Review of economic evaluations of mask and respirator use for protection against respiratory infection transmission
BACKGROUND There has been increasing debate surrounding mask and respirator interventions to control respiratory infection transmission in both healthcare and community settings. As decision makers are considering the recommendations they should evaluate how to provide the most efficient protection strategies with minimum costs. The aim of this review is to identify and evaluate the existing ec...
متن کاملEffects of and Protection from Ubiquitous Airborne Solvent Exposure
Walter Crinnion, ND. Healing Naturally. 11811 NE 128th St, Suite 202. Kirkland, WA 98034 Abstract Chemicals known as solvents are part of a broad class of chemicals called volatile organic compounds. These compounds are used in a variety of settings, are ubiquitous, and off-gas readily into the atmosphere. As a result of their overuse, they can be found in detectable levels in virtually all sam...
متن کاملOccupational Radiation Protection: Protecting Workers against Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
The 1984 International Labour Conference Resolution concerning the improvement of the working conditions and the environment laid down the fundamental objectives and principles on which the Infocus Programme on Safety and Health and the Environment (SafeWork) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is based. The protection of the worker against ionizing radiations falls naturally within ...
متن کاملVitamin C as Protection Against Radiation Exposure
e nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, in March 2011 led to drastic mechanistic measures (e.g., evacuation, decontamination showers of clothing, and use of protective clothing by rescue workers) to protect the population against imminent and future radiation exposure. Besides mechanistic measures, no orthomolecular protection measures other than iodine supplementation were taken, although scie...
متن کاملProtection of firefighters against combustion aerosol particles: simulated workplace protection factor of a half-mask respirator (pilot study).
The present pilot study investigated the penetration of ultrafine particles originated by combustion of different materials into elastomeric half-mask respirators equipped with two P100 filters. We determined the Simulated Workplace Protection Factor (SWPF) for 11 firefighters wearing elastomeric half-mask respirators and performing activities simulating those conducted during fire overhaul ope...
