Exposure to asphalt or bitumen fume and renal disease.
Exposure to asphalt or bitumen fume and renal disease EDITOR,—The correspondence from Dittmer and Armitage 1 provides further support for a causal association between exposure to various hydrocarbons and the development of renal disease. Since 1912, some case reports, 2–4 case-control studies, 5 and cross sectional 6 studies together with animal experiments 7 8 have provided compelling evidence...
متن کاملAssessment of asphalt workers' dermal exposure.
We agree with McClean and his co-workers (McClean et al., 2004) that urinary 1-hydroxypyrene concentration is a useful measure of total absorbed dose of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many occupational health studies have reported low correlations between inhalation exposures and urinary 1-hydroxypyrene levels, suggesting that other exposure routes (in particular dermal, but also inge...
متن کاملInfluence of Waxes on Bitumen and Asphalt Concrete Mixture Performance
This doctoral thesis consists of a literature review, presented in two papers, and another six papers describing experimental studies of the influence of different kinds of wax and polyphosporic acid on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture properties. The literature review should give an extensive description of the field of knowledge concerning wax in bitumen. Effects of wax in crude oil, bitu...
متن کاملMortality from obstructive lung diseases and exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons among asphalt workers.
Work in the asphalt industry has been associated with nonmalignant respiratory morbidity and mortality, but the evidence is not consistent. A historical cohort of asphalt workers included 58,862 men (911,209 person-years) first employed between 1913 and 1999 in companies applying and mixing asphalt in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, and Norway. The relations between ...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effect of Lucobit on Moisture Susceptibility and Mechanical Performance of Bitumen and Asphalt Mixtures
The use of polymer in hot mix asphalt production has remarkably in recent decades. Destruction due to moisture in hot mix asphalt is of basic matters about flexible pavement durability. In recent decades different ways have been used to evaluate moisture Sensitivity of HMA which some of them are simple with low cost and some are complicated with more reliable results. In this research the effec...
