Olfactory function in workers exposed to styrene in the reinforced-plastics industry
Pamela Dalton,Beverly J. Cowart,Daniel D. Dilks,Michele Gould,Peter S.J. Lees,Aleksandr B. Stefaniak,Edward A. Emmett +6 more
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that at these concentrations, styrene is not an olfactory toxicant in humans, and anatomical differences between rodent and human airways and the lack of evidence for styrene metabolism in human nasal tissue strongly suggest this.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for dermal absorption as the major route of body entry during exposure of transformer maintenance and repairmen to PCBs
TL;DR: Evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that the dermal and dermal/oral routes of worker PCB exposure are major contributors to total PCB body burden in the group of transformer maintenance and repair personnel studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formaldehyde Exposure and Mortality Risks From Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Other Lymphohematopoietic Malignancies in the US National Cancer Institute Cohort Study of Workers in Formaldehyde Industries
Harvey Checkoway,Linda D. Dell,Paolo Boffetta,Alexa E. Gallagher,Lori Crawford,Peter S.J. Lees,Kenneth A. Mundt +6 more
TL;DR: Findings from this re-analysis do not support the hypothesis that formaldehyde is a cause of AML, and any causal interpretations of the observed risk patterns are at most tentative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a method to detect and quantify Aspergillus fumigatus conidia by quantitative PCR for environmental air samples
TL;DR: This method provides a means of analyzing long term air samples collected on filters which may enable investigators to correlate airborne environmental A. fumigatus conidia concentrations with adverse health effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the retention of dust mite allergen on carpet
Roger D. Lewis,Patrick N. Breysse,Peter S.J. Lees,M. Diener-West,R.G. Hamilton,Peyton A. Eggleston +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated factors that affect the retention of dust mite allergens on different types of tufted carpet commonly found in homes and offices, including fiber denier, cross-sectional shape, presence of fluorocarbon treatment, carpet style, pile height, and pile density.
