Occupational exposure and its mechanistic link to allergic asthma and lung function decline; a data-driven approach coupled to mining of adverse outcome pathway signatures Open
Within occupational epidemiology, the establishment of associations between chemical exposures and health outcome, in particular of individual chemicals present in the exposome, is difficult. Epidemiological studies are valuable but may be…

Capturing occupational risk of airborne disease: An international job-exposure matrix based on five exposure factors Open
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to construct a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for the risk of being infected by infectious agents through airborne or droplet transmission in an occupational setting, which might lead to a respiratory disease. METHOD…

Occupational exposure to respirable crystalline quartz and the risk of incident acute myocardial infarction Open
We aimed to investigate the association between occupational exposure to respirable crystalline quartz (RCQ) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a Danish register-based cohort (DOC*X Dust, n = 903,415). Through 1976-2017, information …

A systematic review of the relation between ten potential occupational sensitizing exposures and asthma Open
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review was to identify, evaluate, and synthesize the relation between ten potential occupational sensitizing exposure groups and asthma. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in three d…

A quantitative solar ultraviolet radiation job-exposure matrix for Europe Open
Introduction Outdoor workers are exposed to high levels of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR). UVR causes skin cancer and is a risk factor for cataract and other short- and long-term health effects, but there are significant knowledge gaps …

Occupational exposure to diesel engine exhaust and first-time acute myocardial infarction: a nationwide register-based cohort study 1976–2018 Open
Aims Exposure to air pollution including diesel engine exhaust (DEE) is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Few studies have investigated the risk of AMI according to occupational exposure to DEE. The aim o…

Microbial exposure during recycling of domestic waste: a cross-sectional study of composition and associations with inflammatory markers Open
Objectives This study aims to investigate (1) the microbial community composition by work characteristics and (2) the association between microbial genera level and inflammatory markers among recycling workers. Methods In this cross-sectio…

Lower chlorinated PCBs accumulate in demolition workers while working on a contaminated worksite Open
Several buildings in a Danish social housing estate exceeded indoor air guidance values for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), leading to their demolition. Here, we conducted a biomonitoring study among the workers on-site (n = 24) to evalu…

Associations between bioaerosols, lung function work-shift changes and inflammatory markers: A study of recycling workers Open
OBJECTIVES: We investigated associations between bioaerosol exposures and work-shift changes in lung function and inflammatory markers among recycling workers. METHODS: Inhalable dust was measured with personal samplers and analyzed for en…
