Background This study focuses on assessing occupational risk for the health hazards
encountered during maintenance works (MW) in semiconductor fabrication (FAB) facilities …

Control banding (CB) strategies offer simplified processes for controlling worker exposures
in the absence of firm toxicological and exposure information. The nanotechnology industry …

In the scope of a Dutch programme to reinforce the working conditions policy on hazardous
substances, an internet-based tool was developed to help small-and medium-sized …

Why do we age and die? Aging, or senescence as it is sometimes called, is an inevitable
progressive deterioration of physiological function with increasing age, demographically …

We present in this paper a review of the toxicological and environmental hazards, exposures
and risks of tetrahydrofuran (THF; CASRN 109-99-9). THF is a polar solvent and monomer …

Exposure to manufactured nanomaterials (MNs) is a growing concern for occupational
health and safety. Reliable methods for assessing and predicting MN exposure are essential …

The present paper proposes a source–receptor model to schematically describe inhalation
exposure to help understand the complex processes leading to inhalation of hazardous …

Occupational exposure modeling is widely used in the context of the EU regulation on the
registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals (REACH). First tier tools …

The objectives of REACH cannot be achieved under the current risk assessment approach.
A change in mind set among all the relevant stakeholders is needed: risk assessment …
