Estimation of the dietary exposure to chemical compounds in the French E3N prospective cohort: a study protocol

Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A, 2019
Diet is an important source of exposure to chemical compounds and estimating individual exposure is challenging and essential to study the association with long term health effects. This project aims to estimate the dietary exposure to more than 400 chemical compounds in the E3N cohort (Etude Epidémiologique après de femmes de la Mutuelle Générale de l'

Role of time as a factor in the toxicity of chemical compounds in intermittent and continuous exposures. part I. effects of continuous exposure

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1977
Because of fluctuations in levels of industrial air pollution linked to weather and other factors, a joint U.S.‐Soviet research team studied differences in the effect of time in exposures of air‐breathing animals to controlled varied concentrations of air pollutants.

[Diagnosis of multiple chemical sensitivity by chemical compounds exposure tests].

Arerugi = [Allergy], 2009
There are no specific signs or symptoms in Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), so diagnosis of MCS depends on a history, QEESI symptom scores and exclusion of other diseases. A gold standard of diagnosis of MCS is a chemical compound exposure test in which changes of symptoms are used to decide the results positive or negative.

Impact of polyfluoroalkyl chemicals and volatile organic compounds exposure on lung function of American adults

Environmental Pollution
Environmental chemicals, such as Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and the association between the combined exposure of these chemicals and human lung function remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects of mixed exposure to PFAS and VOCs on lung function in the general population ...

Self-reported multiple chemical sensitivity symptoms and personal volatile organic compounds exposure concentrations in construction workers

Building and Environment, 2010
The relationship between high chemical compound exposure and human health has been an important worldwide issue. High exposure to chemical compounds can make harmful health effect. One of the mostly risky groups to this high exposure to chemical compounds is the construction worker.

Human Exposure to Perfluorinated Chemicals through the Diet: Intake of Perfluorinated Compounds in Foods from the Catalan (Spain) Market

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
The aim of this study was to determine the dietary intake of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) by the population of Tarragona County (Catalonia, Spain). PFC levels were determined in 36 composite samples of foodstuffs randomly purchased in various locations. Exposure to PFCs through the diet was estimated for various age/gender groups.

[Disorders caused by the exposure to chemical compounds].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2014
The number of the chemical compounds handled in current Japan is approximately 60,000, and approximately 1,500 of new chemicals are registered every year. Approximately 200 chemicals are regulated. The prescribed industrial disease occurs 200-320 cases in a recent year, and the half are caused by unregulated chemicals.

Substantiation of methodical approaches to the evaluation of late consequences of exposure to chemical compounds.

Journal of hygiene, epidemiology, microbiology, and immunology, 1981
The basic principles of experimental evaluation of the gonadotropic, mutagenic, embryotropic and blastomogenic effects of chemical compounds and late consequences of their effects on the cardiovascular system are discussed. The mentioned aspects of late (delayed) effects of contact with industrial poisons are highly topical with respect to the ...

Exploration, Mining and Energy Generation in Nigeria: Exposure to Organo-Chlorinated Compound and Other Chemicals — Environmental and Public Health Implications

Modern Environmental Science and Engineering, 2016
As an oil producing Nation with large mineral deposits, coal is one source of energy generation in Nigeria. However, bye-products of these minerals as alternative energy sources include heavy soot, high emissions of greenhouse gases and resultant organo-contaminates, which are bye-products (i.e., wastes) of heavy machineries.

[Chemical risk of exposure to volatile organic compounds in the field of restoration of art objects].

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia, 2006
The use of chemicals during restoration practices involves emissions of toxics depending on both the amount of original products used and the specific techniques applied. Restorers perform a great variety of techniques by using not standardized operative procedures: moreover, they are exposed to mixtures and very rarely to single chemicals.
