Occupational exposure of dentists to extremely-low-frequency magnetic field.
OBJECTIVE To compare occupational exposure to extremely-low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) between dentists practicing in dental clinics and those employed in hospitals. METHODS Thirty-two dentists who worked at clinics (n=15) and 33 dentists employed at hospital dental departments (n=7) voluntarily provided their informed consent to participate in this measurement study. The study dentist...
متن کاملVisual impairment on dentists related to occupational mercury exposure.
A detailed assessment of visual function was obtained in subjects with low-level occupational mercury exposure by measuring hue saturation thresholds and contrast sensitivity functions for luminance and chromatic modulation. General practice dentists (n=15) were compared to age-matched healthy controls (n=13). Color discrimination estimated by the area of Mac Adam ellipses was impaired, showing...
متن کاملHealth risk assessment of occupational exposure to a magnetic field from magnetic resonance imaging devices.
Health care staff who operate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices are exposed to a static magnetic field of significant spatial heterogenity always produced by MRI magnets during the whole shift. They can also be exposed to pulses of a time-varying magnetic field (gradient field) present only during patients' examinations. The level of the workers' exposure depends both on the type of the ...
متن کاملOccupational magnetic field exposure among women in Stockholm County, Sweden.
BACKGROUND Most epidemiological studies on adverse health effects among women in relation to occupational magnetic field exposure have been based on information about men's exposure. AIMS To create a job-exposure matrix for occupational exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields among women. METHODS AND RESULTS Measurements were performed using personal magnetic field meters (Emdex...
متن کاملEvaluating the Changes in Alpha-1 Band Due to Exposure to Magnetic Field
Introduction Increase in alpha band is observed when blood perfusion in frontal area of head decreases. The present study evaluated some changes in the alpha band particularly, alpha-1 of frontal and central areas of the head, when several areas were exposed simultaneously to magnetic field. Materials and Methods Five points of head (F3, F4, Cz, T3, and T4) of twenty healthy male participants w...
