Occupational Exposure To Radiation Causes Chromosome Aberrations
Professor Manoor Prakash Hande and his colleagues from National University of Singapore studied the effect of plutonium exposure and risk of developing Chromosomal aberrations leading to cancer// in Plutonium plant workers. The study is mainly aimed at identifying biomarkers for easy detection and identification of chromosome aberrations. The study is also aimed at finding a link between...Occupational exposurer aises respiratory symptoms
According to a Norwegian study of 1656 subjects over an eleven year period reveals how exposure to dust and fumes in the workplace is linked to a significant increase in respiratory symptoms.// Initially, 2500 subjects from the city of Bergen and its surroundings were enrolled in 1985 and asked about lung symptoms, workplace dust and fume exposure, smoking habits and asthma. Then, aft...Immune response in Occupational metal fume inhaling workers
Professor Keith Palmer and his team from Southampton General Hospital, studied the inflammatory response in occupational metal fume inhaling workers.// The research work is aimed at studying the environmental risk of developing infections and diseases due to occupational exposure to metal fume. Researchers found that the inflammatory response in Metal fume workers to be low compared t...The Hazard of Occupational Asthma
United Kingdom: Many of Britain’s workers frequently report sick due to respiratory problems, and it is estimated that nearly 1500 to 3000 people develop// occupational asthma every year. Prolonged exposure to dust or substances called "respiratory sensitizers" can trigger occupational asthma. Alveolitus or 'occupational asthma’ is triggered by constant exposure to dust, which leads to...Occupational Hazards increase Breast Cancer risk
A recent study revealed that women at different work places were at higher risk for breast cancer. According to it, women who worked or have grown up// on a farm have a risk of breast cancer that is 3 times higher than non-farm workers. The study also found out that women working in healthcare and car making were at 4 times higher risk for breast cancer than the national average.This...Allergen, Occupational, Ethylene Oxide
