Title A name given to the resource Healthy Homes Curriculum for Older Americans Subject The topic of the resource This curriculum is available in English and includes a 33-slide PowerPoint presentation, an easy-to-read fact sheet on cockroach control, pre- and post-training surveys to assess the effectiveness of the curriculum, prompt cards for older Americans to use in their homes and with their peers, and an evaluation form. This basic level training is intended to provide older Americans with the skills and information they need to ensure that their homes are as healthy as possible. This curriculum is intended to help healthy homes advocates, practitioners, and others educate older Americans about indoor environmental health, especially as it impacts respiratory health. This curriculum is designed for ease of use and to allow older Americans to in turn educate their peers about indoor environmental health issues like mold and moisture, pests and pesticides, and maintaining lead-safe homes for those seniors with young grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Case Studies in Environmental Medicine (CSEM) Environmental Triggers of Asthma Subject The topic of the resource This peds case study is available in English. It is intended for advanced level health care providers with the goal of increasing the primary care 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 environmental triggers of asthma including: pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, evaluation, follow-up, factors and sources, as well as therapy and prevention. Upon completion of this case study the participant should be able to identify various environmental factors that trigger asthma exacerbations, describe interventions available to mitigate environmental factors in triggering asthma, identify sources of information on the impact of environmental factors on patients with asthma, and identify sources of information on asthma management. The CDC designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 hours toward the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician's Recognition Award, 1.8 contact hours in nursing, and 0.15 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

Title A name given to the resource Vermiculite, Respiratory Disease, and Asbestos Exposure in Libby, Montana: Update of a Cohort Mortality Study Subject The topic of the resource ABSTRACT: This report describes asbestos-related occupational respiratory disease mortality among workers who mined, milled, and processed the Libby vermiculite. The observed dose-related increases in asbestosis and lung cancer mortality highlight the need for better understanding and control of exposures that may occur when homeowners or construction workers (including plumbers, cable installers, electricians, telephone repair personnel, and insulators) disturb loose-fill attic insulation made with asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from Libby, Montana.

Title A name given to the resource Nanoparticles - Actual Knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety Risks and Prevention Measures 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.

Title A name given to the resource Guide sur la protection respiratoire contre les bioaérosols - Recommandations sur le choix et l'utilisation Subject The topic of the resource No respiratory protection guide specific to biological hazards exists. To make up for this deficiency, the review committee for Schedule 1 of the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety asked the IRSST to produce such a document. The authors will take into account two types of hazards: infections associated with living bioaerosols, and the immunological or toxic reactions caused by microorganisms, even dead ones. The guide that will result from their work will be useful to workers exposed to biological hazards and to the people responsible for protecting them by determining the need to wear respiratory protective equipment and by making it easier to choose the most appropriate device, based on the case.
