Dioxin: exposure-response analyses and risk assessment.
Low-levels of dioxin cause cancer in animals. In 1997 dioxin was found to be a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, based largely on four studies of industrial workers exposed to high levels. Recently there has been interest in estimating human cancer risk at low level environmental exposures. Here we review quantitative exposure-response analyses and risk assess...
متن کاملPaternal Occupational Exposure to Solvents and The Risk of Congenital Heart Defects in Children Using Job Exposure Matrix
Background and aims: Currently, as a result of research on laboratory animals, abundant information has been obtained on the impact of various environmental factors on the occurrence of congenital malformations, but there is still no comprehensive information on the causes of congenital heart malformations (CHD) in human populations. Congenital heart defects (CHDs) constitute the major class of...
متن کاملx2001 – Exposure Assessment in Epidemiology and Practice
This paper presents new equipment to investigate workers’ time activity patterns (TAP) in workenvironment. A real-time chemical sensor coupled with a data logger comprises the newelectronic time activity recorder (ETAR). TAP data obtained from traditional workers’ recalledquestionnaires, working schedule of the plant, and ETAR were compared with the goldenreference, direct obser...
متن کاملRisk assessment and receiver operating characteristic curves.
Risk assessment is now regarded as a necessary competence in psychiatry. The area under the curve (AUC) statistic of the receiver operating characteristic curve is increasingly offered as the main evidence for accuracy of risk assessment instruments. But, even a highly statistically significant AUC is of limited value in clinical practice.
متن کاملAssessment of mechanical exposure in ergonomic epidemiology.
In recent years several different methods have been developed to assess mechanical exposures, which are related to musculoskeletal disorders in ergonomic epidemiology. Each of these methods is capable of measuring one or more aspects of risk factors, but has drawbacks as well. Improper application of methods might result in biased exposure estimates, which has serious consequences for risk esti...
