1-Nitropyrene and Diesel Particulate Matter Exposures Among Workers in a Metal Mine
Pyke, Christopher RobertDiesel engines are used all over the world in many different applications. Diesel exhaust (DE) has been shown to be associated with several adverse health effects, the most notable being lung cancer. Current methods of ... -
Biomonitoring of Wildland Firefighters: Analysis of Methoxyphenols as Viable Urinary Biomarkers of Wood Smoke Exposure
Ebert, Jonathan Robert (2013-02-25)Occupational exposures to wood smoke can lead to a multitude of health effects, making it a pertinent issue of public health. Biomass in the form of wood smoke can lead to adverse health effects including respiratory ... -
Characterization of Traffic-Related Air Pollutants near a Major Roadway in Albuquerque Using a Mobile Monitoring Approach
Banks, Lyndsey (2013-07-25)In order to assess the characteristics of air pollutants in proximity to major roadways, a mobile monitoring campaign took place using the University of Washington Center for Clean Air Research (CCAR) mobile instrument ... -
Evaluation of 1-Nitropyrene as a Surrogate Measure for Diesel Exhaust: Assessment of Personal Air Monitoring Data from an Underground Mine
Carpenter, Emily EdithObjectives We investigate the hypothesis that 1-Nitropyrene (1-NP) concentration in air is a viable surrogate measure of diesel exhaust exposure, as compared with industry-standard elemental carbon (EC) and total carbon ... -
Evaluation of PAH Metabolites as Biomarkers for Occupational Wood Smoke Exposure in Wildland Firefighters
Birch, SpencerExposure to wood smoke has been associated with lung cancer and other adverse health outcomes, and therefore it is a great health concern for those in developing parts of the world as well as developed nations. Pyrene, ... -
Health Effects of Exposure to Cannabis in Workers in an Indoor Growing Facility
Ghodsian, NiloufarBackground: Legalization of recreational cannabis in multiple states, including Washington, has scaled up cultivation of this plant. This rise in cultivation also raises health and safety concerns for workers in this ... -
Investigation of biomarkers related to manganese exposure in metalworkers
Baker, Marissa GaylManganese (Mn) is found in both environmental and occupational settings, and can cause neurological conditions affecting cognition and mobility. Existing Mn exposure biomarker studies have not reached consensus on a valid ... -
Measurement of Urinary 1-Nitropyrene Metabolites as Biomarkers ofExposure to Diesel Exhaust in Underground Miners
Ramsay, JoemyExposure to diesel exhaust (DE) is prevalent in both occupational and environmental settings and has been associated with several adverse health outcomes including cancer and respiratory and cardiovascular disease. The ...
