Lung Cancer in Ever- and Never-Smokers: Findings from Multi-Population GWAS Studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background: Clinical, molecular, and genetic epidemiology studies displayed remarkable differences between ever- and never-smoking lung cancer. Methods: We conducted a stratified multi-population (European, East Asian, and ... -
New approach methodologies to enhance human health risk assessment of immunotoxic properties of chemicals — a PARC (Partnership for the Assessment of Risk from Chemicals) project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)As a complex system governing and interconnecting numerous functions within the human body, the immune system is unsurprisingly susceptible to the impact of toxic chemicals. Toxicants can influence the immune system through ... -
Exposure to fibres and risk of pleural mesothelioma in the Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers cohort
(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 ... -

Airborne trichloramine in indoor swimming pools in Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Trichloramine is a disinfection by-product in chlorinated swimming pools. It can evaporate into the air and irritate eyes and airways among swimmers and pool workers. This study aimed to evaluate airborne concentrations ... -
Measurements of dust and respirable crystalline silica during indoor demolition and renovation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Increased focus on renovating and maintaining the existing building stock is an integral part of the circular economy, however this might pose challenges to workers health. The aim of this study was to assess the renovation ... -
Symphony of Success: Leader-Practitioner Reciprocity during Evidence-Based Practice Implementation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This study aimed to explore the reciprocal relationships between implementation leadership and practitioner implementation citizenship behavior during the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs). Data were collected ... -
Particulate matter constituents trigger the formation of extracellular amyloid β and Tau -containing plaques and neurite shortening in vitro
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Air pollution is an environmental factor associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, characterized by decreased cognitive abilities and memory. The limited models ... -
Rapidly progressing scalp melanoma in an elderly patient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024) -
Bioinformatics and machine learning to support nanomaterial grouping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Nanomaterials (NMs) offer plenty of novel functionalities. Moreover, their physicochemical properties can be fine-tuned to meet the needs of specific applications, leading to virtually unlimited numbers of NM variants. ... -
Systematic review of mechanistic evidence for TiO2 nanoparticle-induced lung carcinogenicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Nano-sized titanium dioxide particles (TiO2 NPs) are a high-production volume nanomaterial widely used in the paints, cosmetics, food and photovoltaics industry. However, the potential carcinogenic effects of TiO2 NPs in ... -
Inflammation related to inhalation of nano and micron sized iron oxides: a systematic review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Inhalation exposure to iron oxide occurs in many workplaces and respirable aerosols occur during thermal processes (e.g. welding, casting) or during abrasion of iron and steel products (e.g. cutting, grinding, machining, ... -
Emotional dissonance and mental health among home-care workers: A nationwide prospective study of the moderating role of leadership behaviors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Objectives Evidence suggests that emotional dissonance, the imbalance between true feelings and those displayed to meet work standards, heightens the risk of mental distress. In nursing occupations, exerting such emotional ... -
Pro-inflammatory and genotoxic responses by metal oxide nanomaterials in alveolar epithelial cells and macrophages in submerged condition and air-liquid interface: An in vitro-in vivo correlation study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Studies on in vitro-in vivo correlations of inflammatory and genotoxic responses are needed to advance new approach methodologies. Here, we assessed pro-inflammatory and genotoxic responses by 13 nanosized metal oxides ... -
Occupational exposure limits for reproductive toxicants. A comparative analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)We investigated the level of protection of reproductive and developmental toxicity offered through occupational exposure limits (OELs) and Derived No-Effect Levels for workers’ inhalation exposure (wDNELs). We compared ... -
Effect of the Norwegian agreement on a more inclusive working life on use of sick leave and pregnancy benefits among pregnant women: a cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background We aimed to estimate the effect of the voluntary Norwegian Agreement on a More Inclusive Working Life (IA Agreement) on use of sickness absence (SA) and pregnancy benefits among pregnant women. Methods Pregnant ... -
Occupational exposures of firefighting and prostate cancer risk in the Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Objectives Excess incidence of prostate cancer (PC) is frequently observed among firefighters; however, the association with specific occupational exposures of firefighting, as well as the influence of a medical surveillance ... -
