Inhalable dust as a marker of exposure to airborne biological agents in composting facilities

Waste Management, 2018
Industrial composting is associated with high levels of worker exposure to bioaerosols. Measurement of airborne microorganisms and endotoxin is complex and the related cost is high. The objective was therefore to examine whether dust measurement could be used as a marker of exposure to bioaerosols in composting facilities.A dataset of 110 measurements ...

[Biological markers of exposure to toxic agents].

Revue d'epidemiologie et de sante publique, 1986
Exposure to chemical agents may be assessed either qualitatively or semi-quantitatively with the help of a questionnaire (type of exposure and duration) or quantitatively either by the measurement of the concentration of the xenobiotics in the environment (ambient monitoring) or by the measurement of biological parameters related to the internal doses (

BioBadge: a personal dosimetry technology for assessment of exposures to biological agents

SPIE Proceedings, 2003
The BioBadge is a biological dosimeter product based on a personal collection device developed by MesoSystems Technology. Designed to be worn by individuals in potentially biologically hazardous environments, the BioBadge allows for real-time collection, concentration, and analysis of biological agents present in the air.

[Biosafety in laboratories concerning exposure to biological agents].

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia, 2007
Laboratory workers are exposed to a variety of potential occupational health hazards including those deriving from infectious materials and cultures, radiations, toxic and flammable chemicals, as well as mechanical and electrical hazard. Although all of them are significant, this paper will focus on biological hazards present in clinical and research ...

Handbook of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Agent Exposures

2007
Treating nuclear, biological, and chemical agent exposures presents a unique set of challenges. These scenarios usually involve multiple exposures, sometimes even mass exposures, from a single, often poorly-defined, event. Early symptoms are not distinct and can often be variable.

Adductomics: a promising tool for the verification of chemical warfare agents’ exposures in biological samples

Archives of Toxicology, 2019
Humans are constantly exposed to a wide range of reactive and toxic chemicals from the different sources in everyday life. Identification of the exposed chemical helps in the detection and understanding the exposure associated adverse health effects. Covalent adducts of proteins and DNA formed after xenobiotics exposure may serve as readily measurable ...

Exposure to chemicals, physical agents, and biologic agents in mycosis fungoides and the Sézary syndrome.

Cancer treatment reports, 1979
The history of occupational, environmental, and/or iatrogenic exposure to potential carcinogenic agents was obtained at the time of onset of skin disease in 43 of 44 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides and the Sézary syndrome) entering a National Cancer Institute therapeutic trial.

Urinary excretion of mercapturates as a biological indicator of exposure to electrophilic agents.

Journal of hygiene, epidemiology, microbiology, and immunology, 1984
The urinary excretion of mercapturates was followed photometrically in individuals exposed to styrene, a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons, butadiene, vinyl chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane (Halothane), ethylene oxide, epichlorhydrin, bis(chloromethyl)-ether, N ...

Risk Assessment of laboratory technicians' exposure to biological and chemical agents

2019
Risk prevention must be based on a correct and permanent risk assessment in the work as a core activity of health and safety services. In several activities workers are not aware of the risks they are exposed to, namely when it is not their common work.

Exposure to airborne biological agents in a conventional laboratory animal facility

2016
Working with laboratory animals (LA) may expose personnel to a complex mixtures containing, besides the well known allergens, microorganisms and their components that can lead to adverse health effects. This paper reports the results of a microbiological environmental monitoring carried out in a conventional laboratory facility housing about 7,000 ...
