Occupational Risk Factors by Sectors: An Observational Study of 20,000 Workers

“…Workers in the construction sector had the highest prevalence of reporting biomechanical factors. This is consistent with the results found in other studies using the sector of activity as a variable [ 27 ]. In these sectors of activity, workers often must handle loads and make repetitive motions with equipment, which is sometimes not adapted to the working conditions.…”

Evaluation of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and its degradation products in human exhaled breath and indoor air in a community setting

“…Scheepers et al detected both PCE and its degradation products in exhaled breath from workers exposed to PCE [35]. In addition, co-exposure to PCE and TCE have been observed in previous studies [67]. This investigation demonstrates that co-exposure to PCE and VC was common among the residents of Martinsville, and to a lesser extent, PCE and TCE coexposure.…”

“…This investigation demonstrates that co-exposure to PCE and VC was common among the residents of Martinsville, and to a lesser extent, PCE and TCE co-exposure. PCE, TCE and VC are neurotoxic chemicals [ 68 – 71 ], and potential adverse neurotoxic synergistic effects have also been reported [ 67 ].…”

Poverty and Risk of Cleft Lip and Palate: An Analysis of United States Birth Data

“…Individuals with advanced degrees are less likely to be frontline workers and experience direct exposure to deleterious industrial and agricultural chemicals, which have been identified as risk factors for cleft lip with or without cleft palate—but not cleft palate only—in newborns. 23,40,42–44…”
