“…The results of the study stated that blood pressure increases accompanied by an increase in the concentration of CO gas. The presence of vasodilation of CO gas and the results of animal studies support the finding that exposure to CO gas can cause a decrease in blood pressure (8).…”

Introduction: The characteristics of CO gas are that it has no color, odor, and taste resulting from incomplete combustion, which accounts for 70% of motorized vehicle-related air pollution. Terminal traders are among those who are vulnerable to pollution caused by motorized vehicles. The study's goal was to determine the environmental health risk analysis of CO gas exposure to traders at Yogyakarta's Giwangan Terminal. Methods: This study was quantitative using a cross-sectional design study with the Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) approach. This study used purposive sampling technique. The population was traders, with a sample of 51 respondents. The research instrument is a questionnaire. The Chi-square test was used to measure the bivariate analysis data. Results and Discussion: The average concentration of CO gas was 0.9523 mg/m³, exposure duration was 12.1 hours/day, exposure frequency was 339.94 days/year, exposure duration was 11.96 years, and inhalation rate was 4.1 m³/o'clock. The highest abnormal blood pressure was 40 respondents. Real-time intake min. 0.0184 mg/kg/day, max. 3.0919 mg/kg/day (arrival), real-time intake min. 0.0190 mg/kg/day, max. 3.2021 mg/kg/day (departure). A total of 43 traders had a risk quotient (RQ) > 1. Conclusion: There was a relationship between the intake and the RQ of CO gas exposure but no relationship between blood pressure and the RQ due to CO gas exposure to traders at the Giwangan Terminal, Yogyakarta.

“…HbCO levels > 2% can cause STsegment changes and decreased time to angina. [19][20][21] In our study, all five surgical smoke exposure groups had HbCO levels higher than 2.5%. This finding indicates that staying in the HCZ and LCZ in the operating room is harmful to surgeons.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the content of surgical smoke in the operating room, and the health effects of exposure to surgical smoke on surgeons.MethodsWe measured the content of surgical smoke in the operating room. The effect of exposure to surgical smoke on surgeons was examined using rabbits. Surgical smoke distribution was simulated to study the route of spread of surgical smoke. The effect of an evacuator was also evaluated.ResultsIn the operating room during electrosurgery, there was a high-content zone of surgical smoke (1.5 × 10−2%, carbon monoxide; 3.0 × 10−2%, carbon dioxide). In rabbit experiments, all groups that were exposed to surgical smoke showed significantly higher carboxyhemoglobin levels than did controls. Exposure to a high content of surgical smoke had a greater effect on blood indices than working continuously in the operating room.ConclusionsDuring electro-laparotomy, carbon monoxide in the high-content and low-content zones is higher than the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s limit. Carboxyhemoglobin levels may be > 10% with continuous operations over a week in the high-content zone in the operating room. Even with an evacuator, surgeons’ blood indices can still be affected by surgical smoke.

“…Thus, the analysis of the scientific studies makes it possible to specify three potential consequences of that effect negative emotions, deterioration of the physical and psychical state of a human health [ 2 , 7 ]. As a result, there may be different cardiovascular pathologies, neuropsychic disorders [ 8 , 9 ], problems with the sense of hearing [ 10 ], feeling of constant fatigue [ 11 ], carbon monoxide poisoning, and development of allergic and oncologic diseases [ 7 , 12 ].…”

Background The working conditions of bus drivers are difficult; they lead to occupational diseases and require careful study, particularly in Ukraine. The objective of the article is the description of occupational health risks of passenger bus drivers that lead to deteriorating health. Methods The risk assessment was performed using a modified Risk Score method, which allowed determining the generalized level of danger to the driver's health. The hygienic hazards level was assessed as based on Stevenson's law, which was generalized later. Results Based on the modification of the Risk Score method, it was possible to depart from expert assessments method of the risk level and calculate the general indicator based on the degree of dependence of the impact on the human body on its intensity, proposed by V. Minko. This allows objective determining of the impact of hygiene hazards on the health of the driver and to predict the occurrence of occupational diseases associated with the cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, and partial or complete disability due to the accumulation of emotional fatigue. The hazard assessment was carried out for three brands of passenger buses common in Ukraine, in which the driver is exposed to the dangers of fever, vibration, noise, harmful impurities in the bus cabin, and emotional load. Conclusion The health of drivers in the cabins of passenger buses is most affected by hygiene hazards: fever, vibration, and emotional stress. The generalized level of risk is calculated by the modified method of Risk Score is 0.83; −0.99, −0.92 respectively.
