An investigation on major physical hazard exposures and health effects of forestry vehicle operators performing wood logging processesForest vehicle operators are occupationally exposed to combined hazards such as noise, whole-body vibration(WBV), adverse microclimate, and carbon monoxide. Such combined ...
aTemperature has long been recognized as a physical hazard, and is associated with a wide range of effects on health (Haines and Patz 2004). Global warming and other climate phenomena, such as El Niño, have sparked renewed interest in the weather–health relationship (Haines et al. 2009)...
Also we ran additional analyses excluding the participants with the lowest levels of physical activity who also represented the highest risk of reverse causation and found no substantial changes in our hazard ratios (data not shown). Another limitation of our study is the way exposure was assessed...

Landslides are a common geological hazard in mountainous areas. Due to the uncertainty and complexity of landslides, they are characterized by their wide distribution, high frequency, and rapid onset hazards1,2. Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is the first step in preventing and mitigating lan...
As a leading behavioral risk factor for numerous health outcomes, smoking is a major ongoing public health challenge. Although evidence on the health effects of smoking has been widely reported, few attempts have evaluated the dose–response relationship
