Measured occupational solar UVR exposures of lifeguards in pool settings.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to measure ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposures of lifeguards in pool settings and evaluate their personal UVR protective practices. METHODS Lifeguards (n = 168) wore UVR sensitive polysulfone (PS) film badges in wrist bracelets on 2 days and completed a survey and diary covering sun protection use. Analyses were used to describe sun exposure and sun prot...
متن کاملValidity of self-reported solar UVR exposure compared with objectively measured UVR exposure.
BACKGROUND Reliance on verbal self-report of solar exposure in skin cancer prevention and epidemiologic studies may be problematic if self-report data are not valid due to systematic errors in recall, social desirability bias, or other reasons. METHODS This study examines the validity of self-reports of exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) compared to objectively measured exposure among ch...
متن کاملPreventing occupational exposures to antineoplastic drugs in health care settings.
The toxicity of antineoplastic drugs has been well known since they were introduced in the 1940s. Because most antineoplastic drugs are nonselective in their mechanism of action, they affect noncancerous as well as cancerous cells, resulting in well-documented side effects. During the 1970s, evidence came to light indicating health care workers may be at risk of harmful effects from antineoplas...
متن کاملMeasured anatomical distributions of solar UVR on strawberry production workers in Italy.
The exposure of outdoor workers to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has been known for some time. Measurements of erythemally weighted UVR are usually related to days of exposure and to the anatomical distribution of UVR on the human body. The aim of this research is to describe the UVR exposure of workers during a strawberry production cycle in order to assess the UVR hazard and to identify t...
متن کاملEffect of altitude on solar UVR and spectral and spatial variations of UV irradiances measured inWagrain, Austria in winter.
Ultraviolet radiation spectral irradiance was measured at different altitudes on horizontal and tilted planes in different azimuth directions on cloudless days in Austria, in March 2010, within the Impact of Climatic and Environmental factors on Personal Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure project framework. The presented results demonstrate variations of the UVB, UVA and biologically effective spec...
