Background There is increasing pressure to tighten the regulation of workers' exposures to airborne silica, which can lead to severe and in some cases rapid development of disease. However, estimated risks from respirable silica vary greatly across i

Aim: To quantify the risks of clinically important deficits of FEV1 in coal miners in relation to cumulative and average concentrations of respirable dust. Methods: Data were studied from over 7000 men who had been surveyed in the late 1970s. Linear

To help inform the setting of dust control standards in coalmines, this brief review summarises the most recent and reliable exposure-response relations, for damaging respiratory effects, derived from the Pneumoconiosis Field Research (PFR). Collecti

OBJECTIVES—To investigate the hypothesis that chronic low level exposure to organophosphates (OPs) in sheep dips is related to clinically detectable measures of polyneuropathy. METHODS—The design was a cross sectional exposure-response study of s

The study objectives were to assess the ability of intratracheal injection methods to discriminate between nine fibre types in respect of pulmonary biopersistence, and to provide approximate estimates of relative biopersistence and durability for a s

Recent animal studies have demonstrated three separate and distinct mechanisms by which low toxicity dusts can cause important chronic pulmonary effects; through overloading of clearance mechanisms, through increased toxicity associated with ultrafin

BACKGROUND: Inhalation of fumes from heated colophony (pine resin) is a recognised cause of occupational asthma, although the mechanisms by which colophony produces symptoms are unclear and specific immune responses to colophony have not been reporte

The relations of lung function and chest radiographic appearances with exposure to inspirable dust were examined in 634 workers in five wool textile mills in west Yorkshire, randomly selected to represent fully the range of current exposures to wool
