Les mycotoxines font l'objet d'une surveillance très attentive pour la sécurité des consommateurs mais leur dangerosité justifie également que les expositions professionnelles soient évaluées lorsque des salariés manipulent des denrées ou matériaux…

Taking into account noise disturbance within office space construction and planning is now a major objective for the experts who participate to international standardization groups. In 2012, the international standard ISO 3382-3, specifying…

Noting that a new version of the cup was now commercialised and the assumption that the use of viscous liquids, not evaporating, could increase the sampling duration and modify the physical performances, the objective of this work was to characterize…

Rationale: Compost workers have more airway irritation symptoms and increased inflammation markers than non-exposed workers. We studied which activities and processed wastes are involved.
Methods: 90 compost workers were followed-up for…

With the aim of addressing the SME’s population, INRS (National Research Institute for Safety and Health) developed an online tool called MAVImplant, dedicated to the design of virtual workplace mockups. The SME’s strategy draws on the idea of proposing…

Notwithstanding potential neurotoxicity of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs), the toxicokinetics and consequences on blood brain barrier (BBB) functions remain poorly characterized. We previously described the biodistribution…

Phthalates are economically important products with the most used for the tonnage implemented annually in the European Union can exceed 500,000 tons. They are used as plasticizers for plastics to make them more flexible, mainly in the polyvinyl…

In 2014, French ministries were alerted by local authorities following the identification of naturally occurring actinolite in aggregates used in road paving. In the environment, actinolite, as well as others amphiboles, are present in both…

Since open plan office users often complain of annoyance due to noise, it is critical to consider acoustic quality when designing such a workspace. This can be achieved with acoustic simulation methods, however, it is often difficult to obtain…

Although workers may be exposed to chromium metal, Cr(III) compounds, and Cr(VI) compounds at workplace, only Cr(VI) compounds are of primary concern in terms of possible hazards. Medical surveillance and biomonitoring can help to protect workers…
