Assessment of Diesel Engine Exhaust Levels in an Underground Mine Before and After Implementing Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems

Clean Technologies
Diesel-powered machinery is the primary energy source in underground mining, exposing workers to hazardous diesel exhaust emissions. This study evaluates occupational exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) and gaseous pollutants (NO, NO2) at an ...

Relationship between cumulative silica exposure and silicosis: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

Thorax
Background Silicosis, a chronic respiratory disease caused by crystalline silica exposure, is a persistent global lung health issue. No systematic review of the relationship between cumulative respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure and silicosis ...

Piperazine‐Functionalized Nanoparticles Enable Oral Insulin Delivery in Obese Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biologics have gained prominence as a rapidly advancing therapeutic modality for a diverse spectrum of medical conditions. Nonetheless, they are predominantly administered parenterally due to poor absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, repeated injections of biologics such as insulin cause injection pain, leading to dose ...

Identification of inclusions in lung tissue with a Raman microprobe [PDF]

, 1984
Inhaled particles smaller than 4 μm can cause damage to lung tissue, a disease called silicosis. We present an investigation on the use of a Raman microspectrometer for the identification of inclusions in lung tissue.

Bicyclol attenuates pulmonary fibrosis with silicosis via both canonical and non-canonical TGF-β1 signaling pathways

Journal of Translational Medicine
Silicosis is an irreversible fibrotic disease of the lung caused by chronic exposure to silica dust, which manifests as infiltration of inflammatory cells, excessive secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and pulmonary diffuse fibrosis.

Work‐Related Asthma From Exposure to Cardboard and Paper Products

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We assess the contribution of cardboard dust exposure to the development of work‐related asthma (WRA). Prior studies on paper‐dust‐related breathing problems have focused on exposures in the paper milling and pulp industries. There have been no reports of asthma linked to workplace exposure to cardboard dust.

Functional variant of the carboxypeptidase M (CPM) gene may affect silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility by its expression: a multistage case-control study. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectivesIn a genome-wide association study, we discovered chromosome 12q15 (defined as rs73329476) as a silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility region. However, the causal variants in this region have not yet been reported.MethodsWe systematically
