Title A name given to the resource <h2>Pesticides en milieu serricole : Caractérisation de l'exposition des travailleurs et évaluation des délais de réentrée</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Several documents describe the risks of harmful effects of pesticides on the health of workers in the greenhouse environment. Frequent indoor pesticide use and the rapid return to regular activities in locations that have been treated increase these risks. To respond to concerns raised by workers at the City of Montréal's Botanical Gardens and Louis Dupire greenhouses, scientists from the Institut national de santé publique du Québec initiated this study on the potential risks of pesticide exposure in a closed environment. To document this question, researchers analyzed the evolution of the behaviour of dislodgeable foliar residues between the application of pesticides and the return to work, the risks of skin exposure, and finally, the results of biological monitoring of the total exposure of workers to pesticides. The information collected allowed a better documentation of the pesticide exposure levels of the workers involved, identified certain deficiencies in the technical organization of the work, and allowed corrective measures to be proposed for limiting the exposure of these workers to pesticides. Although the exposure levels measured in greenhouses seem to be relatively low, possibly due to the short direct-exposure times, the data relating to the persistence of the dislodgeable residues suggest a significant exposure in intensive production greenhouses</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/fr/_publicationirsst_858.htmldf" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/fr/_publicationirsst_858.htmldf</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>Portrait de l'utilisation des produits à base d'acrylates en milieux de travail québécois</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>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&amp;D and new services will result from this work, namely safe methods for diagnosing respiratory diseases attributable to acrylates.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100188.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100188.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>Poverty: Assessing the distribution of health risks by socioeconomic position at national and local levels</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This 40-page guide is available in English and is intended for entry level public health professionals and environmental health specialists alike. This guide describes a method for measuring the distribution of health risk factors as a function of socioeconomic position. An overview of the method and its requirements are first described, followed by a step-by-step numerical example that uses data for Pakistan. In the numerical example, we focus on income poverty as the measure of socioeconomic position, and we use child malnutrition as the health risk factor. The example uses World Bank estimates of income poverty, individual level survey data on the distribution of risk factors by socioeconomic position, and external estimates of the prevalence of the risk factor. From this information, we estimate the risk factor prevalence by category of income poverty, as well as the impact fractions (or attributable risks). Problems in estimating the disease burden of socioeconomic position are also discussed.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/ebd10.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/ebd10.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>Qualité de l'air dans les étables de veaux de lait</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>It is now known that the air quality in buildings used for animal production can affect the workers' quality of life and health as well as the performance of the animals. Although this reality is well known for swine production, no study deals with veal calf breeding, which is expanding. The aim of this study is to characterize and quantify, by season, the chemical substances and biological agents present in the air of veal calf production buildings, to determine the risks for people in relation to standards and guidelines, and then to propose simple and not very costly quality criteria for building managers to improve air quality, if needed. This study's recommendations will be disseminated to the stakeholders in the veal calf production industry, and an action grid will be made available to them so that they can make the relevant changes.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100323.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100323.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.
