Exposure scenarios for workers

Incorporating Data on Particle Size and Chemical Composition of Aerosols into Site-specific Exposure Scenarios (workers)

Asbestos Exposure among Mitering Workers

The objectives are to compare the airborne asbestos concentrations resulted from mitering of abestos cement roof sheets by a high-speed motor and a hand saw, and to monitor whether other workers near the test sites are vulnerable to the fibers exceeding the occupational exposure limit. Four test cases were carried out and altogether 7 personal and 4 area air samples were collected. The NIOSH me...

Mobile Scenarios: Supporting Collaborative Learning Among Mobile Workers

Changing organizational demands have made work dependent on distribution and mobility, this has altered the possibilities for workers daily dialogue with colleagues. The context for this research is organizations of distr...

Healthcare workers' perceptions of occupational exposure.

Genotoxic exposure of workers creosoting wood.

In a small wood preserving industry spot samples were taken from contaminated surfaces at several places and tested for mutagenicity. The results suggest that the application of a wipe test can give a first indication of occupational exposure to mutagenic and carcinogenic substances, particularly when exposure occurs more from skin contact than from inhalation. One of the pesticide chemicals us...
