Title A name given to the resource Outdoor air pollution: assessing the environmental burden of disease at national and local levels Subject The topic of the resource This 62-page guide is available in English and is intended for intermediate level public health professionals and environmental health specialists. This guide outlines a method for quantifying selected health impacts associated with outdoor air pollution. Such an estimate can be performed at the level of a country or city, according to locally available exposure and health data, and can be used as input to decision-making regarding for example transport options or standard setting in air quality. The following health outcomes are considered in this guide: adult cardiovascular diseases and lung cancer associated with long-term exposure to PM2.5, all-cause mortality for all ages associated with short-term exposure to PM10, and infant and childhood mortality from respiratory diseases associated with PM10 exposure. Outdoor air pollution has been associated with many more health outcomes, for example asthma exacerbation. However the evidence is currently not sufficient to make recommendations for quantitative methods that are applicable at global level. The guide reviews the scientific evidence for the effects of air pollution on both mortality and morbidity. It summarizes the steps for calculating the disease burden, discusses associated uncertainties and illustrates the method using a step-by-step numerical example for Bangkok, Thailand.

Title A name given to the resource Foreuses à béquille - Mise au point d'un banc d'essai pour caractériser les valeurs d'émission vibratoire Subject The topic of the resource Jackleg drills, very common in the mining industry, have been shown to produce vibration levels that can lead to hand-arm vibration syndrome in their users. In a previous study, the researcher created a prototype of an antivibration handle for one of the two models of drills most commonly used in Québec. Since it reduces exposure to hand-arm vibration by approximately 50%, this handle can be expected to be marketed and the model adapted to the other model of drill. This project consists of designing a test bench to characterize the emissions from jackleg drills under controlled conditions in order to evaluate the actual efficiency of the antivibration handle, and to follow its evolution in relation to its wear. These results can then be the basis for developing a procedure for the standardized characterization of vibration emissions from jackleg drills and facilitate the marketing of antivibration handles for reducing mining workers' exposure to hand-arm vibration.

Title A name given to the resource Portrait de l'utilisation des produits à base d'acrylates en milieux de travail québécois Subject The topic of the resource Widely used in many industrial sectors, acrylates can cause allergic sensitization, rhinoconjunctivitis and occupational asthma. Knowledge about their exact nature and the generation and analysis methods, in the laboratory as well as by direct-reading instruments, would allow safe bronchial provocation tests to be developed in the exposure chambers created by the IRSST. This activity is an initial step, which consists of documenting the acrylates used in Québec and the evaluation methods available. It will allow a strategy to be established for investigating these compounds and their related health problems. Avenues for R&D and new services will result from this work, namely safe methods for diagnosing respiratory diseases attributable to acrylates.
