Reduction in male births among workers exposed to metal fumes.
Sir—A number of reports suggest that some occupational exposures of males may alter the gender ratio of their offspring. Reduction in male offspring has been observed after exposures to hyperbaric chambers 1 and among professional drivers, 2 applicators of dibromochloropropane, 3 carbon setters 4 and aluminum smelter workers. 5 Weijin and Olsen 6 have suggested that offspring gender ratio, beca...
متن کاملAssessment of DNA damage in WBCs of workers occupationally exposed to fumes and aerosols of bitumen.
We conducted a cross-shift study with 66 bitumen-exposed mastic asphalt workers and 49 construction workers without exposure to bitumen. Exposure was assessed using personal monitoring of airborne bitumen exposure, urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), and the sum of 1-, 2 + 9-,3-,4-hydroxyphenanthrene (OHPH). Genotoxic effects in WBC were determined with nonspecific DNA adduct levels of 8-oxo-7,8-d...
متن کاملRespiratory Diseases Among Dust Exposed Workers
Airborne contaminants occur in the gaseous form (gases and vapours) or as aerosols. Aerosols may exist in the form of airborne dusts, sprays, mists, smokes and fumes. In the occupational setting, all these forms may be important because they relate to a wide range of occupational diseases. Airborne dusts are of particular concern because they are well known to be associated with classical wides...
متن کاملAcute respiratory effects on workers exposed to metalworking fluid aerosols in an automotive transmission plant.
Exposure to metalworking fluids has been linked to modest cross-shift reductions in FEV1 and occupational asthma. To identify responsible agents, we measured personal exposures to thoracic particulate (TP), viable plus nonviable thoracic bacteria (BAC), and vapor phase nicotine (VPN) (as a surrogate for tobacco particulate) among 83 machinists exposed to soluble oils and 46 dry assemblers worki...
متن کاملBiological monitoring of workers exposed to cobalt metal, salt, oxides, and hard metal dust.
OBJECTIVE The aim was to examine the relation between environmental and biological (blood and urine) indices of exposure to different chemical forms of cobalt. METHODS A cross sectional study was undertaken in workers exposed to cobalt metal, oxides, and salts in a refinery and to a mixture of cobalt and tungsten carbide in a hard metal producing plant. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Although biolo...
