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 Case Studies in Environmental Medicine (CSEM) Asbestos Toxicity Subject The topic of the resource This peds case study is available in English, and is intended for advanced level health care providers with the goal of increasing the provider’s knowledge of hazardous substances in the environment and to aid in the evaluation of potentially exposed patients. This case study provides information related to at risk populations, exposure pathways, physiologic effects, clinical evaluation, treatment and management, as well as workplace and environmental standards and regulations of asbestos toxicity. Upon completion of this case study the participant should be able to explain why asbestos may be a health hazard, describe the factors contributing to asbestos toxicity, identify potential environmental and occupational sources of exposure to asbestos, identify evaluation and treatment protocols for persons exposed to asbestos, and list sources of information on asbestos. The CDC designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 hours in category 1 credit toward the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician's Recognition Award. 1.8 contact hours is provided by the CDC, which is accredited as a provider of continuing education in nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.

Title A name given to the resource Décès indemnisés à la suite d'une lésion professionnelle - Comparaison entre le Québec, l'Ontario et la Colombie-Britannique, 1997-2003 Subject The topic of the resource No study currently exists that compares the risks of death on the job in Québec to the situation in other Canadian provinces or territories. As the request of the CSST, the researchers will produce provincial indicators as comparable as possible for Québec, British Columbia and Ontario, including characteristics of the dead workers and the injuries compensated. The indicators resulting from this research will allow the comparison of the risks of death in seven activity sectors. They will be useful for determining the effectiveness of prevention measures and for improving the CSST's programs. The methodological process used can also serve as a guide for other studies aiming to produce comparable indices between Canadian provinces or territories.

Title A name given to the resource Hazardous Substances Data Bank Subject The topic of the resource HSDB is a toxicology data file on the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET®). It focuses on the toxicology of potentially hazardous chemicals. It is enhanced with information on human exposure, industrial hygiene, emergency handling procedures, environmental fate, regulatory requirements, and related areas. All data are referenced and derived from a core set of books, government documents, technical reports and selected primary journal literature. HSDB is peer-reviewed by the Scientific Review Panel (SRP), a committee of experts in the major subject areas within the data bank's scope. HSDB is organized into individual chemical records, and contains over 4800 such records. modus Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?HSDB" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?HSDB</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 Health Effects of Nanoparticles 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.
