Title A name given to the resource <h2>Méthode pour l'évaluation simultanée de différentes amines en milieu de travail</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Amines are present in several chemicals, paints, adhesives, polymers and rubbers used in workplaces and pose diverse health risks to the workers exposed to them. In an initial step, researchers identified a reagent for simultaneously sampling three different amines and for doing a quantitative analysis. They have now developed this analytical method by using the same reagent to collect and analyze seven amines that are among those most likely to be used in Québec workplaces. This new approach, which can be used in evaluating workplace ambient air quality, has the advantage of including a unique sampling system, independent of the amine to be quantified, and that can be used at a sufficient flow rate to sample not only vapours, but also aerosols.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100295.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100295.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>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>Nanoparticles - Actual Knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety Risks and Prevention Measures</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_100210.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100210.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>Outdoor residential misting systems (including mosquito misting systems)</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This fact sheet is available in English. It provides safety awareness information to those who use or plan to use residential misting systems. An increasing number of households have purchased timed-release outdoor residential misting systems to control mosquitoes and other insects around the home. However, advertisers, the media, and other sources sometimes provide information about misting systems that is difficult to understand or might conflict with other information. This fact sheet page will help consumers: decide if residential pesticide misting systems are appropriate for their home; understand safety precautions about using outdoor misting systems; find related information on Integrated Pest Management -- using a variety of methods for mosquito control; understand the role of the US EPA and state agencies in regulating misters.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/misting_systems.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/misting_systems.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>Pediatric Toxicology: Methyl parathion</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>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.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uic.edu/sph/glakes/kids/case1/about.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.uic.edu/sph/glakes/kids/case1/about.htm</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
