Air pollution and airport apron workers: A neglected occupational setting in epidemiological research

International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2021
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 ...

Evaluating the Use of Occupational Standards for Controlling Toxic Air Pollutants

Journal of Environmental Science and Health - Part B Pesticides, Food Contaminants, and Agricultural Wastes, 1984
Currently, 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.

Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Airborne Pollutants: Effects of Air Mixing and Source Location

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2010
The 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.

Air pollution and apron workers: a neglected occupational setting in epidemiological research

2021
Introduction: Apron workers belong to the airport ground personnel, which is in charge of tasks such as aircraft fuel tanking, aircraft parking or baggage handling. Due to their presence on the apron, these workers are exposed to a complex mixture of air pollutants, which is considered to be potentially[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

Dose to the Respiratory Tract from Personal, Occupational and Community Air Pollutants

Environmental Letters, 1971
Abstract 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.

Biomarkers of occupational exposure to air pollution, inflammation and oxidative damage in taxi drivers

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.

Association of air pollutants, airborne occupational exposures, and chronic rhinosinusitis disease severity

International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology, 2019
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

Airway Wall Remodeling Induced by Occupational Mineral Dusts and Air Pollutant Particles*

Chest, 2002
COPD 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 ...

[Air pollution in an industrial environment and occupational diseases].

Sozial- und Praventivmedizin, 1976
Most of the occupational diseases are related to air pollution at the work place. The distribution of gases and vapours and their human absorption are briefly described. The deposition of particles is a function of their physical properties, of the pattern of the respiratory airways and of pulmonary ventilation parameters.

Impact of indoor air pollution on health, comfort and productivity of the occupants

Aerobiologia, 1996
In this special report, the possible causes of indoor air pollution and its impact on the health, comfort and productivity of the building occupant are discussed. The causes and symptoms of sick building syndrome, allergy and environmental-illnesses and building related illnesses are discussed in the context of building environments.
