Occupational exposure to various chemicals, minerals, and toxins may increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Relationships between silica exposure and lung, renal, and autoimmune disease have been observed. Although a relationship between silica exposure and RA has been identified, it is not...

substances that are present in the air. To protect workers’ health, organisations must ensure that hazardous substances fall below these limits. In the UK, these regulations are known as ‘Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs),’ with the EU equivalent being ‘Occupational Exposure Limits’ (OELs)....
Occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs (ANPs) occurs mainly through dermal contact. Our study was set up to assess the potential exposure of hospital sanitation (HS) personnel, for whom almost no data are available, through contamination of surfaces they regularly touch. Methods In the oncolog...

Yet when a huge number of cases turned up among World War II shipbuilders who had all worked with asbestos, the size of the cluster and the fact that the men had had similar occupational asbestos exposures enabled epidemiologists to assign blame to the fibrous mineral. Although several known ...
Occupational exposures to isopropyl alcohol vapors have been reported to cause eye irritation but no significant injury. Its vapor can cause slight irritation on the eyes, nose and throat; it can be absorbed through the skin. Its vapor can form explosive mixture with air. Its explosion limit is...
insulators had the highest levels of asbestos exposure. higher levels of exposure were observed from the 1940s through the 1950s. by the 1970s, exposure began to decline with the rise of industrial hygiene practices. around this time, agencies such as the occupational safety and health ...
Occupational exposures (for example, coal workers, welders, sensitized cotton and flour workers) Untreated diseases that cause inflammation of the airways, for example, asthma Environmental exposures, especially in the non-industrialized parts of the world where people cook over wood or coal-burning st...
The blood Mn concentrations that are typical in children and pregnant women (from oral or non-occupational exposures) are similar to the critical concentrations reported for welders exposed to Mn, who have at most 1.5-fold higher blood Mn levels than controls, and also have poor neurobehavioral ...
