5). Spores of some phylogenetic groups would be killed by cooking of vegetables whereas others may not be able to grow during refrigerated storage of the processed vegetables. In addition, all the groups do not have the same association with foodborne disease or the same ability to produce ...
1. Introduction Biological agents are organisms or toxins that have illness-producing effects on people, livestock, and crops. They are found in many sectors of employment. They are rarely visible and so workers are not always able to appreciate the risk they pose. Biological agents include ...
Risk, broadly defined as the probability that exposure to a hazard will lead to a negative consequence, can be accurately calculated for a variety of conditions of public health importance (Table 79-1). However, the quantification of risk as it pertains to bioterrorism is imprecise because ...
The Directive categorizes biological agents in four risks groups, where group 1 is the least likely to cause human disease and group 4 is a serious hazard and will cause serious human disease. Biological agents categorized as group 4 usually has no effective prophylaxis or treatment available. ...

Individuals situated close to the chief manganese source (within 15 kilometers) displayed a hazard index (HI) exceeding 1, suggesting a potential for health impairments. Under certain southwest wind conditions, those residing in Santander, the capital of the region, 7 to 10 kilometers from the ...
6). The age-stratified analyses revealed that across the three groups (40–50, 51–60, and 61–70 years), those with a top 25% rate had approximately twice the mortality hazard compared to those with a middle 50% rate. There was no significant difference between the bottom 25% rate ...
