies indicate that PAH exposure could be associated with inflammation and atherogenesis.
