Tracking Organophosphates: New Method for Assessing Long-Term Dietary Exposures
Researchers often use urinary biomonitoring as the basis for estimating exposures to organophosphate pesticides (OPs), including dietary exposures. In this issue of EHP investigators report a new method to estimate long-term exposure to OPs via produce. This method appears to be an improvement over estimates based on urine biomarkers, which ref lect exposure only in the previous few days. The r...
متن کاملA New Fuzzy Method for Assessing Six Sigma Measures
Six-Sigma has some measures which measure performance characteristics related to a process. In most of the traditional methods, exact estimation is used to assess these measures and to utilize them in practice. In this paper, to estimate some of these measures, including Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO), Defects per Opportunity (DPO), Defects per unit (DPU) and Yield, a new algorithm ba...
متن کاملComplex exposures: potentials for assessing integrated exposures.
To determine empirically the most probable mode of interaction of chemicals given in combination, major occupational health, environmental health, and toxicology journals published in the past 10 years were sorted by eye for studies on noncarcinogenic and nonteratogenic effects of industrial and environmental chemicals in combination. Of the 159 relevant studies, 49 reported "more than additive...
متن کاملLong-term noise exposures: A brief review
Occupational regulations are developed to conserve the hearing of a worker noise-exposed for 8 h per day. Workers often work longer shifts. In order to account for longer exposures, regulators have adopted variations of the equal energy hypothesis in which the ear is modeled as an integrator of acoustic energy over time. Thus time and energy can be traded to produce equal hearing loss. This res...

and tobacco smokers and 92 tobacco smokers with 81 non-smokers. They found a dose-response relationship between cannabis consumption and the degree of airways obstruction and hyperinflation. They estimated that one cannabis joint was equivalent to 2.5 cigarettes for the effect on forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity and to 6 cigarettes for the effect on specific airways conduct...
