Biomonitoring of occupational toluene exposure
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1982Toluene exposure was studied in 20 workers employed in painting and hand-finishing in an art furniture factory. Toluene was determined in the environmental air of places of work and in the alveolar air and blood of the workers. Hippuric acid and cresols were also tested in the workers' urine. Blood and urine tests were carried out before the work shift

Occupational Exposures to Asbestos in Brazil
International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1997European and Canadian asbestos companies have long taken advantage of the lack of regulation of the asbestos industry in developing countries. Their activities exploit vulnerable workers whose lack of medical care may result in a silent epidemic of asbestos-related diseases.

Occupational exposures and parkinsonism
2015In recent years, the contribution of exposure to environmental toxicants has been recognized as a significant contributor to the etiopathogenesis of parkinsonism. Of these toxicants, exposure to pesticides, metals, solvents used in manufacturing processes, as well as flame-retardant chemicals used in consumer and commercial products, has received the ...

Management of occupational exposure to HIV
Seminars in Dermatology, 1995Many health care workers (HCWs) are potentially at risk for occupationally acquired human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 1,z Although improved methods of exposure prevention remain the mainstay of further risk reduction efforts, the likelihood that exposures will nevertheless continue to occur has made it necessary for institutions to develop ...

Adjustment of occupational exposure limits for seasonal occupations
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1980A previously reported model for predicting adjustments to permissible exposure limits has been extended to include adjustments for seasonal occupations. On the basis of the model, no "credit" (i.e., increase in exposure limits) may be allowed for a short work season unless the biological half-life in hours of the agent of concern is greater than 38 W ...

Occupational exposure to nanomedical applications
WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, 2009AbstractApplications of nanotechnology in medicine such as cancer treatment drugs, imaging agents, and sensors promise to save people's lives and improve quality of life. Although only a limited number of nano‐enabled medical applications are commercially available at this time, many are in the final stages of approval by regulatory agencies overseeing
