Assessing the exposure of workers to semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) aerosols generally involves sampling an unstable diphasic chemical agent on a filter and a sorbent in series. Experiments at a macroscopic scale demonstrated that…

Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) are known for their toxicity. They can be found in the atmosphere of outdoor and indoor environments. Long exposure to these volatile compounds may have dangerous impacts on human health.
The aim of this work is to…

Beryllium occurrence in occupational areas is a major concern as low-level exposure could lead to development of beryllium sensitization (BeS) and of a chronic beryllium disease (CBD), a long latency granulomatous disorder that primarily affects…

Beryllium exposure is known to seriously affect health, and even very low levels of exposure may be toxic. It is therefore essential that biological or air-monitoring strategies adopted in the workplace are reliable and accurate over a range…

Thermal spraying (TS) is a surface treatment process, which enables different types of material (metals, metal alloys, ceramics and even plastics) to be deposited on various substrates. The coating product, in wire or powder form, is melted by a heat…

If the potential health risks to animals and humans posed by food- and feedborne mycotoxin intoxication have been largely recognized[1]…… the hazard for the workers posed by airborne mycotoxins are less well-known ! However, these dangerous substances…

In the French construction sector, almost one million workers are potentially exposed to the risk of inhaling asbestos fibres. However, knowledge of the exposures and follow-up of these populations remain poor considering the small size of…

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…

Sampling on filters is the most widely used method in the literature for airborne endotoxins measurements (Duquenne et al., 2013). The protocols used involve the analysis of endotoxins collected only on the filters following elution. However, several…
