To investigate an association between quality-adjusted life years (QALY) and work-related stressors (job strain, effort/reward imbalance, and poor support from supervisor and coworkers), and estimate loss in QALY caused by these stressors. A cross-sectional study investigated data from a third-wave survey (in December 2017) of a 2-year prospective cohort study of Japanese workers. At baseline (fir...... hiện toàn bộ
Biological monitoring of environmental and occupational exposure to mercuryInternationales Archiv für Arbeitsmedizin - Tập 63 - Trang 161-167 - 1991
S. Langworth, C.-G. Elinder, C.-J. Göthe, O. Vesterber
Biological monitoring was used to assess mercury exposure from occupational and environmental sources in a group of chloralkali workers (n = 89) and in a control group (n = 75). In the control group, the median value for blood mercury (B-Hg) was 15 nmol/l, that for serum mercury (S-Hg) was 4 nmol/l and that for urinary mercury (U-Hg) was 1.1 nmol/mmol creatinine. Corresponding levels in the chlora...... hiện toàn bộ
Vergiftungserscheinungen bei dicyclohexyl-methan-4-4′-diisocyanat-expositionInternationales Archiv für Arbeitsmedizin - Tập 48 - Trang 179-184 - 1981
R. Israeli, V. Smirnov, M. Sculsky
Vergiftungen durch organische Isocyanate (OI) sind schon seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg bekannt. Die bekanntesten OI sind Toluylen-Diisocyanat (TDI), Diphenyl-Methan-Diisocyanat (MDI), Naphtylen-Diisocyanat (NDI) and Hexamethylen-Diisocyanat (HDI). Alle oben erwdhnten organischen Isocyanate werden für verschiedenartige Zwecke zu Polyurethane polymerisiert. Das Dicyclohexyl-Methane-4-4′-Diisocyanate (D...... hiện toàn bộ
Acrylonitrile: a suspected human carcinogenInternationales Archiv für Arbeitsmedizin - Tập 54 - Trang 317-324 - 1984
Willem Koerselman, Maurits van der Graaf
The literature on carcinogenicity of acrylonitrile (an important intermediate in the chemical industry) is reviewed. The three main conclusions are: (1) Acrylonitrile has genotoxic effects in various tests in microorganisms and in mammal cells. (2) Chronic exposure to acrylonitrile causes tumours in rats. (3) Results of epidemiological studies indicate that acrylonitrile may be a human carcinogen....... hiện toàn bộ
Occupational exposure to chemicals and risk of thyroid cancer in SwedenInternationales Archiv für Arbeitsmedizin - Tập 82 - Trang 267-274 - 2008

To explore thyroid cancer (TC) risk in the Swedish population, associated with occupational exposure to certain chemicals. National cancer and death registries were used to follow-up (1971–1989) all Swedish workers employed in the 1970 census. Each combination of occupation and industry was linked to a Swedish job-exposure matrix (JEM), with exposure to 13 chemicals classified as “possible exposur...... hiện toàn bộ
