Workplace heat exposure, health protection, and economic impacts: A case study in CanadaAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine - Tập 62 Số 12 - Trang 1024-1037 - 2019
Jennifer Vanos, Daniel J. Vecellio, Tord Kjellström
AbstractBackgroundOccupational heat exposure is a serious concern for worker
health, productivity, and the economy. Few studies in North America assess how
on‐site wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) levels and guidelines are applied in
practice.MethodsWe assessed the use of a WBGT sensor for localized summertime
heat exposures experienced by outdoor laborers at an industrial worksite in

Association between occupational exposure to power frequency electromagnetic fields and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A reviewAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine - Tập 43 Số 2 - Trang 212-220 - 2003
Chung‐Yi Li, Fung‐Chang Sung
AbstractBackgroundFor the past two decades, there has been concern over
electromagnetic exposure and human health. While most research has focused on
cancer and reproductive outcomes, there is interest in the relationship between
electromagnetic fields (EMF) and neurodegenerative diseases.MethodsWe review
epidemiological findings and evidence regarding the association between
occupational exposure... hiện toàn bộ
A case of mistaken identity: Herbal medicine as a cause of lead toxicityAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine - Tập 20 Số 6 - Trang 795-798 - 1991
Justine Smitherman, Philip Harber
AbstractFolk remedies can be a significant unrecognized source of lead toxicity.
This case report of lead toxicity due to Indian traditional herbal medicine
illustrates that suspecting only occupational sources for lead poisoning in
adults may mask a true source of lead exposure.
The pathologist's view of silicosis in 1930 and in 2015. The Johannesburg Conference legacyAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine - Tập 58 Số S1 - Trang 48-58 - 2015
Marianne Kambouchner, Jean‐François Bernaudin
The 1930 International Labour Office Conference on silicosis in Johannesburg was
a turning point in the history of silicosis and in the recognition of the
associated pathologic patterns. Since 1930, pneumoconioses such as silicosis
have become much rarer in developed countries and can now be diagnosed at an
early stage based on clinical and radiologic criteria. However, in spite of
these advances,... hiện toàn bộ
Noise and gastric secretionAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine - Tập 26 Số 3 - Trang 367-372 - 1994
Francesco Tomei, Bruno Papaleo, Tiziana Paola Baccolo, Benedetta Persechino, Giovanni Spanò, Maria Valeria Rosati
AbstractIn view of the increasing incidence of diseases such as gastritis and
ulcers in workers exposed to noise, we assessed whether noise does in fact
affect gastric secretion. Then, considering the conflicting findings published
on the effects of noise on gastric secretion, we also investigated whether the
response was related to differences in baseline secretion, and whether it was
further mod... hiện toàn bộ
