A non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values
BACKGROUND To estimate a threshold limit value for a compound known to have harmful health effects, an 'elbow' threshold model is usually applied. We are interested on non-parametric flexible alternatives. METHODS We describe how a step function model fitted by isotonic regression can be used to estimate threshold limit values. This method returns a set of candidate locations, and we discuss ...
متن کاملAre we closer to developing threshold limit values for allergens in the workplace?
Objective: To define threshold limit values and legally binding occupational exposure limits. Data Sources: Review of suitable literature. Study Selection: Studies based on detailed descriptions and/or measurements of airborne allergenic dust, total allergens, or even key allergens were selected. Results: Prevalences of IgE-mediated sensitization and occupational asthma are related to the aeroa...
متن کاملAre we closer to developing threshold limit values for allergens in the workplace?
The use of immunoassays has facilitated the measurement of high molecular weight sensitizers, usually protein molecules, in the picogram and nanogram per cubic meter range. This facilitated the evaluation of exposure response relationships for bakery workers, exposed to wheat allergens and fungal alpha-amylase and other groups exposed to other allergens such as laboratory animal workers. The ap...
متن کاملoptimizing workstation design for standing work system in an electronics assembly work
background: standing workstation can be a strategic approach for many electronics manufacturers to achieve work optimization. however, the well-being of the workers has become a great issue for both workers and employers. the main objective of this research was to study the effects of standing working posture on the workers and their impact to workers’ health and productivity and then to re-des...
متن کاملWork Content and Eye Discomfort in VDT Work.
A questionnaire study of Swedish public employees with frequent and different types of VDT work (n = 2,025) was conducted. Eight different kinds of eye discomfort were examined, and an additive index was constructed. Eye discomfort was statistically related to aspects of work organization. The highest levels of discomfort were reported by computer-aided design (CAD), data entry, and word proces...
