{"title":"Assessment of the Workplace","authors":"G. Doekes, M. Raulf, D. Heederik, C. Redlich, S. Tarlo, Jean-Luc Malo","doi":"10.1201/9781003000624-6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003000624-6","url":null,"abstract":"Occupational and work-related asthma can be caused or aggravated by exposure\u0000 to a wide range of chemical and biological agents. Exposure is defined as\u0000 direct physical contact with an agent and since inhalation is obviously the\u0000 most important route of exposure, this chapter mainly focuses on airborne\u0000 agents. Dermal exposure is also discussed briefly, since systemic allergic\u0000 sensitization to some asthmagens can also occur after skin contact. Relevant\u0000 questions to address in exposure assessment at the workplace include: Which\u0000 sensitizing proinflammatory or irritant agents are present at the workplace:\u0000 in handled materials, used equipment, the surrounding air, etc.? What are\u0000 the exposure levels: how much of each agent is inhaled by the worker? When\u0000 does exposure occur: which job tasks are associated with (high) airborne\u0000 exposure? How does exposure vary between and within workers with different\u0000 tasks and over time? Exposure assessment at the workplace can be defined as\u0000 the systematic, both qualitative and quantitative, characterization of\u0000 exposure. The objectives of the assessment should first be defined. A\u0000 measurement procedure usually consists of three steps: (a) sampling at the\u0000 workplace; (b) storage and transport to a laboratory, where samples are\u0000 further processed; and (c) analysis of the contents of extracts with\u0000 chemical, immunochemical, enzymatic, microbiological or molecular biological\u0000 methods. In this chapter, two main topics are thoroughly covered: sampling\u0000 and analysis methods. Exposure assessment strategies including compliance\u0000 and exposure modeling as well as job-exposure matrices are also\u0000 examined.","PeriodicalId":407654,"journal":{"name":"Asthma in the Workplace","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126740222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
