1. 1. Occupational exposure during production of wood pellets in Sweden

   Författare :Katja Hagström; Kåre Eriksson; Gunilla Lindström; Paul Demers; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Occupational hygiene; wood dust; resin acids; VOC; variability; determinant of exposure; overexposure; dermal exposure; Occupational medicine; Yrkesmedicin; Enviromental Science; Miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of the studies underlying this thesis were to assess workers’ air exposure to wood dust and various chemicals, and to evaluate the variability in exposure and occupational dermal exposure to resin acids during the production of wood pellets in Sweden. Personal air measurements of wood dust, monoterpenes, resin acids and nitrogen dioxide (as a marker of diesel exhaust), accompanied by area measurements of these substances, VOCs and carbon monoxide, were performed at up to ten plants.

3. 2. Cabin Air Quality in Commercial Aircraft : Exposure, Symptoms and Signs

   Författare :Torsten Lindgren; Dan Norbäck; Gunilla Wieslander; Jan Sundell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; airline crew; aviation medicine; micro-organism; cabin air quality; air humidity; atopy; occupational exposure; environmental tobacco smoke ETS ; psychosocial work environment; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; arbets- och miljömedicin; Occupational and Environmental Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : The objective of the dissertation was to study the cabin environment, and identify personal and environmental risk factors, associated with symptoms, and perception of cabin air quality. Another objective was to study if ban of smoking, and increased relative air humidity on intercontinental flights, could have a beneficial health effect. LÄS MER

4. 3. Estimating children’s exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

   Författare :Kerstin Winkens; Ian T. Cousins; Urs Berger; Robin Vestergren; Heather M. Stapleton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFAS; PFAA; fluorinated; fluorotelomer; FTOH; PAP; early life; child; human; exposure; intake; indoor; bedroom; air; dust; serum; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are highly stable, surface active chemicals, which are water- and oil/stain-repellent. Because of their unique properties, PFASs are widely used in consumer products. LÄS MER

5. 4. Dermal exposure determinants : a pesticide exposure assessment approach for developing countries

   Författare :Luis E Blanco Romero; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Dermal exposure; pesticides; determinants of dermal exposure to pesticides; subsistence farmers; fluorescent tracer; visual scoring system;

   Sammanfattning : Background: We know little about the levels of exposure to pesticide in subsistence farmers mainly because of lack of easy to use and low cost pesticide exposure assessment methods. Aim: This thesis aimed to develop a semi-quantitative approach to assess dermal exposure to pesticides relevant for conditions in developing countries. LÄS MER

7. 5. Biomarkers of exposure to pesticides in humans

   Författare :Eva Ekman; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
   Nyckelord :Biomarker; Mass Spectrometry; Pharmacokinetics; Exposure assessment; Peticides; Pregnant Women; Biomonitoring; Urine; LC-MS MS; Biomarker; Mass Spectrometry; Pharmacokinetics; Exposure assessment; Peticides; Pregnant Women; Biomonitoring; Urine; LC-MS MS;

   Sammanfattning : Almost every human is exposed to pesticides, in work environments, by domestic use and via diet, drinking water and personal products. Current research expresses concern that low dose exposure over time can lead to adverse health effects. LÄS MER
