Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of occupational exposures to cleaning products used for common cleaning tasks-a pilot study of hospital cleaners
Anila Bello,Anila Bello,Margaret M. Quinn,Melissa J. Perry,Donald K. Milton,Donald K. Milton +5 more
TL;DR: Cleaning products are mixtures of many chemical ingredients that may impact workers' health through air and dermal exposures, and a combination of product evaluation with workplace exposure assessment is critical in developing strategies for protecting workers from cleaning hazards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Assessment of Airborne Exposures Generated during Common Cleaning Tasks: A Pilot Study
Anila Bello,Anila Bello,Margaret M. Quinn,Melissa J. Perry,Donald K. Milton,Donald K. Milton,Donald K. Milton +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that airborne exposures from short-term cleaning tasks can remain in the air even after tasks' cessation, suggesting potential exposures to anyone entering the room shortly after cleaning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to organophosphate flame retardants in spray polyurethane foam applicators: Role of dermal exposure
TL;DR: High levels of urinary biomarkers for TCIPP among SPF applicators, including post-shift, points to absorption of TCIPP during the work shift, in spite of the use of best industry exposure control practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic upper airway inflammation and systemic oxidative stress from nanoparticles in photocopier operators: Mechanistic insights
Madhu Khatri,Dhimiter Bello,Dhimiter Bello,John Martin,Anila Bello,Rebecca Gore,Philip Demokritou,Peter Gaines +7 more
TL;DR: Chronic upper airway inflammation and systemic oxidative stress were documented in photocopier operators chronically exposed to nanoparticles, and call for an industry-wide study of the health effects resulting from exposure to printer-emitted particles in chronically exposed workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollution Prevention—Occupational Safety and Health in Hospitals: Alternatives and Interventions
TL;DR: The P2OSH method shifts the focus of occupational and environmental hygiene from hazard control to substitution, and the alternatives generally were beneficial, although each had limitations that resulted in process and task changes with potentially negative P2 and/or OSH impacts.
