Chloroform exposure in air and water in Swedish indoor swimming pools - urine as a biomarker of occupational exposure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction Disinfection by-products are produced in water disinfected with chlorine-based products. One such group is trihalomethanes, and chloroform is the most abundant trihalomethane in swimming pool areas. Chloroform ... -
The COVID-19 Pandemic Decreases Cardiorespiratory Fitness: A 3-Year Follow-Up Study in Industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: We aimed to determine if maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max), resting heart rate (RHR), and self-reported leisure- time moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) changed over a 3-year follow-up (FU) among ... -
Single-Walled vs. Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Influence of Physico-Chemical Properties on Toxicogenomics Responses in Mouse Lungs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are nanomaterials with one or multiple layers of carbon sheets. While it is suggested that various properties influence their toxicity, the ... -
Socioeconomic differences in working life expectancy: a scoping review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background In the last decade, interest in working life expectancy (WLE) and socioeconomic differences in WLE has grown considerably. However, a comprehensive overview of the socioeconomic differences in WLE is lacking. ... -
Bioaerosol-induced in vitro activation of toll-like receptors and inflammatory biomarker expression in waste workers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose Occupational exposure to bioaerosols during waste handling remains a health concern for exposed workers. However, exposure-related health effects and underlying immunological mechanisms are still poorly described. ... -
Simulated quick returns in a laboratory context and effects on sleep and pre-sleep arousal between shifts: a crossover controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This trial presents a laboratory model investigating the effect of quick returns (QRs, <11 h time off between shifts) on sleep and pre-sleep arousal. Using a crossover design, 63 participants worked a simulated QR condition ... -
Assessment of Occupational Exposure to Inhalable Aerosols in an Instant Powdered Food Manufacturing Plant in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background In the food manufacturing industry, exposure to inhalable aerosols contributes to respiratory illnesses such as occupational asthma and rhinitis. However, there is a lack of comprehensive exposure assessment ... -
A study of inflammatory biomarkers in crystalline silica exposed rock drillers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background Crystalline silica (CS) exposure can cause serious lung disease in humans, but mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity have not been completely elucidated. Aims To assess pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory biomarkers ... -
The association between proportion of night shifts and musculoskeletal pain and headaches in nurses: a cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background and purpose Shift work is associated with musculoskeletal pain and headaches, but little is known about how the intensity of shift work exposure is related to musculoskeletal pain and headaches. This study aimed ... -
Effects on blood parameters from hand-arm vibrations exposure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vibration exposure from handheld tools can affect the hands with neurological symptoms and vibration-induced Raynaud’s phenomenon (VRP). The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully known, however, changes ... -
