Title A name given to the resource <h2>Surveillance de l'asthme professionnel chez des travailleurs dans des secteurs à risque</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Occupational asthma is the occupational respiratory disease most frequently recognized by the CSST. Sixty new cases are compensated annually, half of which are in young workers. In some industrial sectors, fewer than five years elapse between the start of exposure and the appearance of the first symptoms. To have a better understanding of this phenomenon, the researchers will evaluate instruments for measuring immunological and functional parameters for monitoring occupational asthma on three cohorts of workers. The targeted sectors are those where flour, laboratory animals and latex are found, which are among the main causal agents of Québec cases of occupational asthma. From this study, it will be possible to determine the incidence of specific immunological sensitization, of respiratory symptoms or occupational rhinoconjunctivitis, of bronchial hyperreactivity and occupational asthma in these groups at risk. Its results will promote better prevention of occupational asthma and its long-term sequellae, while increasing scientific knowledge about its natural history.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100279.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100279.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>Table of Products That May Contain Mercury and Recommended Management Options</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This document is available in English and is intended to provide basic information related to the storage and clean up of common Mercury containing products to environmental health specialists, public health professionals, and the general public. Examples of product types that may contain mercury are found in the product list. When a mercury-containing product breaks and the mercury is spilled, the exposed mercury can evaporate and become an invisible, odorless toxic vapor. Some of these products such as mercury-containing thermometers can break easily and spill mercury. To prevent mercury releases, these products should be used and stored safely, and managed properly at the end of their useful lives. Most states and localities have household hazardous waste collection and exchange programs for mercury-containing devices. Many other products, however, such as mercury switches in appliances, are unlikely to break until the products are disposed of, and therefore present little spillage hazard in people's homes. The product list includes recommended tips for safe end-of-life management to prevent mercury releases. The list also includes information on older products, such as certain latex interior and exterior paints, which used to contain mercury, but now do not.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/mercury/con-prod.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/mercury/con-prod.htm</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>The effect of stack height, stack location and rooftop structures on air intake contamination: A laboratory and full-scale study</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_100103.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/fr/_publicationirsst_100103.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>Tipps fur Kruezfahrten</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <p>This one page fact sheet is available in English, French, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and German. It provides awareness information related to healthy and safe cruising for healthcare and public health professionals, environmental health specialists, as well as the general public. Each year millions of U.S. citizens enjoy cruise vacations. In 2005, approximately 9.8 million passengers embarked from North American ports for their cruise vacation (from Cruise Lines International Association). Traveling on cruise ships exposes people to new environments and high volumes of people, including other travelers. Although an infrequent occurrence, this exposure creates the risk for illness, either from contaminated food, water or more commonly through person to person contact.</p> <p></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><span>Author(s)</span>:</td> <td><span>n/a</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/pub/CruisingTips/German.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/pub/CruisingTips/German.htm</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>Tools for assessing the operation and maintenance status of water supply and sanitation in developing countries</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>The nine assessment tools included in this document are available in English, Spanish, and Arabic. The intended audience includes advanced level public health professionals, environmental health specialists, policy-makers (including staff of international development agencies) who need to optimize the investments in water and sanitation by developing improved management strategies which give a higher profile to operation and maintenance, professional staff employed in utilities, local government (both urban and rural), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) who are involved in the development of programs to improve the actual operation and maintenance of water supply and sanitation facilities. Problems with the operation and maintenance of water supply and sanitation have long been recognized as key constraints to the sustainability of these services. In order to address these problems in both urban and rural areas of developing countries, this document proposes a framework for management and tools for assessing the status of operation and maintenance (O&amp;M) through measurement and evaluation of performance.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/hygiene/om/omtools/en/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/hygiene/om/omtools/en/index.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
