Air quality played an important role as polluted air quality could environment as well as property.chemometrics was performed with the objectives to ensure the air quality data analysis is Air quality played an important role as polluted air quality could harm human health, environment as well as property. Thus, a study of air quality pollutants assessment using chemometrics was performed with the objectives to ensure the air quality data analysis is le and interpreted well. Analysis of PCA, FA, KMO and Bartlett's test were done on five main air quality pollutants (O 3 , NO 2 , SO 2 , CO and PM 10 From the data analysis obtained, the concentrations of air quality pollutants all around Malaysia starting from 2008 to 2011 were acceptable and the most dominant major pollutants had been highlighted. KMO obtained in this study is 0.7760, which show that the results are factor well. While, Bartlett's test shows that the variables correlated to each other's.quality data were acceptable for factor analysis.

“…The AIR Pneumo excels other educational programs for pneumoconiosis in certifying readers with acceptable proficiency after assessing their detecting ability for pneumoconiotic opacities on the chest radiographs, such as small rounded/irregular opacities, large opacities, and pleural abnormalities. The AIR Pneumo provides two‐day view box seminar on chest radiograph reading, followed by a half‐day examination using 60 radiographs . Participants are taught about each type of opacities through short lectures and hands‐on observation of radiographs on the view box, which allows participants to see the same image as in the real clinical practice.…”

Objective Occupational Lung Disease is an oldest but still a biggest problem in occupational health. Methods Steering Committee members of the Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) Occupational Lung Disease Study Group selected and summarized current topics on occupational lung diseases based on expert opinion, as informed by governmental regulation, public health concerns, and frequently discussed in related academic conferences. Results The topics included in this review are professional education in medical screening skills, 2014 update of Helsinki Criteria, respiratory diseases found in the earthquake and tsunami affected regions, newly recognized occupational lung diseases, and potential respiratory health hazards. Discussions Although occupational lung diseases seem to stay as one of the major concerns in occupational health, screening tools and control measures are standardized for the better prevention of the diseases. As this health problem usually occurs in where the most actively economically developing area is, the patients tend to increase in emerging economic powers with huge population.

“…Chest radiographs were interpreted by two readers, including one chest physician who was a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-approved B reader 15) and one occupational medicine physician who was a certified Asian Intensive Reader of Pneumoconioses (AIR Pneumo) 16,17) . Furthermore, computed tomography of the chest was used to confirm abnormal findings of chest radiographs in every case, referring to the International Classification of HRCT for Occupational and Environmental Respiratory Diseases (ICOERD) 18,19) .…”
