Occupational exposure and asthma control [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2017
In this issue of the European Respiratory Journal, Dumas et al. [1] describe associations between occupational disinfectant exposure and asthma control in US nurses. Asthma control was defined by using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) and based on responses to five questions on activity limitations, frequency of symptoms and frequency of use of quick ...

Occupational noise exposure: A review of its effects, epidemiology, and impact with recommendations for reducing its burden.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019
Exposure to hazardous noise is one of the most common occupational risks, both in the U.S. and worldwide. Repeated overexposure to noise at or above 85 dBA can cause permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and difficulty understanding speech in noise.

Competitive Bidirectional Response in Bi‐Polymeric Mechanochromic Cantilevers Toward Color Imaging‐Based VOC Discrimination

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In bi‐polymeric mechanochromic cantilevers composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and off‐stoichiometry thiol‐ene‐epoxy (OSTE+), differential swelling between the two polymers in response to VOC exposure induces a competitive bidirectional bending and corresponding color changes, with three characteristic response modes related to the Hansen ...
