How to assess long-term effects of occupational exposure.
In this issue of the Journal, HUMERFELT et al. [I] present the results of a community longit:OOinal survey of lWlg function in men, aged 22-54 years. Participants were followed for up to 25 yrs to evaluate the effects of smoking and occupational exposure on the decline of lWlg function and on the presence of airflow limitation. The authors report lhat the decline in fOICed expiratory volwne in ...
متن کاملSimulation tests to assess occupational exposure to airborne asbestos from artificially weathered asphalt-based roofing products.
Historically, asbestos-containing roof cements and coatings were widely used for patching and repairing leaks. Although fiber releases from these materials when newly applied have been studied, there are virtually no useful data on airborne asbestos fiber concentrations associated with the repair or removal of weathered roof coatings and cements, as most studies involve complete tear-out of old...
متن کاملSimulation tests to assess occupational exposure to airborne asbestos from asphalt-based roofing products.
This study sought to evaluate exposure from specific products to evaluate potential risk from roof repair activities. Five asbestos-containing fibered roof coatings and plastic cements, representing a broad range of these types of products, were tested in exposure simulations. These products were applied to representative roof substrates. Release of asbestos fibers during application and sandin...
متن کاملSinonasal Cancer and Occupational Exposure in a Population-Based Registry
We examined occupational exposures among subjects with sinonasal cancer (SNC) recorded in a population-based registry in the Lombardy Region, the most populated and industrialized Italian region. The registry collects complete clinical information and exposure to carcinogens regarding all SNC cases occurring in the population of the region. In the period 2008-2011, we recorded 210 SNC cases (13...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to wood dust and risk of lung cancer in two population-based case–control studies in Montreal, Canada
BACKGROUND Wood dust is one of the oldest and one of the most common occupational exposures in the world. The present analyses examine the effect of lifetime exposure to wood dust in diverse occupational settings on lung cancer risk. METHODS We conducted two population-based case-control studies in Montreal: Study I (1979-1986) included 857 cases and two sets of controls (533 population and 1...
