“…However, information from Statistics Sweden in 2001 regarding work-related health problems in the last 12 months, showed that work-related mental stress was not more commonly reported by cooks, waiters/waitresses or kitchen and restaurant workers compared with the total occupationally active population in Sweden (33). Among females (129 female cooks and 261 female restaurant and kitchen assistants participated), 8.4% of cooks and 6.6% of kitchen and restaurant workers reported health problems due to mental stress at work, compared with 11.2% among the total female working population.…”

“…carcinogenic potency tend to bind to larger particles rather than ultrafine particles. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is that the ultrafine particles might be generated from selfnucleation of high temperature oil vapor, which had been oxidized in the air and contained lots of oxidized compounds, such as aldehydes [39,53] rather than carcinogenic PAHs.…”

“…2 3 Occupational exposures can occur in common workplace settings such as restaurants. 4 PAHs and PAH-DNA adducts have been found in placental tissues of women, amniotic fluid samples and umbilical cord blood samples from newborns. [5][6][7][8][9][10] PAH adducts can disrupt the cell's microenvironment, 1 11 to which the rapidly growing and differentiating cells of the fetus may be particularly vulnerable.…”

Objectives While some of the highest maternal exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) occur in the workplace, there is only one previous study of occupational PAH exposure and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We sought to extend this literature using interview data combined with detailed exposure assessment. Methods Data for 1997–2002 were analysed from mothers of infants without major birth defects in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a large population-based case-control study in the USA. Maternal telephone interviews yielded information on jobs held in the month before conception through delivery. From 6252 eligible control mothers, 2803 completed the interview, had a job, met other selection criteria, and were included in the analysis. Two industrial hygienists independently assessed occupational exposure to PAHs from the interview and reviewed results with a third to reach consensus. Small for gestational age (SGA) was the only adverse pregnancy outcome with enough exposed cases to yield meaningful results. Logistic regression estimated crude and adjusted ORs. Results Of the 2803 mothers, 221 (7.9%) had infants who were SGA. Occupational PAH exposure was found for 17 (7.7%) of the mothers with SGA offspring and 102 (4.0%) of the remaining mothers. Almost half the jobs with exposure were related to food preparation and serving. After adjustment for maternal age, there was a significant association of occupational exposure with SGA (OR=2.2, 95% CI 1.3 to 3.8). Conclusions Maternal occupational exposure to PAHs was found to be associated with increased risk of SGA offspring.
