Olfactory function in workers exposed to styrene in the reinforced-plastics industry

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

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

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.
