The respiratory system is one of the portals of entry into the body, and hence inhalation of engineered nanomaterials is an important route of exposure. The broad range of physicochemical properties that influence biological responses necessitate the systematic study to contribute to understanding occupational exposure. Here, we report on the influence of nanoparticle charge and dose on human a...

The structure of the title compound, [(NH4)0.8K0.2][Cr(C5H7NO4)2] (C5H7NO4 is methyl-iminodi-acetate; mida), has been determined from synchrotron data. The Cr(III) atom is located on a centre of symmetry and is coordinated by two N atoms and four O atoms of two facially arranged tridentate mida ligands, displaying a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. The Cr-N and mean Cr-O...

The audit of the health and safety management system is understood as a form and tool of controlling. The objective of the audit is to define whether the undertaken measures and the obtained results are in conformity with the predicted assumptions or plans, whether the agreed decisions have been implemented and whether they are suitable in view of the accepted health and safety policy. This pap...

musculoskeletal disorders have devoted a high percentage of occupational injuries and is one of the leading causes of occupational injuries and disabilities in industrialized and developing countries. the aims of this study were to evaluate exposure of musculoskeletal disorders risk factors by quick exposure check (qec) technique and to determine prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and thei...

This paper describes the current status of occupational health and safety countermeasures in Beijing, China. It includes the network and organization of occupational health, occupational health personnel, the refitting of industrial structures, hazardous agents at workplaces, the classification and incident rates of occupational diseases. The management of occupational health and safety, new ch...
