Acute phase response and inflammation following pulmonary exposure to low doses of zinc oxide nanoparticles in mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Inhalation of nanosized zinc oxide (ZnO) induces metal fume fever and systemic acute phase response in humans. Acute phase response activation is a cardiovascular risk factor; we investigated whether pulmonary exposure of ... -
The inhalable mycobiome of sawmill workers: Exposure characterization and diversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Exposure to fungal spores has been associated with respiratory symptoms and allergic alveolitis among sawmill workers, but the complexity of sawmill workers' fungal exposure has been poorly studied. We characterized the ... -
Exposure Determinants of Wood Dust, Microbial Components, Resin Acids and Terpenes in the Saw- and Planer Mill Industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives Sawmill workers have an increased risk of adverse respiratory outcomes, but knowledge about exposure–response relationships is incomplete. The objective of this study was to assess exposure determinants of dust, ... -
Workplace bullying, mental distress, and sickness absence. The protective role of social support
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose: This study examined the protective effects of supervisor, colleague, and non-work-related social support on the associations between workplace bullying, mental distress, and medically certified sickness absence. ... -
Effort‐reward imbalance at work and weight changes in anationwide cohort of workers in Denmark
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective To investigate the relation between effort‐reward imbalance (ERI) at work and subsequent weight changes. Methods We included participants from a population‐based cohort of workers in Denmark (mean age = 47 years, ... -
Risks of developing ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease in relation to silica dust exposure in Sweden: a case–control study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective To determine whether occupational exposure to silica dust causes an increased risk of developing Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Design Case–control study of CD (K50) and UC (K51) from 2007 ... -
Maternal exposure to psychosocial job strain during pregnancy and behavioral problems in the 11-year-old children. A Danish cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Maternal psychosocial stress may impact child neurodevelopment, but little is known regarding psychosocial job strain. We hypothesized high psychosocial job strain during pregnancy was associated with behavioural problems ... -
Office design as a risk factor for disability retirement: A prospective registry study of Norwegian employees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives This aim of this study was to (i) examine differences in risk of subsequent disability retirement between employees working in cellular, shared, and open-plan offices and (ii) determine the contribution of gender, ... -
Pulmonary effects of nanofibrillated celluloses in mice suggest that carboxylation lowers the inflammatory and acute phase responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We studied if the pulmonary and systemic toxicity of nanofibrillated celluloses can be reduced by carboxylation. Nanofibrillated celluloses administered at 6 or 18 μg to mice by intratracheal instillation were: 1) FINE ... -
Characterization of ultrafine particles emitted during laser-based additive manufacturing of metal parts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Particulate matter (PM) emitted during laser additive manufacturing with stainless steel powder materials has been studied in detail. Three different additive manufacturing techniques were studied: selective laser melting, ... -
Elemental Carbon and Nitrogen Dioxide as Markers of Exposure to Diesel Exhaust in Selected Norwegian Industries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Elemental carbon (EC) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in air as markers for diesel exhaust (DE) emission exposure were measured in selected work environments in Norway where diesel-powered engines are in use. Two hundred and ... -
Mechanical and psychosocial work exposures: the construction and evaluation of a gender-specific job exposure matrix (JEM)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives: The aim of this study was to (i) construct and evaluate a gender-specific job exposure matrix (JEM) for mechanical and psychosocial work exposures and (ii) test its predictive validity for low-back pain. Methods: ... -
The influence of multiple occupational exposures on absence from work in pregnancy: a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives Many women experience absence periods from work during pregnancy. Several single risk factors for absence are identified, whereas the impact of multiple concurrent exposures has been sparsely studied. We ... -
Predicting the outcome of persistent sciatica using conditioned pain modulation: 1-year results from a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background and aims Recovery in patients hospitalised with severe sciatica is unpredictable. Prognostic tools to aid clinicians in the early identification of patients at risk of developing chronic sciatic pain are warranted. ... -
