Occupational exposure to gases/fumes and mineral dust affect DNA methylation levels of genes regulating expression [PDF]
Many workers are daily exposed to occupational agents like gases/fumes, mineral dust or biological dust, which could induce adverse health effects. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, have been suggested to play a role.

881 Asbestos in the french navy: job-exposure matrix [PDF]
Introduction Asbestos exposure is a concern for the Navy. 94% of the compensated French soldiers belong to the Navy. While employment-exposure matrices exist for the civilian environment, none are available to the military. Our work aims at creating the first employment-exposure matrix in the French Navy, in order to optimise post-occupational medical
