37 The spectrum and severity of adverse respiratory health effects of the inhaled pollutants may vary from subclinical effects to premature mortality, 38 depending on the degree of exposure by various occupations, environmental factors, sociodemographics and population sensitivities.
6 Many environmental and lifestyle factors, including several occupations, environmental carcinogens, and diet, are reportedly associated with an increased risk of glioma, but the only factor unequivocally associated with an increased risk is both low-dose and high-dose therapeutic ionizing radiation.
This case control study was conducted among lifetime nonsmoking men between 1990 and 1996 in Germany to examine lung cancer risk in relation to occupation, environmental tobacco smoke, residential radon, family history of cancer and previous lung disease.
A questionnaire was administered that requested detailed information on occupation, environmental exposures to solvents and pesticides, past and current tobacco and alcohol use, past and current medical history including recent infections, diagnostic and therapeutic ionizing radiation exposure, medication use, family history, and a food frequency questionnaire developed for use in northern China.
Research undertaken over the past 20 years on both Quaternary fluvial and loess sequences of this area has provided a unique dataset for the study of the relations between human occupations and environmental variations.
Numerous other substances, occupations, and environmental exposures have been linked to lung cancer.
Information on infant mortality rates, and indices of urbanization, occupation, occupational conditions, environmental pollution and socio-economic status in the years 2005 2011 were obtained from the Central Statistical Office of Poland.
The establishment of bioenergy plantations is a very efficient way of reducing CO2 emissions as far as land occupation and environmental impacts per functional unit are concerned.
Exposure to Mn has also increased through occupation and environmental settings.
Baseline socioeconomic (education and occupation) and environmental (source of drinking water and type of toilet facilities) factors were collected during the initial census and in follow-up rounds.
Contributions of these compounds from drinking water, occupation, or environmental sources were not calculated, although estimates of nitrate intake from drinking water are currently being developed for NBDPS participants in Iowa and Texas.
