It would be interesting if the #occupational #history of each #parent was reported for each person quoted.

#FloorWaxing could be an important source of #PFAS #contamination, with increased #occupational health risks for #workers
May 25, 2022
"There’s a special satisfaction that comes from walking on perfectly shined floors — but is it worth the potential risk to floor waxing workers?
"A study published earlier this year measured per- and #polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in #dust and airborne #ParticulateMatter [which means it's going into the air that everyone breathes -- just not humans] during professional floor stripping and waxing. After estimating PFAS emission rates generated from the process, researchers concluded that significantly higher levels of PFAS were present during floor waxing.
"The study was led by Jiaqi Zhou, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the UNC-Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health. Collaborators include Karsten Baumann; Naomi Chang; Glenn Morrison; Wanda Bodnar; Zhenfa Zhang; Jason Surratt; and Barbara J. Turpin — all with the Gillings School — and Joanna M. Atkin, with UNC’s Department of Chemistry.
"PFAS are human-produced chemicals commonly used in industry and consumer products. Most PFAS do not break down over time, so they remain in the environment and in the bodies of exposed human and #animals long after initial use. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to PFAS may be linked to harmful health effects, which was the impetus for this study.
"Published in Atmospheric Environment, the paper reports that floor waxing floor waxing workers could have increased occupational health risks due to PFAS exposures.
“Assessment of occupational exposure due to floor maintenance is important because PFAS exposures can lead to increased risk of #cancer, #immunotoxicity and #neurodevelopmental problems, the co-authors write."

I desperately need an #advocate. A #medical advocate to be precise. If you are able to help, let me know. Do you know anyone else who can help? Yes I’ve checked all the lists books are closed. #Melbourne best but anywhere in #Australia is ok you can dial into any meetings.
You don’t have to be a professional. People in the #healthcare industry who know the system migh be able to help (#physiotherapist, #occupational therapist, #nurse, etc)
I need a witness at the very least.
Please boost. 🙏

Despite the burden of #COVID19 among workers, little is known about work-related exposures and COVID. Infectious disease surveillance systems were unprepared to collect occupational data, presenting a barrier to assessing #occupational risks. #OccEnvMed

We have: @doctorsdilemma, @ZekeMD @ZekeMD@mastodon.social.
Who's joined the Mastodon? Say hi! 😊
@ulrikeklinger Hey folks! Let's have a list of academics in #work, #occupational medicine/nursing/psychology/epidemiology/hygiene, #ergonomics, #work #sociology...
Hi, I'm Quentin, Occupational Medicine Specialist at the UofA. I am migrating from mastodon.world :)
Please post any question related to #work and #health, #occupational diseases, and work-related #stress
You have questions on #work and #health, on #occupational diseases, on work-related #stress? Drop your questions and I’ll respond to them :) Keep your questions general, as I do not provide individual medical advice using social media :)
*Programming Isn’t Hard — But It’s Frustrating*
"But the frustration in coding has a unique bitterness, because computers and programming languages are — in theory, anyway — deterministic. They’re clockwork mechanisms. If you can just grasp how the various parts of the program you’re writing function, you ought to be able to mentally envision the flow, and figure out what you’re doing wrong."
