1. 1. Setting occupational exposure limits : Practices and outcomes of toxicological risk assessment

   Författare :Linda Schenk; Christina Rudén; Alan Boobis; Michael Gilek; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Assessment Factor; DNEL; Euroepan Union; Occupational Exposure Limit; REACH; Risk Assessment; Regulatory Toxicology; SCOEL; Uncertainty Factor; Toxicology; Toxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) are used as an important regulatory instrument to protect workers’ health from adverse effects of chemical exposures. The main objective of this thesis is to study risk assessment practices in the setting of OEL in order to produce knowledge that will help improve the consistency and transparency of OELs. LÄS MER

3. 2. Biological and air monitoring of exposure to isocyanates

   Författare :Carl Johan Sennbro; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; industrial medicine; Occupational health; asthma; protein adducts; polyurethane; biomarkers; occupational exposure; DBA; ICA; NDI; MDI; TDI; Diisocyanates; Isocyanates; Biomonitoring; Air monitoring; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Exposure to isocyanates may induce disorders in the airways of workers. Therefore, application, development and validation of methods for exposure assessment is of great importance. LÄS MER

4. 3. Occupational exposure to brominated flame retardants : With emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers

   Författare :Kaj Thuresson; Åke Bergman; Peter Fürst; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; occupational exposure; Brominated flame retardants; polybrominated diphenyl ethers; air and serum concentrations; decabromodiphenyl ether; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are a diverse group of chemicals, which are used to slow down or inhibit the development of fires. BFRs are incorporated into a wide range of consumer products that are considered as potential fire hazards, such as TV-sets, household appliances, computers, and textiles. LÄS MER

5. 4. Management of chemical risk through occupational exposure limits

   Författare :Linda Schenk; Christina Rudén; Michael Gilek; Maria Albin; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; occupational exposure limit; risk assessment; risk management; chemicals regulation; regulatory toxicology; European Union; Toxicology; Toxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) are used as an important regulatory instrument to protect workers’ health from adverse effects of chemical exposures. The OELs mirror the outcome of the risk assessment and risk management performed by the standard setting actor. LÄS MER

7. 5. Systemic effects of occupational exposure to arsenic : with special reference to peripheral circulation and nerve function

   Författare :Birgitta Json Lagerkvist; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arsenic toxicity; Cold-induced vasospasm; Finger systolic pressure; Nerve conduction velocity; Occupational exposure; Raynaud s phenomenon; Serotonin antagonist;

   Sammanfattning : Smelter workers who were exposed to air-borne arsenic for a mean of 23 years, and age-matched referents, were examined with clinical, physiological, and neurophysiological methods. Exposure to arsenic in workroom air was estimated to have been around the Swedish occupational limits, which were 500 yg/m before 1975 and 50 yg/ra thereafter. LÄS MER
