the study of 10,504 cases of industrial accidents, involving 590,164 injured workers employed in different industries in tehran industrial pole during one year shows that the over all incidence rate is 17.80 with a significant variation in regard to age and the type of industry. furthermore, 96.58% 0t accidents have happened within the workshops. considering the final outcome of the accidents, ...

Pesticides are ubiquitous neurotoxicants, and several lines of evidence suggest that exposure may be associated with depression. Epidemiologic evidence has focused largely on organophosphate exposures, while research on other pesticides is limited. We collected detailed pesticide use history from farmers recruited in 1998-2000 in France. Among 567 farmers aged 37-78 years, 83 (14.6%) self-repor...

industrial towns with whatever purpose, can reduce the problems in rural areas, providing employment and income for rural people and the welfare of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages to be effective. evaluation of the impact of the creation of industrial zones and rural employment status of workers, especially rural workers, the main objective of this research. this study seeks to answ...

Most agronomic situations involve a sequence of herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide application. On the other hand, use of pesticidal combinations has become a standard practice in the production of many agricultural crops. One of the most important processes influencing the behavior of a pesticide in the environment is its degradation in soil. It is known that due to several pesticide applic...

background industrial growth is occurring exponentially, for unimpeded growth, industrial workers are recruited on a large scale globally. there are various sectors of industries present for which laborers are trained in accordance to their requirements. as workers possess the general health risk of occupational hazards, various labor laws, schemes and policies are undertaken by the government ...

OBJECTIVE To determine which proposed risk factor, work activity (industrial v clerical), body mass index (BMI), or other demographic factors had the most influence on the prevalence of median mononeuropathy at the wrist, and if there was an interaction between the risk factors. METHODS This was a cross sectional study of active workers at five different worksites; four were industrial sites ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Traffic noise <60 dB(A) has been associated with an increased risk of stroke. We investigated this relationship for 80 to 86 dB(A) occupational noise. METHODS We followed 116,568 industrial and 47,679 financial workers by linkage to Danish registries 2001 through 2007. Full-shift noise levels were estimated from subsets of workers at baseline and end of follow-up. RES...

Effects of climate change on productivity of agricultural crops in relation to diseases that attack them are difficult to predict because they are complex and nonlinear. To investigate these crop-disease-climate interactions, UKCIP02 scenarios predicting UK temperature and rainfall under high- and low-CO(2) emission scenarios for the 2020s and 2050s were combined with a crop-simulation model pr...
