Its carcinogenic, allergenic, and toxic potential depends on wood species, physicochemical properties, processing methods, and applied chemical treatments. The aim of this review was to analyze occupational exposure to wood dust by synthesizing current evidence on worker health risks, measurement methods, legal regulations, and preventive strategies, in order to evaluate the adequacy of existing solutions and identify areas requiring further improvement. The review is based on 61 literature sources: publications, legal acts, official guidelines from international and national institutions (International Agency for Research on Cancer, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, Statistics Poland, Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, Polish Ministry of Health). Sources published 2010-2024 were analyzed with particular focus on dust characteristics, exposure limits, measurement methods, preventive measures, and regulatory frameworks. Exposure to wood dust contributes to both acute and chronic respiratory conditions, skin and eye irritation, and a higher incidence of upper respiratory tract cancers. Recent regulatory changes have expanded the classification of wood dust as a carcinogen to include all species. Despite existing occupational exposure limits (OELs), exceedances remain common in woodworking industries. Conventional monitoring methods may underestimate respirable and ultrafine particles (UFP <100 nm), which pose substantial health risks. Preventive strategies - including technical controls, ventilation, personal protective equipment, and medical surveillance - significantly reduce airborne dust concentrations and worker exposure. Findings indicate a need to update OELs and harmonize regulations with current scientific evidence. Effective prevention requires integrating legal requirements, engineering controls, process automation, and medical and educational interventions. Strengthening national standards within the European Union regulatory framework and improving measurement methods - especially for inhalable and ultrafine fractions - are essential to ensuring adequate worker protection.

The methodology included a review of literature from reputable databases, institutional reports on hazardous medicinal products, and data from national registries. The results confirm that, despite its effectiveness in cancer treatment, PTX is a highly toxic substance associated with significant occupational risk. Due to its high molecular weight and relatively high vapor pressure, exposure may occur via inhalation and dermal contact during various stages of drug handling - from preparation to contact with patients' excreta. Biological monitoring has detected PTX in the urine and plasma of healthcare workers, while environmental monitoring has confirmed widespread surface contamination in medical facilities. The potential health effects of PTX primarily include mutagenic and genotoxic actions (aneugenicity, clastogenicity, DNA damage, chromosomal aberrations, and micronuclei formation), as well as neurotoxicity, myelosuppression, hepatotoxicity, and adverse effects on reproduction (embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity, and impaired fertility). To identify irregularities early and effectively reduce health risks associated with PTX exposure, a comprehensive occupational exposure assessment should become standard practice. This assessment should incorporate 3 complementary components: biological monitoring of workers, air concentration measurements, and surface contamination testing using wipe sampling. The inclusion of surface contamination measurements as a routine exposure surveillance method should be recognized as a best practice in healthcare settings where cytotoxic substances are used. A reference value of 0.1 ng/cm² for surface contamination is recommended.

In recent years, it has been noted that lead exposure poses a significant health risk to both those who professionally use indoor shooting ranges, such as services officers, instructors, and shooting range staff, as well as occasional users. Exposure to lead increased its blood concentrations, which is associated with the risk of serious health effects, primarily affecting the hematopoietic system and the peripheral nervous system. Indoor shooting ranges constitute a significant source of occupational lead exposure for employees and users, primarily through inhalation. Available literature indicates existing health risks associated with working at these facilities, primarily related to the chronic effects of lead poisoning. Lead, although regulated by industry, is not routinely identified as a harmful agent at shooting ranges, resulting in a lack of measurements of lead concentrations in air and blood. The aim of this study was to assess current legal regulations regarding occupational lead exposure in the workplace in relation to exposure of employees at indoor shooting ranges. This study analyzed and summarized the current regulations regarding occupational lead exposure assessment and the literature regarding potential lead exposure at indoor shooting ranges.

This narrative review provides an insight into the complexity of the processes of arsenic's influence on cardiovascular health and attempts to identify factors that may serve as potential preventive targets. Arsenic exposure has been associated with several cardiovascular outcomes, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, venous insufficiency, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Common exposure to As and other metals is inevitable, but it is worth noting that the difference in its toxicity may be due to gender, diet, exposure, and dose level, among other factors. Even in the case of the smallest and short-lived exposures, the poisonous and immensely damaging effects of As pose a serious risk of at least cardiovascular health, a major public health challenge as global growth continues. The challenge for future epidemiological and public health research on As and vascular diseases should be to study long-term exposure to As at the individual level in different groups. Reliable biomarkers with appropriate references to the sample should be used, individuals with low and moderate exposure should be included, and a modern genomic approach should be used to analyze genetic susceptibility.
