Background: In addition to the well-known risk factors of diabetes, evidence is accumulating on the negative role of environmental and occupational factors such as noise exposure. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between long-term occupational noise exposure and diabetes.

Methods: We systematically searched evidence in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (until August 2022) according to the PRISMA protocol.

Background: The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures is expected to increase with the aging of the population in the coming decades. In this study, we systematically reviewed the evidence on the association between exposure to air pollution and osteoporosis-related outcomes.

Methods: We systematically searched evidence according to the PRISMA on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (until August 2022).

Purpose Of Review: We systematically summarized and evaluated evidence on association between traffic noise exposure and indicators of neurodevelopmental and mental health problems.

Recent Findings: Twelve studies on 10 unique populations were reviewed. Different outcomes, mostly measured by the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and its subscales, were reported.

Background: The prevalence of diabetes is on rise worldwide and environmental factors are being increasingly recognized to be involved in this rise. An emerging body of evidence has evaluated the impact of long-term exposure to noise on diabetes mellitus, highlighting the need to synthesize this evidence.

Objectives: To systematically review and conduct meta-analysis of the available evidence on the association between long-term exposure to transport and occupational noise exposure and diabetes mellitus.

Background: Unintended occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs (ANDs) may occur in medical personnel. Some ANDs are known human carcinogens and exposure can be monitored by genotoxic biomarkers.

Objective: To evaluate the obstacles to obtaining conclusive results from a comet assay test to determine DNA damage among AND exposed healthcare workers.

Background: Welders exposure to nickel and hexavalent chromium in welding fumes is associated with increase of cancer risk in welders. In this study we calculated cancer risk due to exposure to these compounds in welders.

Methods: The role of exposure parameters in welders on derived incremental lifetime cancer risk were determined by stochastic modeling of cancer risk.

This cross-sectional study examined the occupational cancer risk perception among 269 Iranian industrial workers according to their knowledge, job titles hazard, and demographical properties. The structured questionnaire was used to measure participants' knowledge and perception toward occupational cancers (reliability of the perception questions = .72).
