Title A name given to the resource <h2>Health Effects of Nanoparticles</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_100209.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100209.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>Healthy Housing Reference Manual</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This 236 page manual is available in English, and is intended to provide basic knowledge of healthy housing to healthcare and public health professionals, environmental health specialists, as well as the general public. Housing quality is key to the public’s health. Translating that simple axiom into action is the topic of this book. This new edition will enable public health and housing professionals to grasp our shared responsibility to ensure that our housing stock is safe, decent, affordable, and healthy for our citizens, especially those who are particularly vulnerable and who spend more time in the home, such as children and the elderly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have worked together with many others to discover the ways to eliminate substandard housing conditions that harm health. Home rehabilitation has increased significantly in the last few years and HUD has prepared a nine-part series, The Rehab Guide, that can assist both residents and contractors in the rehabilitation process.</span> Description An account of the resource <a href="http://www.geolibrary.org/library/default.aspx?CategoryID=20">Healthy Housing Reference Manual.pdf</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
