As a result of the epidemiological data, researchers from EPHB developed a project to evaluate engineering controls in the asphalt roofing industry. Due to the high asphalt temperatures used in the roofing process, roofing kettle operators may be at a higher risk of asphalt fume exposure than ...
This study was conducted to investigate whether bitumen fumes should be considered carcinogenic to human beings. A historical cohort of heavily exposed mastic asphalt workers was followed from 1959 through 1984 (inclusive) with regard to... ES Hansen - 《Scandinavian Journal of Work Environment & He...
DNA strand breaks, oxidative damage, and 1-OH pyrene in roofers with coal-tar pitch dust and/or asphalt fume exposure Objective: To determine the potential for asphalt fume exposure to increase DNA damage, we conducted a cross-sectional study of roofers involved in the app... Mark,Toraason,...

Copper exposure is common in occupations, including asphalt makers, electroplaters, wallpaper makers and embossers, solderers, especially miners and smelters of copper ore (ATSDR, 2004). The major industrial route of exposure to copper is inhalation of dust and fumes. Dermal contact and ingesti...
resulting from incomplete combustion of organic materials. The occurrence is largely a result of anthropogenic emissions such as fossil fuel-burning, motor vehicle, waste incinerator, oil refining, coke and asphalt production, and aluminum production, etc. PAHs have received increased attention in ...

Exposure to asphalt fumes is a health concern due to the presence of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in asphalt. Bioactivation of many PACs requires metabolism by the cytochrome P-450 (P-450) system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of exposure of rats to asphalt...

This article presents the results from a worker exposure study, conducted in five different industries, that examined airborne and dermal exposure to asphalt fumes. The industries included road paving, hot mix plants, refineries/terminals, roofing manufacturing, and roofing application. Thirty-one sites...
