Dose-response patterns for vibration-induced white finger.
AIMS To investigate alternative relations between cumulative exposures to hand-transmitted vibration (taking account of vibration magnitude, lifetime exposure duration, and frequency of vibration) and the development of white finger (Raynaud's phenomenon). METHODS Three previous studies have been combined to provide a group of 1557 users of powered vibratory tools in seven occupational subgro...
متن کاملHand-arm vibration syndrome and dose-response relation for vibration induced white finger among quarry drillers and stonecarvers
Objectives-To investigate the occurrence of disorders associated with the hand arm vibration syndrome in a large population of stone workers in Italy. The dose-response relation for vibration induced white finger (VWF) was also studied. Methods-The study population consisted of 570 quarry drillers and stonecarvers exposed to vibration and 258 control stone workers who performed only manual acti...
متن کاملFrequency weighting for vibration-induced white finger compatible with exposure-response models.
An analysis has been performed to derive a frequency weighting for the development of vibration-induced white finger (VWF). It employs a model to compare health risks for pairs of population groups that are selected to have similar health outcomes from operating power tools or machines with markedly different acceleration spectra (rock drills, chain saws, pavement breakers and motorcycles). The...
متن کاملRaynaud's phenomenon, vibration induced white finger, and difficulties in hearing.
BACKGROUND An association has previously been reported between finger blanching and hearing difficulties, but only in workers with exposure to noise and hand transmitted vibration (HTV). AIMS To explore the association in a community sample, including cases who lacked occupational exposure to noise or HTV. METHOD A questionnaire was mailed to 12 606 subjects aged 35-64 years, chosen at rand...
متن کاملVibration-induced white finger and auditory susceptibility to noise exposure.
It is well known that there are wide individual variations in the susceptibility of human hearing to noise exposure. The hearing of male forest workers were examined with vibration-induced white finger (VWF) as an indicator of noise susceptibility of hearing. The results were as follows: 1. Hearing losses at 4 and 8 kHz in subjects with VWF were greater than those of unaffected men in a matched...
