Legionnaires' disease (LD), first reported in 1976, is an atypical pneumonia caused by bacteria of the genus Legionella , and most frequently L. pneumophila (Lp) . Subsequent research on exposure to organism employed various animal models, with quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) techniques, model data may provide insights human dose‐response for LD. This article focuses rationale selection guinea pig model, comparison results, projected low‐dose responses pigs, estimates humans....
To evaluate the relation between mortality from lymphohaematopoietic cancer and long term, low level exposures to benzene among male petroleum distribution workers.This nested case control study identified all fatal cases of a previously studied cohort. Of 29 cases, 14 had leukaemia, seven multiple myeloma, eight non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A four one matching ratio was used select stratified sample controls same cohort, controlling for year birth time at risk. Industrial hygienists estimated...
Background: The quantities of Legionella vary considerably from natural waters to water in contaminated domestic hot supplies, whirlpool spas and cooling towers, with the risk for LD rising as counts grow. We currently report results our Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) model evaluation. developed QMRA better understand exposure risks. Methods: Using an animal data derived LD, we calculated risks estimated exposures a spa outbreak, two spring outbreaks compared reported Results:...
Evaluation of a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) model for Legionnaires' disease (LD) required Legionella exposure estimates several well-documented LD outbreaks. Reports whirlpool spa and two natural spring outbreaks provided data the assessment, as well rates infection mortality. Exposure outbreak employed aerosol generation, water composition, duration data, building ventilation parameters with two-zone model. Estimates hot springs used bacterial to air partitioning...

A quantitative exposure-estimating algorithm for benzene and total hydrocarbons was developed a case control study of petroleum marketing distribution workers. The used multiplicative model to adjust recently measured exposure data past scenarios which representative measurement did not exist. This accomplished through the development modifiers account differences in workplace, materials handled, environmental conditions, tasks performed. Values were obtained empirically physical/chemical...
This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between leukemia occurrence and long-term, low-level benzene exposures in petroleum distribution workers. Fourteen cases were identified among a previously studied cohort [Schnatter et al., Environ Health Perspect 101 (Suppl 6):85-89 (1993)]. Four controls per case selected from same cohort, controlling for birth year time at risk. Industrial hygienists estimated workplace benzene, without knowledge of case-control status. Average...
Objective: Due to the sparse data on benzene exposure and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) subtypes, we studied this relationship in patients from 29 hospitals Shanghai, China. Methods: We recruited 604 cases of MDS 1193 controls matched age, sex, admission date. interviewed subjects for information workplace lifestyle exposures, developed semi-quantitative estimates. Results: Benzene showed a direct exposure–response pattern with refractory cytopenia multilineage dysplasia, less certain...
