Frontiers and Challenges in Occupational Safety and Health [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2014
Most people work to make a living, but unfortunately many at the cost of their safety, health, and even lives. The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimated that each year poor occupational health and safety led to 271 million injuries, 160 million occupational diseases, and 2 million work-related deaths (1).

An Optoelectrically Switched, Dual‐Mode Neuromorphic Sensor for Transient and Accumulative Gas Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A transistor‐type carbon nanotube gas sensor with dual‐mode detection capability has been proposed. By simply adjusting the gate voltage and UV illumination, this sensor enables both real‐time detection and accumulation‐based sensing of toxic gases within a single device, providing a compact and adaptable platform for environmental monitoring ...

HARMLESS Early Warning System for Advanced Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The HARMLESS Early Warning System tackles Advanced Materials (AdMa) risk governance by providing a framework, organised in two tiers, underpinned with methods/tools to support risk assessors in the pre‐assessment preceding risk assessment. It allows for initial screening to identify AdMa with concerns considering exposure, hazards, sustainability and ...

A bookshelf on occupational health and safety. [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Public Health, 1975
The effects of exposure to toxic substances and poor conditions of work on human health have long been known. Hippocrates' description of lead poisoning, Pliny's use of sheep bladders as respiratory masks in the year 1 A.D., and the descriptions of the health hazards of mining by Paracelsus, Agricola, and Ramazzini are evidence of this.

Consequences and Mechanisms of Noise‐Induced Cochlear Synaptopathy and Hidden Hearing Loss, With Focuses on Signal Perception in Noise and Temporal Processing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Noise‐induced synaptopathy (NIS) is largely reversible due to self‐repair. NIS and noise‐induced hidden hearing loss are two concepts with similarities and differences. The major hearing deficits in NIHHL are temporal processing disorders. The translation of animal data in NIS studies to humans is hindered by many factors.
