Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide baseline data for the assessment of exposure to indium and to prevent adverse health effects among workers engaged in the electronics and related industries in Republic of Korea.

Methods: Total (n = 369) and respirable (n = 384) indium concentrations were monitored using personal air sampling in workers at the following 19 workplaces: six sputtering target manufacturing companies, four manufacturing companies of panel displays, two companies engaged in cleaning of sputtering components, two companies dedicated to the cleaning of sputtering target, and five indium recycling companies.

Results: The level of exposure to total indium ranged from 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how physical hazards in the work environment affect the heart rate of taxi drivers while driving.
  • The research involved 13 male taxi drivers whose heart rates were monitored during a 6-hour driving session in Los Angeles, revealing modest elevations above typical resting heart rates.
  • Despite some individual variations, overall findings suggest that the physical worksite hazards had a minor impact on their heart rate, highlighting the need for further research that includes psychosocial stressors as well.

This paper presents a summary of arsenic level statistics from air and wipe samples taken from studies conducted in fabrication operations. The main objectives of this study were not only to describe arsenic measurement data but also, through a literature review, to categorize fabrication workers in accordance with observed arsenic levels. All airborne arsenic measurements reported were included in the summary statistics for analysis of the measurement data.
