Symptoms, ventilatory function, and environmental exposures in Portland cement workers.
Data on respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function were obtained for 2736 Portland cement plant workers and 755 controls. Personal dust samples contained a geometric mean concentration of 0.57 mg/m3 for respirable dust and 2.90 mg/m3 for total dust. Cement workers and controls had similar prevalences of symptoms, except that 5.4% of the cement workers had dyspnoea compared with 2.7% of the con...
متن کاملChanges in kidney function among Nicaraguan sugarcane workers.
BACKGROUND There is an epidemic of chronic kidney disease (CKD) of unknown etiology in Central American workers. OBJECTIVES To investigate changes and job-specific differences in kidney function over a 6-month sugarcane harvest season, explore the potential role of hydration, and measure proteinuria. METHODS We recruited 284 Nicaraguan sugarcane workers performing seven distinct tasks. We m...
متن کاملKidney cancer and hydrocarbon exposures among petroleum refinery workers.
To evaluate the hypothesis of increased kidney cancer risk after exposure to hydrocarbons, especially those present in gasoline, we conducted a case-control study in a cohort of approximately 100,000 male refinery workers from five petroleum companies. A review of 18,323 death certificates identified 102 kidney cancer cases, to each of whom four controls were matched by refinery location and de...
متن کاملChronic kidney disease associated with environmental toxins and exposures.
People are exposed to various potentially toxic agents and conditions in their natural and occupational environments. These agents may be physical or chemical, may enter the human body through oral, inhalational, or transdermal routes, and may exert effects on all organ systems. Several well-known as well as lesser known associations exist between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and both environme...
متن کاملDecreased ventilatory function in hard metal workers.
OBJECTIVES To study individual effects on pulmonary function of exposure to hard metal including cobalt. METHODS All of the workers in a hard metal company (583 men and 120 women) were examined for smoking, respiratory symptoms, ventilatory function, occupational history of exposure to hard metal, and present exposure to airborne cobalt. The ventilatory function indices (forced vital capacity...
