Different levels of hospitals varied in implementing medical waste management in regulations and processes, segregation, collection, transport, temporary storage centers, disposal, special medical waste, and disposal personnel's protective measures. Partial practices of medical waste management in some surveyed hospitals were not well performed, especially in primary hospitals. Hospitals should pay more attention to all processes of medical waste management, strengthen management of highly infectious and hazardous waste, and provide sufficient training and protective measures. Besides, effective policies are recommended for monitoring compliance with regulations and improving proper medical waste management.","PeriodicalId":14039,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Health Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143763600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to examine diarrheal infection and risk factors among farmers using wastewater for irrigation in Addis Ababa.

Among these, a cohort of 200 adults (100 wastewater-exposed, 100 unexposed farmers) aged 25-69 years were selected and followed up biweekly for two successive vegetables growing seasons to examine the incidence of diarrhea. The incidence rate of reported diarrhea was 12 episodes per 1,000 person-weeks at risk and a maximum of 17 episodes per 1,000 person-weeks at risk. Strongly associated risk factors include washing body and clothes with wastewater [AOR: 4.2, 95%CI (1, 11.2)], using working clothes at home [AOR: 4.7, 95%CI (0.25, 87)], and wearing protective cloth [AOR: 5.6, 95 CI (0.3, 70)]. Moreover, hand washing after work, washing feet and boots, and on-site hand washing were significant determinants of farmers' diarrhea. Exposure to wastewater significantly contributes to the risk of diarrhea among adults. Significant determinants of diarrhea among farmers include washing the body and clothes with irrigation water, contamination with soil and irrigation water, and on-site hand washing. Increased risk factors include hand contamination, washing vegetables with irrigation water, eating raw vegetables, and using work clothes at home.","PeriodicalId":14039,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Health Research","volume":" ","pages":"909-921"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141467857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through 1976-2017, information on occupation was linked to quantitative exposure estimates of RCQ, obtained from the job-exposure matrix of SYN-JEM. The follow-up period (1996-2018) counted 19,357,326 person-years, where 35,511 first-time AMIs occurred, according to register-based hospital contacts. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for AMI based on cumulative, recent, and maximum exposure were computed using Poisson regression adjusted for socio-economic factors, comorbidities, air pollution, and other occupational exposures such as noise, physically demanding work, exposure to diesel exhaust, and job strain. For cumulative exposure, the IRR for AMI in the unadjusted model was highest in the two lowest exposed quartiles (IRR for Q1 = 1.19 (95%CI: 1.13-1.25), IRR for Q2 = 1.12 (95%CI: 1.06, 1.17)). However, in the fully adjusted model, these associations were no longer significant and even inverse for exposed above 25th percentile. The lowest IRR was observed in the highest RCQ exposure quartile (IRR = 0.87, (95%CI: 0.83-0.92)). In general, the RCQ exposure levels in the DOC*X Dust cohort were presumed to be lower than in countries that - contrary to Denmark - have an active mining industry. In conclusion, no increased risk of AMI due to RCQ exposure was observed, but cautious interpretation is warranted because of potential bias from the healthy worker survivor effect.","PeriodicalId":14039,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Health Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143752514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
