Exposure effect

public was shaken. In Silent Spring Carson wrote about the environmental effects of careless use of pesticides. (Delaplane, 2) Silent Springs lead to the government looking into more environmentally safe pesticides. Many of…

The concept of ergonomics is central to the discussion on the effect of health and safety on productivity [1]. The aim of ergonomics is to ensure the well-being of worker by attaining optimal working conditions by using the most suitable physical characteristics and psychological capability [2]. Occupational and environmental respiratory diseases have a long history with respiratory disorders among tobacco workers [3]. As early as the beginning of the 18th century, ‘Ramazzini’ wrote about…

smokers emit. Thus, smoking or exposure to SHS among asthmatics makes them more susceptible towards morbidity and disease severity. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the impact of second hand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure and its effects of inducing asthma…

biological effects of cell phone radiation on human tissues and that currently studies suggested that mobile radiation can double the risk of developing cancer. However, there is a great difference between the studies carried out in previous years and the current ones, reason why new researches have been proposed that determine the reality of the consequences of the use of this device. The conclusion it shows that long-term exposure to radiation (EMF) from a cell phone could cause health…

steel foundry workers with multiple chemical and aerosol exposures were examined and found to have more respiratory systems in the phenol exposed group (Office of Environmental Health Hazzard Assessment, 2015). Effects of Animal Exposure As previously stated animals and humans are both affected by phenol exposure. Animals have exhibited the same types of side effects as humans. Animals are exposed to phenol the same way as human exposure;…

elicit portentous and toxic effects (4). Benzo(a)pyrene has a chemical formula of C20H12 and is considered a Group 1 Carcinogen by the International Agency for Research and Cancer (IARC) (7, 11). It is composed of a cyclic structure and crystals appear to be pale yellow and needle like from benzene/methanol. It possesses a faint odor and the crystals of Benzo(a)pyrene may be mono-clinic or orthorhombic (4,e). BaP also has a very low solubility in water and to exert its effects, it must be bound…

public’s awareness on radon exposure and its negative consequences is by identifying who can be most affected by the chemical contact. Children and smokers are the most vulnerable to radon exposure (Huntington-Moskos, Rayens, Wiggins, & Hahn, 2016, p. 535). In comparison to adults, children are more sensitive to radon, which predisposes them to developing lung cancer (p. 529). The risk of getting lung cancer also drastically increases in smokers due to the synergistic effect of cigarette…

Introduction It is known that air pollution had adverse effects on the health of those exposed to it. There is a diverse mix of air pollutants and the most common pollutants in outdoor air include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ground level ozone and particulate matter (PM) (1). Outdoor air pollution is a mixture of gases and particulate matter (PM) of varying sizes and it is often difficult to isolate the source of the PM from all the possible sources of…

Effects of Media Violence On Children After the Newtown shooting it was reported that the shooter spent vast amount of time playing violent videogames, could some of the recent violent tragedies be a result of overexposure to violence during adolescence?
