Title A name given to the resource Energy and Health Subject The topic of the resource This 2-page fact sheet is available in English and is intended to provide awareness to the use of energy and its impact on health. The intended audience includes public health professionals, educators, as well as environmental health specialists. Energy is the fuel for everyday living. Energy is essential to health, development and livelihoods — whether used inside the home, for cooking and heating, or in our cities and towns, for transport and productive activities. Yet energy use can also be harmful to health — particularly in poor societies where inefficient or inappropriate methods of heating, cooking and transport may degrade home and community environments, and have severe impacts on health.

Title A name given to the resource Surveillance de l'asthme professionnel chez des travailleurs dans des secteurs à risque Subject The topic of the resource Occupational asthma is the occupational respiratory disease most frequently recognized by the CSST. Sixty new cases are compensated annually, half of which are in young workers. In some industrial sectors, fewer than five years elapse between the start of exposure and the appearance of the first symptoms. To have a better understanding of this phenomenon, the researchers will evaluate instruments for measuring immunological and functional parameters for monitoring occupational asthma on three cohorts of workers. The targeted sectors are those where flour, laboratory animals and latex are found, which are among the main causal agents of Québec cases of occupational asthma. From this study, it will be possible to determine the incidence of specific immunological sensitization, of respiratory symptoms or occupational rhinoconjunctivitis, of bronchial hyperreactivity and occupational asthma in these groups at risk. Its results will promote better prevention of occupational asthma and its long-term sequellae, while increasing scientific knowledge about its natural history.

Title A name given to the resource Qualité de l'air dans les étables de veaux de lait Subject The topic of the resource <span>It is now known that the air quality in buildings used for animal production can affect the workers' quality of life and health as well as the performance of the animals. Although this reality is well known for swine production, no study deals with veal calf breeding, which is expanding. The aim of this study is to characterize and quantify, by season, the chemical substances and biological agents present in the air of veal calf production buildings, to determine the risks for people in relation to standards and guidelines, and then to propose simple and not very costly quality criteria for building managers to improve air quality, if needed. This study's recommendations will be disseminated to the stakeholders in the veal calf production industry, and an action grid will be made available to them so that they can make the relevant changes.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100323.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100323.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Indoor Air Quality Scientific Findings Resource Bank Subject The topic of the resource <span>This Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Scientific Findings Resource Bank (IAQ-SFRB) serves as a resource for public health professionals, building professionals, and others who seek scientific information about the effects of IAQ on people's health or work performance. General introductory-level background information on IAQ is presented in An Overview of IAQ. The IAQ-SFRB provides information summarizing the state of scientific knowledge about the relationships between people's health and productivity and the IAQ conditions or associated building characteristics in which the people work or reside. When possible, these relationships are expressed in quantitative terms using graphics, charts, or equations. The summaries also include brief descriptions of the actions that may be taken to improve the pertinent aspects of IAQ, including those related to building design, construction, operation, maintenance, and occupant activities. This web site also provides links for downloading published journal articles that were developed specifically for the IAQ-SFRB project. All of the information provided in the IAQ-SFRB has undergone review by multiple experts other than the authors.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://eetd.lbl.gov/ied/sfrb/" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://eetd.lbl.gov/ied/sfrb/</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource La microflore de l'air ambiant des porcheries Subject The topic of the resource Several studies have indicated the existence of a high prevalence (up to 68%) of chronic bronchitis among workers involved in pork-breeding; isolated cases of asthma and allergic alveolitis have also been reported. Pork-breeding is the second largest agricultural sector in Québec, employing approximately 15 000 people. Although the working conditions in Québec pork-breeding operations have not been studied, it is generally accepted that they are characterized by the presence of multiple species of microorganisms, various antigenic substances (feed, pig hair and skin, etc.), and a number of toxic gases, including hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. At the request of a pneumologist at l'Hôpital Laval in Québec, the IRSST sampled the ambient air of four pork-breeding facilities and characterized the microflora found there. The goals of the project were the characterization of the microflora and the factors on which their growth depends, and the evaluation of the feasibility of implementing engineering control measures and personal protective strategies. The most commonly encountered species of microflora were identified and quantified, sampling methods developed, and a guide for the evaluation of exposure to microflora distributed to pork breeders and those responsible for occupational health and safety.

Title A name given to the resource Residential Air Cleaners (Second Edition): Summary of Available Information Subject The topic of the resource This publication focuses on air cleaners for residential use; it does not address air cleaners used in large or commercial structures such as office buildings, schools, large apartment buildings, or public buildings. It should be particularly useful to residential housing design professionals, public health officials, and indoor air quality professionals. In addition to providing general information about the types of pollutants affected by air cleaners, this document discusses: the effectiveness of air cleaning compared to other strategies, such as source control and ventilation, for reducing indoor air pollutants; the types of air-cleaning devices available; guidelines that can be used to compare air-cleaning devices; the effectiveness of air-cleaning devices in removing indoor air pollutants; general information on the health effects of indoor air pollutants; and additional factors to consider when deciding whether to use an air-cleaning device.

A Report of the Federal-Provincial Advisory Committee on Environmental and Occupational Health Subject The topic of the resource In 1981 the Federal-Provincial Working Group on Indoor Air Quality met for the first time. During the subsequent four years they worked to develop guidelines and recommendations for indoor air quality. The primary objective of the Working Group was to develop guidelines for the concentrations of selected contaminants of residential indoor air, taking into account such factors as the sensitivity of groups at special risk and the sources and mechanisms of action of contaminants. The second objective was to develop, where practicable, other guidelines or recommendations for measures that will preserve of improve air quality in domestic premises. It is anticipated that these guidelines will provide a reference point against which the adequacy of residential indoor air quality and remedial measures can be judged.
