Dean; Samuelsen, Sven Ove; Bråtveit, Magne; Kirkeleit, Jorunn; Rothman, Nathaniel; Lan, Qing; Silverman, Debra T.; Friesen, Melissa C.; Shala, Nita Kaupang; Grimsrud, Tom Kristian; Stenehjem, Jo Steinson (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Objective The objective of our study was to examine whether occupational exposure to benzene is associated with lung cancer among males in the Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers cohort. Methods Among 25 347 male offshore ...
    • Effects of the combined exposure to chemicals and unusual working hours 

      Lie, Jenny-Anne Sigstad; Zienolddiny-Narui, Shan; Bråtveit, Magne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Objective Both exposure to occupational chemicals and to unusual working hours have well documented effects on health. Determination of occupational exposure limits is, however, usually based on chemical-only exposure and ...
    • Exposure to benzene and other hydrocarbons and risk of bladder cancer among male offshore petroleum workers 

      Shala, Nita Kaupang; Stenehjem, Jo; Babigumira, Ronnie; Liu, Fei-Chih; Berge, Leon Alexander Mclaren; Silverman, Debra T.; Friesen, Melissa C.; Rothman, Nathaniel; Lan, Qing; Hosgood, H.

      Background Occupational exposures constitute the second leading cause of urinary bladder cancer after tobacco smoking. Increased risks have been found in the petroleum industry, but high-quality exposure data are needed ...
    • Exposure to fibres and risk of pleural mesothelioma in the Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers cohort 

      Berge, Leon Alexander Mclaren; Shala, Nita Kaupang; Barone-Adesi, Francesco; Hosgood, H Dean; Samuelsen, Sven Ove; Bråtveit, Magne; Kirkeleit, Jorunn; Silverman, Debra; Friesen, Melissa C.; Babigumira, Ronnie; Grimsrud, Tom Kristian; Veierød, Marit Bragelien; Stenehjem, Jo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Objectives Pleural mesothelioma is a rare respiratory cancer, mainly caused by inhalation of asbestos fibres. Other inorganic fibres are also suggested risk factors. We aimed to investigate the association between exposure ...

    • Hand-arm vibration exposure in rock drill workers. A comparison between measurements with hand-attached and tool-attached accelerometers 

      Clemm, Thomas; Nordby, Karl-Christian; Lunde, Lars-Kristian; Ulvestad, Bente; Bråtveit, Magne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Objectives To assess the hazard of tool vibrations, we need valid exposure measurements. The use of hand-attached accelerometers (vibration sensors) to measure hand-arm vibrations (HAVs) has become a popular approach. ...
