    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of asthma and allergies is increasing, which means that the proportion of workers on the labour market with allergy or other sensitivity also increases. It is as of yet not known to what extent these persons with an elevated sensitivity in the airways or the skin are affected by exposure to irritating substances at work. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Extremly low frequency magnetic fields and breast cancer

    Sammanfattning : Case-control studies comprising telephone interviews for 333 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 226 cases of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML), 330 cases of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and matched controls were conducted. Information had to be obtained from next-of-kin much more often for cases (85%) than for controls (18%). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Health effects from occupational hand-arm vibration

    Författare :Per Vihlborg; Pål Graff; Sverre Wikström; Karim Makdoumi; Magnus Svartengren; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hand-arm vibration; Raynaud’s phenomenon; vibration white finger; carpal tunnel syndrome; acute vibration exposure; neuropathy;

    Sammanfattning : Hand-arm vibration (HAV) is a common occupational exposure in Sweden and worldwide that causes both acute transient effects and persistent hand-arm symptoms. The health effects include vibration-induced Raynaud’s phenomenon, neuropathic symptoms, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and musculoskeletal disorders. LÄS MER
