<h3>Background</h3> Mesothelioma is increasingly recognised as a global health issue and the assessment of its burden warranted. <h3>Objectives</h3> To descriptively analyse national mortality data to use reported estimated calculate mesothelioma deaths. <h3>Methods</h3> For study period 1994 2014, we grouped 230 countries into 59 with quality suitable be used for reference rates, 45 poor 126 no data, based on availability in WHO Mortality Database. estimate deaths, extrapolated...
OBJECTIVE: This study provides the global-, regional- and country-level estimates on work-related burden of diseases accidents for 2019, including deaths, disability adjusted life years (DALY) economic losses. METHODS: Data occupational illnesses injuries from international organizations, institutions, public websites were used. Risk ratios (RR) population attributable fractions (PAF) risk factor-outcome pairs derived literature. Estimated mortality DALY a group seven major covering 120...
Data on occupational accidents are not available from all countries in the world. Furthermore, underreporting, limited coverage by reporting and compensation schemes, non-harmonized accident recording notification systems undermine efforts to obtain worldwide information accidents. This paper presents a method new estimated global figures of fatal at work region. The rates reported International Labour Office extended total employed workforce regions. For areas covered information, other...
Work-related mortality is a relatively new concept which aims to widen occupational health and safety; take into account not only recognized fatal accidents diseases but also other work-related deaths. Few countries in the world have register for diseases.Estimates are calculated using baseline scenarios of all year 2000 attributable fractions made Finland, as adjusted.It estimated that about 2 million deaths place annually. Men suffer two thirds those The biggest groups cancers, circulatory...
This working paper presents arguments for a stronger policy to eradicate occupational cancer in Europe and globally.
Background. Asbestos has been used for thousands of years but in a large industrial scale about 100&ndash;150 years. The first identified disease was asbestosis, type incurable pneumoconiosis caused by asbestos dust and fibres. latest estimate global number asbestosis deaths from the Global Burden Disease 2016 is 3495. cancer late 1930&rsquo;s despite today&rsquo;s overwhelming evidence strong carcinogenicity all types including chrysotile it still widely globally. Various...
Abstract The vast majority of non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is attributable to excessive exposure ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Outdoor workers are exposed an UVR dose at least 2 3 times higher than indoor and often daily doses 5 above internationally recommended limits. risk workplace vastly neglected, the evident future challenges presented in this statement contrasted with current situation regarding legal recognition, patient care compensation. While prevention crucial reduce risks for...
Background: This study compares estimates of the global-level mesothelioma burden with a focus on how existing national mortality data were utilized and further assesses interrelationship country-level asbestos use income status. Methods: Country-level deaths in WHO Mortality Database as December 2019 analyzed by category countries terms availability reliability. Numbers from Odgerel et al. reanalyzed to assess death burdens Results: Among 80 high-income countries, 54 (68%) reported 26 (32%)...
Objectives The global burden of asbestos-related diseases (ARDs) is significant, and most the world’s population live in countries where asbestos use continues. We examined gaps between ARD research suggestions WHO International Labour Organization on prevention. Methods From Web Science, we collected data all articles published during 1991–2016 identified a subset ARD-related articles. classified into three areas—laboratory, clinical public health—and their time trends. For top 11...

Worldwide, 230,000+ people die annually from asbestos-related diseases (ARDs). The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that countries develop a National Asbestos Profile (NAP) to eliminate ARDs. For 195 countries, we assessed the global status of NAPs (A: bona fide NAP, B: proxy C: relevant published information, D: no information) by national income (HI: high, UMI: upper-middle, LMI: lower-middle, LI: low), asbestos bans (banned, no-ban) and public data availability. Fourteen (7%...
Every year 335,000 workers die in occupational accidents and altogether 1.1 million fatalities are caused by work-related factors. Some 250 nonfatal causing absence from work aggravated permanent disabilities, reduced capacity of life work, economic losses amounting to 4% gross national product. The role the International Labour Office (ILO) promoting social justice is based on ethical principles demonstrated ILO's standard-setting information exchange, proposed Global Program Occupational...
