Title A name given to the resource Mise au point et validation d’un outil de calcul du temps de service des cartouches filtrantes pour vapeurs organiques Subject The topic of the resource En étudiant la capacité de filtration et la durée de vie des cartouches de protection respiratoire, l'IRSST a déjà démontré que, dans le cas de mélanges de polluants, il peut être plus dangereux d'utiliser un masque muni de cartouches saturées que de ne pas en porter. Des chercheurs ont mis au point un logiciel qui permet d'estimer le temps de service des cartouches chimiques qui filtrent les vapeurs de 145 solvants, la plupart cités dans le Règlement sur la santé et la sécurité du travail. Ce projet a aussi mené à l'élaboration d'un outil informatique qui permet d'établir une séquence de remplacement des cartouches filtrantes.Tous deux sont accessibles à partir du site Web de l'Institut.

Title A name given to the resource Les risques d'intoxication au monoxyde de carbone associés au dynamitage en milieu habité Subject The topic of the resource Cet avis fait d’abord état des connaissances sur les cas d’intoxication au CO reliés aux dynamitages en milieu habité puis présente brièvement la physiopathologie de l’intoxication au CO. Des hypothèses sur le processus de formation du CO lors du dynamitage et sur sa dispersion dans le sol sont ensuite émises. Un tableau résumant les cinq incidents répertoriés au Québec permet, par la suite, de vérifier les aspects communs entre les différents événements. Ce premier niveau d’analyse devrait permettre de proposer des mesures intérimaires pouvant être appliquées selon le cas par les entrepreneurs ou par les résidents vivant à proximité de lieux de dynamitage de manière à prévenir de nouveaux incidents pouvant avoir des conséquences importantes sur la santé de la population. Rechercher: séisme, tremblement de terre, earthquake, désastre, disaster.

Title A name given to the resource Recension des études épidémiologiques portant sur les effets de l'exposition de la femme enceinte aux agresseurs de nature chimique 1970-1990 Subject The topic of the resource This review of epidemiological studies of hazards faced by pregnant workers exposed to chemical contaminants was undertaken to update the current knowledge base and suggest new research orientations. Using an analytical checklist specifically developed for the project, 119 epidemiological studies were reviewed. The results suggest that the risk of negative birth outcomes is higher in the following sectors: agriculture (miscarriage), rubber and plastics products (miscarriage), leather (stillbirth), metal (miscarriage), and laboratory (birth defects). Solvent exposure may increase the risk of stillbirth and birth defects, exposure to anaesthetic gases may increase the risk of miscarriage, and handling anti-neoplastic drugs may be associated with an increase in birth defects. Overall, it appears that the highest priority should be given to research on the reproductive effects of solvent exposure.

Title A name given to the resource Développement d'une approche basée sur l'analyse du risque toxicologique pour déterminer un niveau acceptable d'exposition aux solvants pour la travailleuse enceinte : projet-pilote portant sur le toluène Subject The topic of the resource The goal of this project was to establish a threshold limit value for toluene which ensures the safety of pregnant workers, using a toxicological-risk-assessment methodology and existing data. Detailed review of the toxicological literature indicated that toluene is embryotoxic and foetotoxic - but not teratogenic - at exposure levels that do not induce serious maternal toxicity. The safe absorbed dose for pregnant workers, calculated on the basis of toxicological data in animals, epidemiological data, and the application of appropriate adjustment factors to the no-effect level in mice, was 2.5 mg/kg/8 h, equivalent to an airborne exposure level of 41 mg/m3 or 11 ppm.

Title A name given to the resource Les risques biologiques reliés aux eaux usées (Document en collaboration) Technical Data Sheet # 19 APSAM Subject The topic of the resource Workers in wastewater treatment plants run the risk of exposure to biological contaminants such as bacteria and moulds. Several municipalities and regional health boards have expressed interest in obtaining reliable data on exposure levels to these agents at different workstations. Using proven methods, the IRSST measured contaminant levels at various workstations in the four largest wastewater treatment plants in Québec. Mean total bacteria concentrations exceeded the exposure limit at a few of the 80 sampling stations. The concentration of Gram-negative bacteria exceeded the exposure limit at only one station. The mean concentration of moulds exceeded the equivalent concentration in outdoor air at several stations. The microbiological quality of outdoor air did not appear to be affected by the operations at these plants.

Title A name given to the resource Présentation des résultats d'analyses produits à l'IRSST en 1997 Subject The topic of the resource In 1998, the IRSST's laboratories performed more than 35 300 environmental analyses of samples collected from companies in 50 major industrial sectors. This summary reports the number of analyses performed for each type of compound analyzed, the concentration ranges observed, and the current Quebec standard for each analyte. In addition, major trends related to substances present in high concentrations in the workplace including welding fumes, miscellaneous dusts, dichloromethane and hard- and softwood dusts ? are described. This document is a source of information that will help health and safety researchers and specialists establish research and field priorities.

Title A name given to the resource La substitution des solvants par la N-méthyl-2-pyrrolidone Subject The topic of the resource Because of regulatory requirements and the inherent hazards of many solvents, there is widespread interest in finding less-toxic substitutes for traditional solvents. Candidate substitutes include d-limonene, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and dibasic esters (DBEs). Substitution strategies should however take into account technical, environmental, and health and safety considerations. Monographs designed for industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, and other health and safety and environmental specialists were therefore produced for each of these substitutes. Each monograph reviews the substitute's physical and chemical properties, use, exposure levels, and health and environmental effects, as well as relevant regulatory and prevention considerations.

Title A name given to the resource Présentation des résultats d'analyses produits en 1996 Subject The topic of the resource The IRSST laboratories produced over 124,000 analysis results for air samples taken in Québec companies between 1994 and 1996. This report presents the substances found in highest concentration at the time of the sampling, as well as the sectors where the samples were taken. The sectors most concerned are chemicals, transportation equipment, mining, quarries and oil wells, rubber and plastic materials, non-metallic mineral products and metal products. Among the known pollutants most frequently detected and found in concentrations more than twice the norm are dichloromethane, welding fumes, unclassified dust, quartz, styrene and lead. In addition, an in-depth examination revealed a certain number of new cases: unclassified dust in peat bogs; acrylonitrile in adhesives; dichloromethane in other metal product swaging industries as well as in the wooden furniture industries.
