“…Moreover, for parameters associated with dermal contact (AF and ABS) and ingestion (CSF ingestion and IR) contributed 0.9%-3.4%, while for parameters associated with inhalation (HR and CSF inhalation ) there were almost no contribution. Similar results were also reported by Luo et al (2013), which could be explained by the fact that ingestion and dermal contact were the dominant exposure pathways, parameters associated with these two pathways contributed most to the total uncertainty.…”

“…The health risks for different professions may be different. Luo et al (2013) has revealed the great difference of health risk to demolition workers and general industrial workers when exposed to DDTs and dicofol. Secondly, people may be exposed to PAHs via different pathways, and food ingestion has been proved to be one of the most important exposure pathways (Yang et al, 2014).…”

“…Among industrial workers, micro adjustments of the fit of the EHMR may be permissible owing in part to a lower awareness of risk of self-contamination among industrial workers. [19][20][21][22][23] In the health care setting, with the risk of pathogenic exposure, micro adjustment of the seal is discouraged because touching the respirator may lead to selfcontamination.…”

Background: Elastomeric half-mask respirators (EHMR) reduce health care workers' exposure to airborne hazards including bioaerosols but have primarily been used in the industrial setting. Purpose: To assess health care workers' perceptions, attitudes, and experiences wearing EHMRs in a clinical environment. Methods: Employees within a single health care system who wore the EHMR continuously during their shift completed an investigator developed survey. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used. Results: Of the 8273 EHMR “fit-tested” eligible employees, 1478 met inclusion criteria and participated. Respondents reported that they felt well protected with the EHMR and confident in their care and maintenance of the EHMR. Although skin changes developed, they were primarily managed by adjusting the straps. Clarity of communication was a concern across all respondents and disciplines. Conclusions: The EHMR was preferred over reusing the N95 although clarity in communication was challenging.

“…Since its residues in the environment are persistent, [4][5][6] they can easily cause serious environmental pollution and even pose a threat to organisms in the environment including humans. [7][8][9][10] In recent years, many studies have shown that exposure to DIC in the environment or its residues in foods has severe toxic effects on various mammals and humans, especially on aquatic organisms. [11][12][13][14] To reduce hazards involving food safety and human health, the use of DIC on crops has been strictly limited.…”
