  • Occupational Exposure to Poorly Soluble Low Toxicity Particles and Cardiac Disease: A Look at Carbon Black and Titanium Dioxide

    Open AccessRobert J McCunney, Mei Yong et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Environmental particulate exposure and the potential risk to people with various types of cardiac diseases, most notably cardiovascular disease, have aroused scientific and regulatory interest worldwide. Epidemiological studies have shown associations between exposure to airborne environmental particulate matter (PM) and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The associations reported, however, are complex and may not involve a direct role …

  • Extended Investigation of Exposure to Respirable Synthetic Amorphous Silica Dust and Its Potential Impact on Non-malignant Respiratory Morbidity

    Open AccessMei Yong, Peter Morfeld et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Objectives The present analysis aims to study the health impact of an occupational exposure to respirable synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) dusts, based on the available data from the German study. Methods The effect of cumulative exposure to respirable SAS dust on respiratory morbidity were investigated in 462 exposed male workers. Multiple exposure assessments was performed anchored by a most recent measurement series. Internal regression models…

  • Covid-19: Heterogeneous Excess Mortality and “Burden of Disease” in Germany and Italy and Their States and Regions, January–June 2020

    Open AccessG Hugo Tucker, Peter Morfeld et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Total mortality and “burden of disease” in Germany and Italy and their states and regions were explored during the first COVID-19 wave by using publicly available data for 16 German states and 20 Italian regions from January 2016 to June 2020. Based on expectations from 2016 to 2019, simplified Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) for deaths occurring in the first half of 2020 and the effect of changed excess mortality in terms of “burden of dise…

  • Change of Exposure Response over Time and Long-Term Risk of Silicosis among a Cohort of Chinese Pottery Workers

    Open AccessYi Sun, Frank Bochmann et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2011

    An analysis was conducted on a cohort of Chinese pottery workers to estimate the exposure-response relationship between respirable crystalline silica dust exposure and the incidence of radiographically diagnosed silicosis, and to estimate the long-term risk of developing silicosis until the age of 65. The cohort comprised 3,250 employees with a median follow-up duration of around 37 years. Incident cases of silicosis were identified via silicosis…
