Title A name given to the resource Case Studies in Environmental Medicine (CSEM) Benzene Toxicity Subject The topic of the resource This case study is available in English, and is intended for advanced level health care providers with the goal of increasing the 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 at risk populations, exposure pathways, physiologic effects, clinical evaluation, treatment and management, as well as workplace and environmental standards and regulations of benzene toxicity. Upon completion of this case study the participant should be able to discuss the major exposure route for benzene, describe two potential environmental and occupational sources of benzene exposure, give two reasons benzene is a health hazard, describe three factors contributing to benzene toxicity, identify evaluation and treatment protocols for persons exposed to benzene, and list two sources of information on benzene. The CDC designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 hours toward the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician's Recognition Award, 1.5 contact hours of continuing education in nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation, and awards 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

Title A name given to the resource Pediatric Toxicology: Methyl parathion Subject The topic of the resource This pediatric case study, available in English, is approximately 30 minutes in length, is complete with an optional quiz at the beginning and end of the case, and is intended for intermediate level healthcare and public health professionals, along with environmental health specialists. The overall goal of the Great Lakes Center for Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health case studies in pediatric toxicology is to make clinicians aware of the role of environmental toxicants in causing adverse health effects in children. At the end of this case, the learner will: • Be familiar with the components of the environmental history • Expand a typical differential diagnosis to include environmentally-induced illnesses • Be familiar with the clinical presentation, pathophysiology and treatment of a classic environmental poisoning • Be familiar with the clinical, governmental, and community resources involved in managing exposure outbreaks, performing environmental monitoring and advocating exposure prevention.

Title A name given to the resource Mise au point et validation d’un outil de calcul du temps de service des cartouches filtrantes pour vapeurs organiques Subject The topic of the resource En étudiant la capacité de filtration et la durée de vie des cartouches de protection respiratoire, l'IRSST a déjà démontré que, dans le cas de mélanges de polluants, il peut être plus dangereux d'utiliser un masque muni de cartouches saturées que de ne pas en porter. Des chercheurs ont mis au point un logiciel qui permet d'estimer le temps de service des cartouches chimiques qui filtrent les vapeurs de 145 solvants, la plupart cités dans le Règlement sur la santé et la sécurité du travail. Ce projet a aussi mené à l'élaboration d'un outil informatique qui permet d'établir une séquence de remplacement des cartouches filtrantes.Tous deux sont accessibles à partir du site Web de l'Institut.

Title A name given to the resource Les risques d'intoxication au monoxyde de carbone associés au dynamitage en milieu habité Subject The topic of the resource Cet avis fait d’abord état des connaissances sur les cas d’intoxication au CO reliés aux dynamitages en milieu habité puis présente brièvement la physiopathologie de l’intoxication au CO. Des hypothèses sur le processus de formation du CO lors du dynamitage et sur sa dispersion dans le sol sont ensuite émises. Un tableau résumant les cinq incidents répertoriés au Québec permet, par la suite, de vérifier les aspects communs entre les différents événements. Ce premier niveau d’analyse devrait permettre de proposer des mesures intérimaires pouvant être appliquées selon le cas par les entrepreneurs ou par les résidents vivant à proximité de lieux de dynamitage de manière à prévenir de nouveaux incidents pouvant avoir des conséquences importantes sur la santé de la population. Rechercher: séisme, tremblement de terre, earthquake, désastre, disaster.

Title A name given to the resource Recension des études épidémiologiques portant sur les effets de l'exposition de la femme enceinte aux agresseurs de nature chimique 1970-1990 Subject The topic of the resource This review of epidemiological studies of hazards faced by pregnant workers exposed to chemical contaminants was undertaken to update the current knowledge base and suggest new research orientations. Using an analytical checklist specifically developed for the project, 119 epidemiological studies were reviewed. The results suggest that the risk of negative birth outcomes is higher in the following sectors: agriculture (miscarriage), rubber and plastics products (miscarriage), leather (stillbirth), metal (miscarriage), and laboratory (birth defects). Solvent exposure may increase the risk of stillbirth and birth defects, exposure to anaesthetic gases may increase the risk of miscarriage, and handling anti-neoplastic drugs may be associated with an increase in birth defects. Overall, it appears that the highest priority should be given to research on the reproductive effects of solvent exposure.

Title A name given to the resource Développement d'une approche basée sur l'analyse du risque toxicologique pour déterminer un niveau acceptable d'exposition aux solvants pour la travailleuse enceinte : projet-pilote portant sur le toluène Subject The topic of the resource The goal of this project was to establish a threshold limit value for toluene which ensures the safety of pregnant workers, using a toxicological-risk-assessment methodology and existing data. Detailed review of the toxicological literature indicated that toluene is embryotoxic and foetotoxic - but not teratogenic - at exposure levels that do not induce serious maternal toxicity. The safe absorbed dose for pregnant workers, calculated on the basis of toxicological data in animals, epidemiological data, and the application of appropriate adjustment factors to the no-effect level in mice, was 2.5 mg/kg/8 h, equivalent to an airborne exposure level of 41 mg/m3 or 11 ppm.

Title A name given to the resource Les risques biologiques reliés aux eaux usées (Document en collaboration) Technical Data Sheet # 19 APSAM Subject The topic of the resource Workers in wastewater treatment plants run the risk of exposure to biological contaminants such as bacteria and moulds. Several municipalities and regional health boards have expressed interest in obtaining reliable data on exposure levels to these agents at different workstations. Using proven methods, the IRSST measured contaminant levels at various workstations in the four largest wastewater treatment plants in Québec. Mean total bacteria concentrations exceeded the exposure limit at a few of the 80 sampling stations. The concentration of Gram-negative bacteria exceeded the exposure limit at only one station. The mean concentration of moulds exceeded the equivalent concentration in outdoor air at several stations. The microbiological quality of outdoor air did not appear to be affected by the operations at these plants.
