Occupational Exposure to Second-Hand Tobacco Smoke: Development of a Job Exposure Matrix

Children's second-hand tobacco smoke exposure: the silent killer.

Development of a Job-Exposure Matrix (AsbJEM) to Estimate Occupational Exposure to Asbestos in Australia.

INTRODUCTION Occupational exposure data on asbestos are limited and poorly integrated in Australia so that estimates of disease risk and attribution of disease causation are usually calculated from data that are not specific for local conditions. OBJECTIVE To develop a job-exposure matrix (AsbJEM) to estimate occupational asbestos exposure levels in Australia, making optimal use of the availa...

Maternal Exposure to Second-hand Smoke and Super Ovulati on Outcome for Assisted Reproduction

Background The effect of smoking cigarettes is followed by diverse effects on ovaries and developing follicles but the effect of passive smoking on ovarian function is unknown. On the other hand, the ovarian response to induction is a very important step in assisted reproduction. The aim of this study is to compare ovarian response in passive smokers and non-passive smokers in an assisted repro...

A job-exposure matrix for occupational noise: development and validation.

OBJECTIVE To develop a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for occupational noise in Sweden and to estimate its validity. METHODS The JEM, developed by a group of experienced occupational hygienists, contains 321 job families with information regarding occupational noise from 1970 to 2004. The occupational noise information derives from measurements collected from different sources. The time period lab...
