“…To reduce the risk of dehydration in workers, it is important to implement education programs concerning adequate fluid intake at work and at home [11,24,29,50]. It was shown that rigid rules concerning fluid intake that are the same for all individuals might not prevent dehydration in workers [51].…”

“…Until now, serum/plasma osmolality was considered the gold standard for hydration status assessment [8,18,19], although its usefulness is increasingly being questioned [20,21]. In studies conducted among physical workers, the hydration status is often estimated based on urine-specific gravity [14,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, this method also has disadvantages, including the need to use specialized equipment and employing highly experienced operators [17].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different seasons of the year and the time of day (before work vs. after work) on hydration status in men. The study involved sixty foresters who spent most of the work outdoors. During three seasons of the year (summer, autumn, and winter), indices of hydration status (body mass (BM) and percentage change of BM, total body water (TBW) and percentage change of TBW, serum osmolality (Sosm) and percentage change of Sosm, urine osmolality, urine-specific gravity (USG), urine color, and thirst) were determined before work on the first day (time point 1 used as baseline), immediately after work on the first day (time point 2), and before work on the following day (time point 3). USG decreased at time point 2 compared to time point 1 (p < 0.001) and time point 3 (p = 0.03). At time point 2 (p = 0.002) in winter and time point 3 in autumn (p = 0.049), serum osmolality was higher than in summer. In conclusion, the differences in hydration status depended on the time of day and season. A large percentage of foresters come to work inadequately hydrated, especially in colder seasons compared to summer.

“…Besides, dehydration is an important health risk for mine workers (Polkinghorne et al, 2013), which can also end up taxing the workers' urethra and kidneys (Edwin et al, 2019). In this study, the presence of K. pneumonia (Daca et al, 2021;Lorenzo-Gomez et al, 2021), Proteus Vulgaris (Lorenzo-Gomez et al, 2021, S. Marcescens (Jimenez-Guerra et al, 2020) and S. saccharolyticus (Loes et al, 2014) in dust in this study area also increased the risk of urethral disease among workers.…”

Coal mine dust is an important factor leading to occupational diseases of mine workers, however, it remains poorly understood about the non-viral pathogens in coal mine dust. In this study, bacterial communities in total dust and respirable dust from different laneways in Hongliulin coal mine (Shaanxi, China) were analyzed by PacBio high-throughput sequencing. The results showed no significant differences in the number, diversity and structure of bacterial communities in different laneways. Gammaproteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria were the numerically dominant groups in dust samples which accounted for 72.5% of the total sequences. Among them, a total of seven known bacterial pathogens species including Aeromonas hydrophila, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saccharolyticus and two bacterial genera (Actinomyces and Peptostreptococcus) with extensive pathogenicity were detected in the respirable dust samples. And linear discriminant analysis indicated that prominent pathogens were detected in the respirable dust for the return laneway and the digging tunnel, such as K. pneumoniae and S. saccharolyticus in return laneway and B. cenocepacia in the digging tunnel. In parallel, PICRUST2 was performed to predict the functions in dust, and the human diseases count accounted for 4.31% of the total predictive function. In addition, the predictive count of human diseases in the respirable dust was closely related to bacterial diversity and structure. In summary, this study complemented the information of pathogenic bacteria in dust, especially in respirable dust, and suggested that non-viral pathogens should be considered in the process of mine dust prevention and control.
