“…Samples taken from the pastry shop of a bus terminal area showed significant concentrations of formaldehyde, although acetaldehyde predominated. The authors suggest that such results depend on the activities carried out inside the pastry shop, related to food preparation [ 27 ]. In this regard, a recent hypothesis is that formaldehyde and acetaldehyde exposure occurs in bakeries and pastry industries particularly in processes that involve a strong leavening [ 28 ].…”

The aim of this study is to highlight tasks and jobs not commonly considered at high risk for sinonasal cancer (SNC) identified by Regional Operating Centers currently active in the Italian National Sinonasal Cancer Registry (ReNaTuNS), which retrieve occupational histories through a standardized questionnaire. Data on exposures to IARC carcinogenic agents in work settings unknown to be associated with SNC risk were collected and analyzed. Out of 2,208 SNC cases recorded in the ReNaTuNS database, 216 cases and their worked exposure periods were analyzed. Unsuspected jobs with exposure to wood dust include construction-related tasks, production of resins, agriculture and livestock jobs (straw and sawdust), and heel factory work (cork dust). Other examples are hairdressers, bakers (formaldehyde), dressmakers, technical assistants, wool and artificial fiber spinners, and upholsterers (textile dusts). Moreover, settings with coexposure to different agents (e.g., wood with leather dusts and chromium–nickel compounds) were recognized. The study describes jobs where the existence of carcinogenic agents associated with SNC risk is unexpected or not resulting among primary materials employed. The systematic epidemiological surveillance of all epithelial SNC cases with a detailed collection of their work history, as performed by a dedicated population registry, is essential for detecting all potential occupational cases and should be considered in the context of forensic medicine and the compensation process.

“…However, in a recent case–control study, excess risks were found for ever exposure to welding fumes, organic solvents, hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), leather dust, and nickel [ 24 ]. In previous studies, the most reported cases of chromium-induced nasal cancer were squamous cell carcinoma [ 27 , 39 ].…”

“…Formaldehyde and AA can be emitted directly from the source or by secondary production via photochemical reactions (Chi et al, 2007; de Carvalho et al, 2008; de Mendonça Ochs et al, 2015; Ho et al, 2016; Morknoy et al, 2011; Wang et al, 2005). Emissions sources include vegetation and anthropogenic sources such as gas stations, motor vehicle emissions, and bus terminals (Anderson et al, 1996; de Mendonça Ochs et al, 2015; Duan et al, 2012; Lü et al, 2010; Morknoy et al, 2011; Nogueira et al, 2014; Nogueira et al, 2017; Viskari et al, 2000).…”

“…Concentrations of these species have been reported to depend on meteorological conditions such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed (Lü et al, 2016; Missia et al, 2010; Morknoy et al, 2011). According to United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), FA and AA are classified as group B1 (human carcinogen) and group B2 (probable human carcinogen) species, respectively (de Mendonça Ochs et al, 2015; Rodrigues et al, 2012; USEPA, 1999a, 1999b). In addition, FA leads to eye irritation, a dry or sore throat, mucous membranes, a tingling sensation of the nose, menstrual disorders, pregnancy problems, and bronchial asthma-like symptoms (Barkhordari et al, 2017; Ho et al, 2016; Kanjanasiranont et al, 2017; Tunsaringkarn et al, 2012c; U.S.EPA, 2000).…”

This study reports a spatiotemporal characterization of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the summer and winter of 2017 in the urban area of Shiraz, Iran. Sampling was fulfilled according to EPA Method TO-11 A. The inverse distance weighting (IDW) procedure was used for spatial mapping. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted to evaluate carcinogenic and non-cancer risk owing to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde exposure in 11 age groups. The average concentrations of formal-dehyde/acetaldehyde in the summer and winter were 15.07/8.40 μg m−3 and 8.57/3.52 μg m−3, respectively. The formaldehyde to acetaldehyde ratios in the summer and winter were 1.80 and 2.43, respectively. The main sources of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were photochemical generation, vehicular traffic, and biogenic emissions (e.g., coniferous and deciduous trees). The mean inhalation lifetime cancer risk (LTCR) values according to the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in summer and winter ranged between 7.55 × 10−6 and 9.25 × 10−5, which exceed the recommended value by US EPA. The average LTCR according to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in summer and winter were between 4.82 × 10−6 and 2.58 × 10−4, which exceeds recommended values for five different age groups (Birth to <1, 1 to <2, 2 to < 3, 3 to <6, and 6 to <11 years). Hazard quotients (HQs) of formaldehyde ranged between 0.04 and 4.18 for both seasons, while the HQs for acetaldehyde were limited between 0.42 and 0.97.

The present work reports the variation of 31 carbonyl compounds (CC) in an apartment located at Niterói City, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Eight sampling campaigns were conducted through a 1-year period, and three areas (living room, kitchen, and bedroom) were evaluated before, during, and after the renovation activities and reoccupation of the apartment. Samples were collected using SEP-PAK cartridges impregnated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, and the hydrazones were analyzed using rapid resolution liquid chromatography with UV detection. The lowest total concentration of CC (19.0 ± 1.5 μg m(-3)) was found before the renovation when the apartment was empty, but door varnishing resulted in highest contamination of the apartment (1386 ± 384 μg m(-3)); however, an important dispersion of CC was observed in the subsequent sampling (148 ± 1.8 μg m(-3)). After apartment reoccupation, the indoor contamination seemed to depend on the routine activities taken there, such as household product use and cooking activities, but apparently, local temperature increase favored the vaporization of the volatile CC from the building materials in the apartment. As far as we are concerned, this is the first study comparing the concentrations of 31 CC in residential areas before, during, and after renovation activities taken in Brazil.
