Article Synopsis
- The Exposome Project aims to explore how various occupational exposures affect health, focusing on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) to set research priorities.
- A narrative review was conducted to analyze occupational risk factors linked to six NCD groups, identifying over 200 exposures with varying levels of evidence regarding their health associations.
- Key findings indicate that certain exposures like diesel engine exhaust have consistent links to lung cancer, while others require more research to better understand their impact on health.
Purpose: To study the risk for eye diseases in individuals with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and to assess whether silica dust-exposure could contribute to the development of inflammatory eye diseases.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted using a patient register processed by the National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW) and Statistics Sweden. Cases were diagnosed with UC between 2007 and 2016.
Objectives: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is classified as a human carcinogen. Occupational Cr(VI) exposure can occur during different work processes, but the current exposure to Cr(VI) at Swedish workplaces is unknown.
Methods: This cross-sectional study (SafeChrom) recruited non-smoking men and women from 14 companies with potential Cr(VI) exposure (n = 113) and controls from 6 companies without Cr(VI) exposure (n = 72).
Background: Cancer risks in the offspring of mothers and fathers exposed to metals are unknown. We estimated the relative risks of childhood cancer, overall and by type, associated with parental occupational exposure to arsenic, cadmium, chromium, nickel, and lead.
Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study (1960-2015) of children born in Sweden aged 0-19 years diagnosed with cancer (National Cancer Register) matched 25:1 to controls on birth year and sex.
Objectives: Occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is common. The study aimed to assess the risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after long-term exposure to RCS and to explore differences in risk between men and women.
Methods: The cohort included all manual workers identified from the Swedish National Census in 1980 using data on job titles and demography altogether from five censuses from 1960 to 1990, in total 605 246 men and 480 607 women.
