Oxidative Stress Assessment of Noise Exposure in the Workers Using Hearing Protection in a Pressing Industry.

Background And Objective: Exposure to noise by generation of free radicals causes oxidative stress in body. The aim of this study was the evaluation of oxidative stress in workers who have used hearing protection devices during working time.

Material And Method: Pressing workers (n=24) of a home appliance industry were studied using hearing protection devices to reduce noise exposure.

Para-occupational exposure to chemical substances: a systematic review.

Today, many health problems related to work have overshadowed workers and their families. In the meantime, chemicals are among the risk factors that have created many problems due to para-occupational exposure. In para-occupational exposures, family members are exposed to work pollutants transferred to the home environment.

Application of a novel exposure limit approach for co-exposure of ‎chemicals: a field study by in-vitro design.

This study has suggested an occupational exposure limit (OEL) based on the co-exposure approach in an iron-foundry industry. Respirable dust was collected in an iron casting industry using the NIOSH 0600 method. The DNA damage was obtained by comet assay.
