This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ionizing radiation and its sources are used every day in medical, industrial and governmental facilities around the world. Although some health risks from ionizing radiation exposures are widely recognized, the association of these exposures to specific diseases, especially various types of cancer, remains uncertain. Workers at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities have produced nuclear weapons, provided nuclear fuel materials for power reactors, and conducted a wide spectrum of research related to nuclear safety and other scientific issues. While completing this work, many of the employees have been exposed to ionizing radiation and other potentially hazardous materials. Since 1991, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has conducted analytical epidemiologic studies of workers at DOE nuclear facilities, through a Memorandum of Understanding between the DOE and the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services (DHHS). The agreement occurred in response to recommendations to the Secretary of Energy in 1989 by the independent Secretarial Panel for the Evaluation of Epidemiologic Research Activities (SPEERA). This technical report, entitled An Epidemiologic Study of Mortality and Radiation Risk of Cancer Among Workers at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy Facility, is one several products of the NIOSH Occupational Energy Research Program that are being published as a series. Most of these studies include detailed historical exposure assessments for radiation and other potentially hazardous agents so the health risks at different levels of exposure can be accurately estimated. Each of these studies contributes to the knowledge required to ensure that workers are adequately protected from chronic disease over their working lifetimes. The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) is a large U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facility near Idaho Falls, Idaho. Since its construction in 1949 the INEEL has conducted a wide variety of activities, including engineering and basic scientific research, nuclear reactor design and testing, nuclear material chemical processing, and the construction, servicing and demolition of large-scale facilities. In addition, the U.S. Navy maintains its Naval Reactors Facility (NRF) at the INEEL, where research and testing of Navy ship reactors occurs, as well as training of military and civilian personnel involved in the naval nuclear surface ship and submarine program. An epidemiologic cohort mortality study was initiated to evaluate hazards associated with ionizing radiation and other exposures among civilian employees at the INEEL facility.

Download or read book Occupational Exposure to Titanium Dioxide written by Department of Health and Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Public Law 91–596) is to assure safe and healthful working conditions for every working person and to preserve our human resources. In this Act, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is charged with recommending occupational safety and health standards and describing exposures that are safe for various periods of employment, including (but not limited to) the exposures at which no worker will suffer diminished health, functional capacity, or life expectancy as a result of his or her work experience. Current Intelligence Bulletins (CIBs) are issued by NIOSH to disseminate new scientific information about occupational hazards. A CIB may draw attention to a formerly unrecognized hazard, report new data on a known hazard, or disseminate information about hazard control. CIBs are distributed to representatives of academia, industry, organized labor, public health agencies, and public interest groups as well as to federal agencies responsible for ensuring the safety and health of workers. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), an insoluble white powder, is used extensively in many commercial products, including paint, cosmetics, plastics, paper, and food, as an anticaking or whitening agent. It is produced and used in the workplace in varying particle-size fractions, including fine and ultrafine sizes. The number of U.S. workers currently exposed to TiO2 dust is unknown. This NIOSH CIB, based on our assessment of the current available scientific information about this widely used material, (1) reviews the animal and human data relevant to assessing the carcinogenicity and other adverse health effects of TiO2, (2) provides a quantitative risk assessment using dose-response information from the rat and human lung dosimetry modeling and recommended occupational exposure limits for fine and ultrafine (including engineered nanoscale) TiO2, and (3) describes exposure monitoring techniques, exposure control strategies, and research needs. This report only addresses occupational exposures by inhalation, and conclusions derived here should not be inferred to pertain to nonoccupational exposures.

This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

Download or read book Evaluation of Exposure to Optical Radiation Used in Diagnostic and Treatment in Medicine and Dentistry written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of optical radiation exposure from devices used for medical diagnostic and treatment is a relatively unexplored area. A total of five medical clinics that used optical radiation for medical diagnostic and treatment purposes were studied. The main instrument used to measure optical radiation was a Model IL 1400A radiometer/photometer using either a UV Actinic Hazard Detector Model SEL240/T2ACTS or a Blue Light Hazard Detector Model SEL033/TBLU/SCS395/R. A Davis Instrument Extech meter was used to measure visible light. The study suggested that exposure to UV radiation for the sites measured was within the limits of the criteria recommended by ACGIH TLV. It was also found that none of the workers had any formal training in the safe use of the radiation sources tested in this study.
