Comparing the costs, benefits, of silica dust prevention methods for construction workers

par CAREXCanada | Août 20, 2020 | Actualités cancérogènes

Institute for Work and Health – Worksites can use different prevention methods to reduce silica dust exposure, including the wet method, local exhaust ventilation, and personal protective equipment. A team of researchers found a combination of all three methods can avert the highest number of lung cancer cases (107 cases per year). However, the most cost-beneficial approach is the wet method used in combination with local exhaust ventilation.

Occupational asbestos exposure after the ban: a job exposure matrix developed in Italy

par CAREXCanada | Août 3, 2020 | Actualités cancérogènes

European Journal of Public Health – The objective of this study was to develop a job exposure matrix (JEM) in order to provide summary information for the period 1996–2016 on the magnitude of occupational exposures to asbestos fibres in Italy after the ban. A total of 46,422 workers (86% male) were estimated to be potentially at risk of exposure to asbestos in the sectors of asbestos abatement.

Fine-particle air pollution has decreased across the US, but poor and minority communities are still the most polluted

par CAREXCanada | Juil 30, 2020 | Actualités cancérogènes

The Conversation – Air pollution contributes to as many as 9 million premature deaths worldwide each year. In a newly published study, researchers leverage newly available data that captures PM2.5 concentrations at more than 8.6 million distinct U.S. locations from 1981 through 2016. The results show that the neighborhoods and population groups that were most exposed to fine particle pollution 40 years ago – disproportionately low-income and minority communities – are still exposed to higher pollution levels.

Identifying priorities for communicating a large body of research for impact

par CAREXCanada | Juin 5, 2020 | Actualités cancérogènes

Scholarly and Research Communication – With 80 known and suspected carcinogens in its database and over 800 estimates of how and where Canadians are exposed, CAREX’s challenge has been to focus its efforts to achieve impact. A process model for identifying and prioritizing opportunities for knowledge translation was developed. A total of 54 impacts were tracked, including priority setting, cancer prevention research, implementation research, and policy and practice change.
