This paper presents the findings from a collaborative interlaboratory comparison exercise designed to assess oxidative potential (OP) measurements conducted by 20 laboratories worldwide. This study represents an innovative effort as the…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are increasingly being used in industrial applications, but their toxicological data in animals and humans are still rare. To understand the effects of CNTs, their quantification in tissues, especially lungs, is crucial…

The aim of this article is to present an overview of endotoxin concentration levels recorded over more than eleven years in various sectors of activity in France. The use of these exposure levels helps to support the two endotoxin guideline values…

Assessing chemical risks at the workplace can include a chemicals measurement step whose aim is to assess the exposures of the workers. In order to perform exposure diagnostic assessments that are representative of the risks, the measurements…

Agriculture is considered one of the occupations most at risk of acute or chronic respiratory problems. The aim of our study was to determine from which level of exposure to organic dust the respiratory function is chronically affected…

Introduction 1 Over the past 50 years, the prevalence of allergic respiratory diseases has been increasing. The Hygiene hypothesis explains this progression by the decrease in the bio-diversity of early microbial exposure. This study aims…

This work is part of a larger work whose aim is to develop a model for prediction of the service life of cartridge for personal protection in various conditions. The model is based on coupled mass and heat transfer equations. The mass transfer at…
