O-211 Occupational exposure of hairdressers to airborne hazardous chemicals: a scoping review

Abstract

duration of outdoor work for all ISCO-88(COM) occupations that were included with season, duration of measurements and latitude as fixed effects in a mixed effects model. Study and occupation were included as random effects. The dependent variable was log-transformed SED harmonised (dosimeter type and location on the body) and weighted by the occupation exposure probability. Results Modelled workday solar UVR level showed a monotonic increase with increasing expert rating. b-coefficients were 0.62 SED (95% CI -0.51:1.75) for 1 hour; 0.80 SED (95% CI -0.28:1.88) for 2-5 hours and 1.20 SED (95% CI 0.12:2.28) for >5 hours, compared to 0 hours. An eight-fold ratio between the highest and the lowest exposed occupations was seen. Our JEM estimates have highest exposure among farm-hands, concrete placers and related trades while waiters, wood-processing-plant operators, and several white collar occupations have the lowest exposure. Conclusion This is the first general population quantitative JEM for occupational solar UVR exposure including personal measurements for investigation of exposure-response relations in epidemiological studies of health effects potentially associated with occupational UVR exposure.
