During responses to outbreaks, the collection and analysis of data on employed case patients' industry and occupation are necessary to better understand the relationship between work and health outcomes. The occurrence of mpox by occupation and industry has not previously been assessed in the context of the 2022 outbreak. We analyzed employment data from 2548 mpox cases reported to the U.

Methods: This study used data from the US Medical Expenditure Panel Survey for 2008-2021. Multivariable generalized estimating equations were used to measure associations between employment precarity (operationalized as a multi-dimensional exposure) and self-rated mental health after adjusting for relevant confounders.
The adoption of innovative advanced materials holds vast potential, contingent upon addressing safety and sustainability concerns. The European Commission advocates the integration of Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) principles early in the innovation process to streamline market introduction and mitigate costs. Within this framework, encompassing ecological, social, and economic factors is paramount.

- The study focuses on COVID-19 mitigation measures in workplaces where U.S. blood donors are employed, analyzing how these measures differ by industry and work arrangement.
- Data was collected from over 53,000 respondents between May and December 2021, revealing varied implementation of measures like ventilation upgrades (20% overall), telework access (53% overall), and mask requirements (84% overall), with fewer measures reported by independent workers.
- The findings suggest that mitigation strategies should be customized for specific industries and job types, as a uniform approach may not effectively address unique workplace challenges related to disease transmission.
The past few decades of managing the uncertain risks associated with nanomaterials have provided valuable insights (knowledge gaps, tools, methods, etc.) that are equally important to promote safe and sustainable development and use of advanced materials. Based on these insights, the current paper proposes several actions to optimize the risk and sustainability governance of advanced materials.
