Title A name given to the resource <h2>Formaldéhyde en milieu de travail : guide de prévention</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>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.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100211.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100211.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 <h2>Nanoparticles - Actual Knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety Risks and Prevention Measures</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>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.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100210.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100210.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 <h2>Quantification de la variabilité biologique - Impact de la variation des niveaux ambiants de contaminants</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Biomonitoring indicators serve as a complement to environmental monitoring for documenting, controlling and preventing worker exposure to chemical contaminants, and vary with factors related to the worker and his environment. In a previous study, the authors examined the individual conditions responsible for this variability. In this publication, they document the effect of variation in exposure levels on the measurement of these indicators. The objective: to propose a model for the mathematical calculation of the total variability while taking the different sources into account. As a complement to previous research in this field, this study provides Québec occupational health professionals with essential information on the total variability that can affect biomonitoring data. The results will be used to compare expected variations in environmental surveillance parameters to the variation in biological indicators, according to different exposure scenarios. This information will be added to the IRSST's biomonitoring guide. The institute's various clienteles will thus have a decision tool applicable to biomonitoring strategies. This research will also yield a computer tool that facilitates calculation of the number of samples required.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100327.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100327.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
