Title A name given to the resource Nanoparticles - Actual Knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety Risks and Prevention Measures Subject The topic of the resource Québec is very active in research in the field of nanoparticle development and nanotechnology. More than 35 production companies already exist or are in the start-up phase. It is believed that the number of Québec workers potentially exposed will grow over the next few years. To prevent the development of occupational diseases or the occurrence of accidents, the IRSST began a review of world-wide scientific knowledge to evaluate whether there are known risks associated with this emerging sector. An initial report addressing the health effects (R-451) shows that a limited number of toxicological studies exist, but all of these studies conclude that there are some health risks following exposure to nanoparticles. Although numerous risks are associated with the nature of nanoparticles, it has now been clearly established that toxicity is related to the surface area of these particles and not their mass, and that, for a given substance, the toxicity is much higher when it is of nanometric size than micrometric size. - The second report (R-455) summarizes current knowledge about nanoparticles, their synthesis and applications, health and safety risks, and the challenges in evaluating occupational exposure. Also discussed are nanoparticle-related occupational health and safety control and prevention aspects.

Title A name given to the resource Analyse de l'expectoration induite dans la silicose et l'amiantose : corrélation avec la fonction pulmonaire Subject The topic of the resource Asbestosis and silicosis are the most common pneumoconioses in Québec and are often associated with a gradual deterioration in pulmonary function. The authors of this publication studied the possible role of induced expectoration (IE), a non-invasive technique for analyzing bronchial inflammation, in evaluating the severity of pneumoconioses and a decline in pulmonary function. They wanted to verify whether some markers of the inflammatory and fibrosis processes can be measured in IE and whether they are predictors of clinical evolution. - The authors believe that their findings will have to be verified on a larger number of workers, but that induced expectoration could be used to evaluate workers and to follow subjects at risk.

Title A name given to the resource Risk of Multiple Myeloma and Cancers of the Respiratory System, Oesophagus, Stomach, Pancreas, Prostate, Testes and Skin in Firemen Subject The topic of the resource Multiple myeloma, and cancer of the respiratory tract, eosophagus, stomach, pancreas, prostate, testicles and skin: Available epidemiological data do not indicate that the cancers examined in this analysis can be assumed to occur in fire fighters as a result of their profession. This conclusion is based on the absence of a significant increase in risk in most of the studies and the minimal increase in risk in the cases where it is present.
