1. Traffic air pollution effect in the blood pressure of traffic agents in Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil / Efeito da poluição do tráfego na pressão arterial dos agentes de trânsito em Santo André
The constant exposition to air pollution continues to cause the populations health problems, and its result an increase of morbidity and mortality by respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This is a cross-sectional study which aims to assess the modifications in the systemic blood pressure and the pulse pressure in young male individuals, exposed to the tr

2. Pressur : o resgate da pesquisa em co-gestão sindical sobre pressão arterial elevada, surdez ocupacional e fatores de risco
A cross sectional epidemiological study with probabilistic random sample of Campinas bus drivers is presented with the following objectives: 1) to estimate prevalence of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL); 2) to verify the association between the cases of NIHL and hypertension; and also the possible association of NIHL with demographics, social-economics, smo

3. Occupational lead exposure and blood pressure.
Recent community studies have suggested that low level lead exposure is significantly associated with blood pressure in the general population. This finding is inconsistent with the results of recent occupational studies of lead exposed workers, although the occupational studies contained serious methodological weaknesses. The present study examined the rela

4. Risk factors in the genesis of sensorineural hearing loss in Finnish forestry workers.
A detailed analysis of risk factors for the development of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was carried out in 199 forest workers. The hearing threshold of both ears at 4000 Hz was measured, and the effect of age, exposure to noise, blood pressure, presence of vibration induced white finger (VWF), tobacco smoking, plasma LDL-cholesterol concentration, and c

5. Nephropathy in cadmium workers: assessment of risk from airborne occupational exposure to cadmium.
To assess the quantitative relation between exposure to airborne cadmium and various markers of renal tubular and glomerular function, 45 male workers employed at a plant that recovers cadmium from industrial waste and 32 male hospital workers of similar age and geographical location were examined. Cumulative external exposure to airborne cadmium (dose) was

6. Chest pain in rubber chemical workers exposed to carbon disulphide and methaemoglobin formers.
A cross sectional prevalence study of chest pain in 94 rubber chemical workers exposed to carbon disulphide (CS2) and methaemoglobin forming aromatic amines was carried out. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the prevalence of chest pain or coronary heart disease (CHD), or both, in exposed individuals exceeded that of a group of non-exposed in

7. Mortality of middle aged white South African gold miners.
A cohort of 3971 white miners in South Africa, born between 1 January 1916 and 31 December 1930 who were alive on 1 January 1970 and currently working in the East Rand-Central Rand-West Rand mining areas, was followed up for nine years, when the 3426 survivors were aged from 48 to 62. Fifteen (0.4%) had been lost to view and 530 had died (13.4% of the 3956 w
