1. 1. Volatile organic compounds from microorganisms : identification and health effects

   Författare :Anna-Sara Claeson; Anna-Lena Sunesson; Jan-Olof Levin; Steven Nordin; Bengt Järvholm; Charles Weschler; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :microorganisms; building materials; VOCs; MVOCs; amines; LC-MS MS; exposure; perceived air quality; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Damp building materials are subjected to degradation processes due to moisture and also microbial growth, with both of these giving rise to emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may contribute to indoor air health problems. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate emissions of reactive and non-reactive VOCs from damp building materials and from the microorganisms growing on them, and also to investigate the possible health impact of these compounds.

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores health hazards for seafarers in the Swedish merchant fleet, and occupational risks for lung cancer, mesothelioma and hematologic malignancy (HM). A special focus has been exposure to benzene and biomarker levels for work on product or chemical tankers during the mid-1990’ies. LÄS MER

4. 3. Epidemiological studies on colorectal cancer : Some design issues and analytical considerations

   Författare :Mats Fredriksson; Bengt Järvholm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Determinants of colon and rectal cancer have been studied in two case-control data sets, one from the north of Sweden, i.e., Norrland, and the other from the county of Östergötland. LÄS MER

5. 4. Chemical exposure in the work place : mental models of workers and experts

   Författare :Anita Pettersson-Strömbäck; Bengt Järvholm; Steven Nordin; Bo Strangert; Marianne Törner; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :self-assessment of exposure; predictions; expert judgment; risk; interpretation; time series analysis; MAPE; benzene; monoterpenes; styrene; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Many workers are daily exposed to chemical risks in their work place that has to be assessed and controlled. Due to exposure variability, repeated and random measurements should be conducted for valid estimates of the average exposure. LÄS MER

7. 5. A multidisciplinary risk assessment of dental restorative materials

   Författare :Anders Tillberg; Anders Berglund; Bengt Järvholm; Lars Widman; Nils Eriksson; Nils Roar Gjerdet; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dental materials; adverse reactions; Social factors; self-reported health; material safety data sheet; resin-based dental materials; allergy; follow-up study; subgroups; long term prognosis; perceived health; ODONTOLOGY; ODONTOLOGI;

   Sammanfattning : Amalgam has been used as a dental restorative material for centuries, but its potential health effects and biopersistance has lead to a decreased use especially in the Nordic countries. New materials have been introduced, partly to replace the mercury containing amalgam and partly because of esthetical reasons. LÄS MER
