Occupational Exposure to Biological Agents [PDF]
Advances in Safety Management and Human Performance, 2020 Biological risks were mentioned by the “European Agency for Safety and Health, at Work’s Expert Forecast on Emerging Biological Risks related to Occupational Safety and Health”, the second most important emerging risk. In an era when the “one health approach” is considered the right way to address public health issues occupational safety continues to ...

Exposure Assessment of Biological Agents in Indoor Environments [PDF]
Korean Journal of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009 The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science in the United States concluded in its 2004 report that excessive indoor dampness is a public health hazard and that its prevention should be a public health goal. Water damage in buildings, such as leaks from roofs, walls, or windows, may increase indoor moisture levels.

Exposure to biological and chemical agents at biomass power plants
Biomass and Bioenergy, 2016 The increasing use and production of bioenergy means that the number of employees working in this area will inevitably grow, making it ever more important to know the health and safety issues involved in the biomass supply chain. Our aim was to determine the exposure of employees to biological and chemical agents during various work tasks at different ...

Combined Effects Modeling of Ionizing Radiation and Biological Agent Exposures [PDF]
Military Medicine, 2002 A simple two-species population model is used to simulate the interactions of a replicating pathogen and the immune system response. This deterministic model is flexible enough to reproduce the salient population-dynamic features, chiefly the tendency toward an equilibrium state in which the pathogen population is reduced to zero or a negligible level ...

Biological monitoring of exposure to nerve agents. [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1992 Changes in acetylcholinesterase activity in blood and some organs of rats after intoxication with sarin, soman, VX, and 2-dimethylaminoethyl-(dimethylamido)-phosphonofluoridate (GV), in doses of roughly 2 x LD50 given intramuscularly, were obtained from published data and by experiment.

An Overview of Biological Markers of Exposure to Chemical Warfare Agents [PDF]
Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2008 An overview is given of biological markers of exposure to chemical warfare agents. Metabolites, protein, and/or DNA adducts have been identified for most nerve agents and vesicants and validated in experimental animals or in a small number of human exposures.

Biological and environmental hazards associated with exposure to chemical warfare agents: arsenicals [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2016 Arsenicals are highly reactive inorganic and organic derivatives of arsenic. These chemicals are very toxic and produce both acute and chronic tissue damage. On the basis of these observations, and considering the low cost and simple methods of their bulk syntheses, these agents were thought to be appropriate for chemical warfare. Among these, the best‐

Use of portable microbial samplers for estimating inhalation exposure to viable biological agents [PDF]
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2006 Portable microbial samplers are being increasingly used to determine the presence of microbial agents in the air; however, their performance characteristics when sampling airborne biological agents are largely unknown. In addition, it is unknown whether these samplers could be used to assess microbial inhalation exposure according to the particle ...
