Cost-effectiveness of laboratory testing.
OBJECTIVE To illustrate how laboratorians and pathologists must demonstrate accountability for efficiency (how well something is done), effectiveness (what is done), and cost-effectiveness (a proxy for value, in which value equals quality per cost). DATA SOURCES A literature search was conducted, including documents in the National Library of Medicine. STUDY SELECTION The literature on cost...
متن کاملComparison of particle lung doses from the fine and coarse fractions of urban PM-10 aerosols.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently revised the national ambient air quality standards to include a new PM-2.5 particulate standard. We examine the contributions of fine (PM-2.5) and coarse (PM-2.5 to -10) fraction of typical urban aerosols to particle doses in different lung airways resulting from 24-h exposure to the standard concentration of 150 microg m-3. The aerosol is...
متن کاملExplorer Asthma and PM 10
PM10 (the mass of particles present in the air having a 50% cutoff for particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm) is the standard measure of particulate air pollution used worldwide. Epidemiological studies suggest that asthma symptoms can be worsened by increases in the levels of PM10. Epidemiological evidence at present indicates that PM10 increases do not raise the chances of initial s...
متن کاملParticle Size Distribution of PM Emitted from Cotton Harvesting
Poor air quality in some areas of the US has caused regulators to increase regulatory pressure on sources of air pollution. Historically, cotton producers have not been targeted by regulators to reduce emissions through mandatory implementation of particulate matter (PM) control strategies. However, the use of inaccurate PM emission factors for field operations (including cotton harvesting) has...
متن کاملPerformance of High Flow Rate Samplers for Respirable Particle Collection
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial hygienists (ACGIH) lowered the threshold limit value (TLV) for respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure from 0.05 to 0.025 mg m(-3) in 2006. For a working environment with an airborne dust concentration near this lowered TLV, the sample collected with current standard respirable aerosol samplers might not provide enough RCS for quantitative...
