5. Exposição ocupacional a poeiras em marmorarias: tamanhos de partículas caracteristicos
The main occupational hazards found in workplaces include dust exposure, facilitating the increase of respiratory diseases, of which silicosis is the most important. Due to the importance and gravity of the occupational exposure to dust and to the high number of workers exposed, the aim of this paper was to study the characteristics of this exposure in the o

6. Occupational exposures estimated by means of job exposure matrices in relation to lung function in the PAARC survey.
OBJECTIVES--The aim of this analysis of the French Cooperative PAARC (Pollution Atmosphérique et Affections Respiratoires Chroniques) survey, was to test whether occupational exposures to dusts, gases, or chemical fumes or to specific hazards, estimated by job exposure matrices, were related to a decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1).

7. Occupational exposure to hydrazine and subsequent risk of cancer.
Four hundred and twenty seven men with varying degrees of occupational exposure to hydrazine, a weak animal carcinogen, were studied to see if they provided any evidence of carcinogenicity to man. The observed mortality was close to that expected for lung cancer, other cancers, and all other causes, irrespective of the level of exposure. There were 49 deaths

12. Ventilatory function after exposure to various respirable hazards in a population of former coal miners.
The ventilatory function of 406 male former coal miners who had presented at the Cook County Hospital occupational medicine clinic between January 1976 and April 1987 was studied to determine whether subsequent exposure to respiratory hazards after leaving the coal mines adversely affected lung function. The miners were divided into five exposure groups base
