After reading the series of articles on a new approach to controlling chemicals, an initiative targeted especially on small and medium-sized businesses, in the Annals of Occupational Hygiene (1998; 42: 355-411), German specialists for healt...
Effect of sampling time on the culturability of airborne fungi and bacteria sampled by filtration [0.03%]
采样时间对过滤式生物气溶胶采集中空气微生物培养特性的影响

Kate T H Durand et al.
Air sampling of bioaerosols by filtration may be preferable for many epidemiological studies because the methods can be used to collect personal samples for a full work-shift. There is some concern, however, that the viability of fungal spo...
A field evaluation of the impact of transfer efficiency on worker exposure during spray painting [0.03%]
喷漆作业中转移效率对工人暴露影响的现场评估研究

Yu-Mei Tan
This paper presents a mathematical model to predict breathing-zone overspray concentrations produced during spray painting as a function of the overspray generation rate, ventilation and work practices. The overspray generation rate require...
Heterogeneity in sources of exposure variability among groups of workers exposed to inorganic mercury [0.03%]
不同职业人群无机汞暴露来源的异质性分析
E Symanski,G Sällsten,W Chan et al.
E Symanski et al.
Many exposure assessment strategies rely on the occupational group as the unit of analysis in which workers are classified on the basis of job title, location, or on other characteristics related to the workplace or the job. Although statis...

S I Watson et al.
Hand soldering using rosin core solder wire is common in the electronics industry and several studies have implicated the aerosol produced when rosin flux is heated in causing respiratory sensitisation. Control of solder fume is generally a...

This paper presents the application of a Bayesian framework for retrospective exposure assessment of workers in a nickel smelter. Using only sparsely available historical measurements will result in exposure estimates with large uncertainti...
Exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields among working women and homemakers [0.03%]
职业妇女和家庭主妇接触极低频磁场的情况
A L McCurdy,L Wijnberg,D Loomis et al.
A L McCurdy et al.
Given concerns with potential health effects of exposure to magnetic fields, the goal of this study was to examine the magnitude and sources of occupational and residential exposure to extremely low frequency (primarily 60 Hz) magnetic fiel...
Estimating historical respirable crystalline silica exposures for Chinese pottery workers and iron/copper, tin, and tungsten miners [0.03%]
估计中国陶工和铁/铜、锡和钨矿工的历史可吸入结晶硅石接触量
Z Zhuang,F J Hearl,J Odencrantz et al.
Z Zhuang et al.
Collaborative studies of Chinese workers, using over four decades of dust monitoring data, are being conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Tongji Medical University in China. The goal of these pr...
Airborne polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose fibre levels in fibre-cement factories in seven European countries [0.03%]
七个国家水泥工厂空气中聚乙烯醇(PVA)和纤维素纤维含量水平检测
H De Raeve,J Van Cleemput,B Nemery
H De Raeve
Because of their relatively high diameter, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres, as used in fibre-cement, are not fibres as defined by WHO (or other) regulations. Nevertheless, as with all particulate raw materials, it can be questioned if and to...
Analysis of solvent vapors in breath and ambient air with a surface acoustic wave sensor array [0.03%]
基于溶剂蒸汽的呼吸和环境分析(surface acoustic wave传感器数组)
W A Groves,E T Zellers
W A Groves
This article describes the development and evaluation of a small prototype instrument employing an array of four polymer-coated surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors for rapid analysis of organic solvent vapors in exhaled breath and ambient a...
