Comparative analysis of exposure limit values of vibrating hand-held tools
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2013Abstract In the European Union, one of every four workers claims to be exposed to vibration for up to 2 h of his/her working day. The use of vibrating hand-held tools is the most common cause of vibration-related injury in workers. Of all sectors of professional activity, the construction industry has the highest number of workers affected by ...

Flour dust – aspiration fraction Documentation of proposed values of occupational exposure limits (OELs [PDF]
Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy, 2017 The term "flour dust" refers to particles derived from finely ground cereal grains and "non-cereal" grains. Flour flour usually also contains ingredients that play an important role in improving dough quality, such as enzymes, additives such as baker's yeast, flavors, spices and chemical ingredients such as preservatives.

To estimate the total dose of quartz during the life of a worker, the “lifetime dose,” it is necessary to consider the continuing effect of quartz particles once they are deposited in the alveoli, and the very slow elimination that causes accumulation in

o-Toluidine. Documentation of proposed values of occupational exposure limits (OELs)
Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy, 2018o-Toluidine is a substance produced in large amounts and used in rubber, dyeing and pharmaceutical industries and in the production of herbicide and other chemical compounds. The estimated number of people occupationally exposed to o-toluidine in EU is 5500, half of them is employed in chemical industry in the production of chemical fibers and rubber ...

[Occupational exposure to wood dust. Health effects and exposure limit values].
Revue d'epidemiologie et de sante publique, 2002This article presents a review of the health effects of occupational exposure to wood dusts and of the data that could be used for setting occupational exposure limits for this nuisance. The causal role of wood dust in the onset of sinonasal cancers is solidly established by numerous epidemiological studies, and the magnitude of the risk is ...

Buta-1,3-diene. Documentation of proposed values of occupational exposure limits (OELs)
Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy, 2018Buta-1,3-diene is a gas used in the production of thermoplastic resins, elastomers and synthetic rubber. Buta-1,3-diene is absorbed mainly in the respiratory tract and then metabolized to monoepoxide – 1,2-epoxybut-3-ene and diepoxide – 1.2:3,4 diepoxybutane, and after their conjugation with glutathione is excreted with urine.

Limit Value Assessment for Respirable Coal Mine Dust in Germany
, 1997Occupational limit values for airborne noncarcinogenic substances are defined as threshold limit values in Germany. This concept presumes a “hockey stick” relationship between mean shift concentrations and health effects.
