Title A name given to the resource Case Studies in Environmental Medicine (CSEM) Benzene Toxicity Subject The topic of the resource This 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 benzene toxicity. Upon completion of this case study the participant should be able to discuss the major exposure route for benzene, describe two potential environmental and occupational sources of benzene exposure, give two reasons benzene is a health hazard, describe three factors contributing to benzene toxicity, identify evaluation and treatment protocols for persons exposed to benzene, and list two sources of information on benzene. The CDC designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 hours toward the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician's Recognition Award, 1.5 contact hours of continuing education in nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation, and awards 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

Title A name given to the resource Fiche de prévention - Exposition au formaldéhyde en milieu de travail - La pathologie Subject The topic of the resource For three years, the IRSST carried out a study to evaluate the economic and health impacts of lowering the Québec permissible exposure value for formaldehyde in response to a request from the CSST. The institute's researchers directed a multidisciplinary team consisting of some ten scientists who mainly documented worker exposure in 31 activity sectors in Québec. The many findings from their work became the subject of reports, communications and scientific articles. The aim of this new project is the optimum promotion of the knowledge thus acquired to Québec professionals. This transfer of knowledge will involve two approaches: the writing of a prevention guide covering all of the health and safety aspects related to formaldehyde, and the preparation of safety data sheets for several activity sectors, in collaboration with the sector partners. Transfer of knowledge to intermediaries in various environments will result in the implementation of more effective means of preventing the effects of formaldehyde on workers' health.

Title A name given to the resource Impact of lowering of the permissible exposure value for formaldehyde - Health impact of an occupational exposure to formaldehyde Subject The topic of the resource Following a request from the review committee for Schedule A of the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety, and following a preliminary feasibility study, this project aimed to evaluate the health and socioeconomic impacts of lowering the current permissible exposure value of 2 ppm ceiling to one of the values of 1.0, 0.75 or 0.3 ppm ceiling or weighted for eight hours. The authors evaluated the gains for workers' health and the costs and economic advantages for companies. To achieve this, they adopted a mixed approach that combined expertise and a classic industrial hygiene approach, in order to produce a matrix linking economic activity sectors and formaldehyde exposure concentrations. The addition of data on workstations and emission sources made it possible to consolidate the results obtained by sector, manpower and distribution of exposed workers. This project has also resulted in the acquisition of knowledge on a large number of economic activity sectors in Québec as well as expertise on the evaluation of occupational health and safety impacts. The results are published by industrial sector, and overall, in 13 publications, including the comprehensive report.

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 Nettoyage et décontamination des lieux de travail où il y a présence de Beryllium - Synthèse des bonnes pratiques (Document en collaboration) Subject The topic of the resource This document presents a summary of good cleanup and decontamination practices for workplaces where beryllium (Be) is found, based on a review of scientific and technical documentation. Its objective is to inform on-site staff about these good practices, and encourage broader discussion on how current knowledge can be applied to the Quebec context. The second step will involve drafting a decontamination guide, complete with a prevention program for workers directly involved in decontamination exercises. The content of this document summarizes good practices recommended by the Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Cardiff Atomic Weapons Establishment of the United Kingdom, and the U.S. company Brush Wellman Inc., and adapts them to the Quebec context. It also revisits the major ideas expressed in the Info-Beryllium newsletter and refers to the sampling and analysis methods of renowned organizations (NIOSH - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, OSHA, IRSST (Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail)), as well as to Quebec regulations.

Title A name given to the resource Pediatric Toxicology: Methyl parathion Subject The topic of the resource This pediatric case study, available in English, is approximately 30 minutes in length, is complete with an optional quiz at the beginning and end of the case, and is intended for intermediate level healthcare and public health professionals, along with environmental health specialists. The overall goal of the Great Lakes Center for Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health case studies in pediatric toxicology is to make clinicians aware of the role of environmental toxicants in causing adverse health effects in children. At the end of this case, the learner will: • Be familiar with the components of the environmental history • Expand a typical differential diagnosis to include environmentally-induced illnesses • Be familiar with the clinical presentation, pathophysiology and treatment of a classic environmental poisoning • Be familiar with the clinical, governmental, and community resources involved in managing exposure outbreaks, performing environmental monitoring and advocating exposure prevention.
