Title A name given to the resource <h2>Impact of lowering of the permissible exposure value for formaldehyde - Health impact of an occupational exposure to formaldehyde</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>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.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100178.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100178.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>Indoor Air Quality Scientific Findings Resource Bank</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Scientific Findings Resource Bank (IAQ-SFRB) serves as a resource for public health professionals, building professionals, and others who seek scientific information about the effects of IAQ on people's health or work performance. General introductory-level background information on IAQ is presented in An Overview of IAQ. The IAQ-SFRB provides information summarizing the state of scientific knowledge about the relationships between people's health and productivity and the IAQ conditions or associated building characteristics in which the people work or reside. When possible, these relationships are expressed in quantitative terms using graphics, charts, or equations. The summaries also include brief descriptions of the actions that may be taken to improve the pertinent aspects of IAQ, including those related to building design, construction, operation, maintenance, and occupant activities. This web site also provides links for downloading published journal articles that were developed specifically for the IAQ-SFRB project. All of the information provided in the IAQ-SFRB has undergone review by multiple experts other than the authors.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://eetd.lbl.gov/ied/sfrb/" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://eetd.lbl.gov/ied/sfrb/</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>Indoor smoke from solid fuels: Assessing the environmental burden of disease</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This 82-page guide is available in English and is intended for intermediate level public health professionals and environmental health specialists. It outlines a method for estimating the disease burden at a national or local level caused by household exposures to indoor smoke from solid fuels. Solid fuel use is defined as the household combustion of coal or biomass (such as dung, charcoal, wood, or crop residues). Worldwide, approximately 50% of all households and 90% of rural households utilize solid fuels for cooking or heating. Solid fuels are commonly burned in inefficient simple stoves and in poorly ventilated conditions. In such situations, solid fuel use generates substantial emissions of many health-damaging pollutants, including respirable particulates and carbon monoxide, and results in indoor air pollution exposures often far exceeding national standards and international guidelines.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/en/Indoorsmoke.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/en/Indoorsmoke.pdf</a> Type The nature or genre of the resource PDF 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>Influence de la hauteur et de l'emplacement des cheminées et des édicules sur la contamination des prises d'air neuf : étude en laboratoire et in situ</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>An air intake's location on the roof of a building is a determining factor for indoor air quality due to the possible reintroduction of contamination from the neighboring exhaust stacks. Ventilation system designers currently use tools such as mathematical models and wind tunnel simulations to estimate the dilution between the source and the air intake. These techniques are valid but do not take into consideration several variables, and sometimes the estimated dilution values differ from the measured values. Using field tests and boundary layer wind tunnel modeling, the authors studied the dilution phenomenon and impact of certain parameters (wind direction, stack height and location, roof irregularities, turbulence, air exhaust velocity) to refine the models used. This project has resulted in the development of guidelines intended for ventilation engineers. The results are also of interest to several professional associations and standardization organizations.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/fr/_publicationirsst_100102.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/fr/_publicationirsst_100102.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>Informations relatives a la presence de norovirus sur les bateaux de croisiere</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This one page fact sheet is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Chinese. It provides basic information about noroviruses, and is intended for health care, public health and environmental health professionals. Noroviruses are a group of viruses (previously known as Norwalk-like viruses) that can affect the stomach and intestines. These viruses can cause people to have gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and the large intestines. Gastroenteritis is sometimes called a calicivirus infection or food poisoning, even though it may not always be related to food. Norovirus is sometimes called the “stomach flu,” although it is not related to the flu (a common respiratory illness cause by the influenza virus).</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/pub/Norovirus/French.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/pub/Norovirus/French.htm</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
