Evaluating human response to sensory irritation: Implications for setting occupational exposure limits
Animal models of sensory irritation have led to the development of useful assays for evaluating the potency of chemical irritants. However, human exposure studies are still required to model and understand the human response to sensory irritants. In recent years a series of tests have been developed for humans that can be safely conducted and that can provide excellent data on which to base occupational exposure limits. This article discusses the major issues involved in the evaluations of sensory irritation in humans. These issues include the differences between odor and irritation, irritation and slight toxicity, adaptation and habituation, as well as personal expectation about discomfort and the reported irritation. The article also describes psycho-physiological and electrophysiological methods for assessing sensory irritation. Some of the possible confounders that can influence the results of human tests involving sensory irritants are addressed.

Radiographic abnormalities in long-tenure Vermont granite workers and the permissible exposure limit for crystalline silica
To study the prevalence of radiographic abnormalities among retired granite workers, 408 x-ray films were examined. Dust exposures were estimated for workers hired after 1940, when the dust-control standard of 10 million particles per cubic foot (equivalent to 0.1mg/m³) was put in place. Dust levels were gradually reduced from 1940 to 1954, after which average quartz exposures stabilized to average approximately 0.05 to 0.06mg/m³; however, about 10% to 15% of samples after 1954 exceeded 0.1mg/m³. Of the 408 x-ray films, 58 were taken on workers hired before 1940, and 25.9% showed abnormalities. 350 x-ray films were taken on workers hired in 1940 or after, and the prevalence in this group was 5.7%. The radiographic changes in workers hired after 1940 are likely to be due to excessive exposures during the first 15 years of dust control. It is concluded that if the exposure standard of 0.1mg/m³ is rigorously observed in the workplace, radiographic abnormalities caused by quartz dust in long-term workers will be rare.

Biological exposure indices
Indices biologiques d'exposition [in French]
Biological exposure indices consist of reference values corresponding either to the concentrations of a chemical or its metabolites in biological fluids or exhaled air, or to a biological response to a chemical. These indices represent a means of evaluating the exposure of workers to chemicals, and should be considered as a supplemental indicator to the values of exposure limits in air. This review article provides definitions of biological indices proposed by American hygienists of the AGCIH (BEI) and German hygienists of the DFG (BAT); it discusses their advantages and limitations, and includes a summary table of accepted values.

Regulating the risk of tuberculosis transmission among health care workers
The relationship between tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease rates is discussed, and a probability framework is introduced for the apportioning of the infection risk between occupational and non-occupational exposure. It is argued that most TB infections among health care workers are work-related. A 0.2% overall annual risk of TB infection is proposed as acceptable, because in the context of an infection surveillance programme it limits the cumulative disease risk faced by health care workers close to the value for the general United States population. Based on the probability framework, an estimate of the background community infection rate and the traditional Wells-Riley risk model it is shown that a target workplace infection risk value can be derived and applied to risk management decision making.
