Identifying the sources of mercury exposure in dental workers.
Occup Med (Lond)
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand.
Dental professionals who handle dental amalgam are at risk of mercury exposure, though the prevalence and severity of elevated mercury levels from non-occupational sources are not well characterized. We report two dental workers who had elevated urinary mercury levels (37 and 25.6 mcg/L) during routine health screenings.

Gradient, One Beacon St, 17th Floor, Boston, MA 02108, United States.
Objectives: To date there has been little observational evidence on the relationship between air lead and blood lead at relatively low workplace air lead concentrations. This study sought to improve upon prior studies methodologically and aimed to examine this relationship in a modern workplace environment.
Methods: Personal measurements of air lead and blood lead concentrations were collected in a modern lead-acid battery manufacturing facility in the United States.
Asbestos Burden in Lungs of Subjects Deceased From Mesothelioma Who Lived in Proximity to an Asbestos Factory: A Topographic Post-Mortem SEM-EDS Study.

Institute for Translational Epidemiology and Tisch Cancer Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, USA.
Background: Asbestos exposure and its pathological consequences, especially malignant mesothelioma (MM) still represent a major public health problem on a global scale. After the ban of asbestos in most western countries, nonoccupational exposure plays an essential role in MM pathogenesis. However, few studies have quantified asbestos lung burden after environmental exposure.

Toxics
November 2024
School of Public Health, Ningxia Medical University, Yinchuan 750004, China.
Background: The primary flame retardants in vehicles, organophosphates (OPEs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), volatilize and accumulate in the enclosed vehicle environment, posing potential health risks. Amidst the rising number of vehicles, the scrutiny of persistent organic pollutants like OPEs and PBDEs in vehicles is increasing. This study investigates occupational and nonoccupational population exposure to specific OPEs (TnBP, TBOEP, TEHP, TCEP, TCiPP, TDCiPP, TPhP, EHDPP) and PBDEs (BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-153, BDE-154, BDE-183, BDE-209) in vehicle dust.

Exposure to rare earth elements (REY) in the environment can lead to adverse effects on human health. Industrial activities unintentionally produce fly ash, and a small fraction of fly ash that remains uncaptured by air pollution control devices can enter the atmosphere and contribute as a primary source of airborne fine particle matter (PM). The occurrence of REY in industrial sourced fine PM affects the environment and human health.
