The aims were to study biomarkers of systemic inflammation, platelet/endothelial activation and thrombosis in tunnel construction workers (TCW). Biomarkers and blood fatty acids were measured in blood of 90 TCW and 50 referents before (baseline) and

Reactive oxygen species, potentially formed through environmental exposures, can overwhelm an organism's antioxidant capabilities resulting in oxidative stress. Long-term oxidative stress is linked with chronic diseases. Pesticide exposures have been

Background Aluminum potroom exposure is associated with increased mortality of COPD but the association between potroom exposure and annual decline in lung function is unknown. We have measured lung volumes annually using spirometry from 1986 to 1996

Introduction A number of tasks in heavy construction generate crystalline silica dust, which is a significant contributor to occupational mortality and morbidity. When a new heavy construction site is established, first excavators come to clear the s

Sawmill workers are exposed to wood dust (a well-known carcinogen), microorganisms, endotoxins, resin acids (diterpenes), and vapours containing terpenes, which may cause skin irritation, allergy, and respiratory symptoms including asthma. The health

Objectives Little is known about the working conditions and airway inflammation in hairdressers in Palestine. We aimed to investigate if hairdressers in Palestine have a higher level of airway inflammation as compared to a control group. We also asse

Background: This study examines the possible effect of exposure to aerosols and gases on lung function in a fertilizer plant in Norway.Methods: Dynamic lung volumes (FVC and FEV1) of 383 workers were measured in 2007 and 2010. During the follow-up pe

Background: Smoke cessation is associated with a decrease in lung function decline compared to sustained smoking, yet it is also associated with weight gain. We hypothesized that increased body mass index (BMI) suppresses the beneficial effects by sm
