Opis:

There are data showing clinical experience as disadvantageous for the quality of mental health assessment. On the other hand, according to American Psychological Association standards of evidence-based practice in psychology, clinical experience is one of the fundamental factors in professional psychological practice. The paper presents this controversy in the context of relevant psychological knowledge and empirical data. The conclusions are as follows: (1) the valuable input that clinical experience may bring to mental health assessment is intuitive thinking; (2) habitual cognitive errors and mindlessness, which are the possible side effects of long-lasting diagnostic practice, can be reduced by means of careful self-monitoring of the assessment process. A practical self-monitoring procedure is suggested.

Introduction: Health perception is a complex issue and determined by various factors. When assessing health there are positive, negative and intermediate measurements, as well as health indicators including the following criteria: subjective, objective and social. Purpose: To determine the relationship between subjective health assessment, physical fitness and cardiorespiratory fitness. Materials and Methods: The study included 1.000 high school adolescents from Poland and Ukraine. Two questionnaires were used in the study: an original questionnaire, and a standardized 20 m shuttle run test with PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run), enabling indirect assess of VO2 max. Results: Significant differences between subjective health assessment, physical fitness and cardiorespiratory fitness were found. The best health self-assessment and physical fitness, the best cardiorespiratory fitness results were obtained among adolescents. Polish youth better assessed their health in comparison to the peers from Ukraine. Conclusions: There is a relation between subjective health assessment and the objective parameters. When measuring health state of individuals or groups it is worth consider a subjective criterion of health.

Concept of Health Impact Assessment and its application in European Union. Private sector dimensionAccording to the WHO definition Health Impact Assessment (HIA) refers to “procedures, methods and tools by which a policy, programme  or project may be judged as to its potential effects on the health of the population and the distribution of those effects within the population”. HIA has emerged from weather forecasts and is founding much  broader use. It helps to identify the factors, which have a potential impact on health. HIA may be relevant for all sectors to determine the effects, also unintentional, of their policies and actions on health and it has the potential to bring greater transparency to the decision-making process. Usually, it is very important to be able to foresee future health related effects, also by clarifying the nature of trade-offs in policy. Comparing and judging wanted and unwanted results is essential to choose a possibly best alternative and avoid harm. In European Union where modern tools to rationalize decision making process are broadly accepted HIA has been welcomed, at least in declarations. Although some approaches to assess actions targeted at environment have been formalized and are binding, but others, including HIA, still depend on good will of partners involved. Both member countries and institutions are a bit reserved to use HIA. Insufficient popularity of HIA may result from scarce educational opportunities but also from deficit in well grounded scientific evidence.

INTRODUCTION Health is a fundamental value of every human being. Individualized health behaviors, acquired during socialization, with time become conscious decisions. Therefore, the analysis of health evaluation is an important element in assessing the health awareness of university students. The aim of the study was to analyze health as a value in the assessment of students from the Podkarpackie voivodeship. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research was carried out among 690 students from the Podkarpackie voivodeship. It was also conducted using a survey made on the basis of the List of Health Criteria. All the obtained results were later subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS The research found that the surveyed students place the utmost importance on health understood as “property”, “process” and “objective” and health as a “state” and “result” occurred a bit further down on the list. . Being healthy in the opinion of the respondents is primarily “not feel any physical ailments”, “ have all wellfunctioning body parts ”, “able to get along with other people”, “accept yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses ” and “feel good”, and ”live to a ripe old age”. In contrast, less important was “feel happy most of the time”, “ able to enjoy life” and “no smoking” and “ eat properly.” CONCLUSIONS Assessing the significance and evaluation of health is an important element in assessing the health awareness of students. Determining the health behavior deficits of young people studying enables one to distinguish the students who should be included in education in the field of health promotion.
W S T Ę P Zdrowie jest podstawową wartością każdego człowieka. Zindywidualizowane zachowania zdrowotne, nabywane w okresie socjalizacji, z czasem stają się świadomymi wyborami. Dlatego analiza wartościowania zdrowia jest ważnym elementem oceny świadomości prozdrowotnej młodzieży studiującej. Celem pracy była analiza zdrowia jako wartości w ocenie studentów z województwa podkarpackiego MATERI A Ł I M E T O D Y Badaniami objęto 690 studentów z województwa podkarpackiego. Badania przeprowadzono z zastosowaniem ankiety własnego autorstwa oraz standaryzowanego narzędzia badawczego – Listy Kryteriów Zdrowia (LKZ). Uzyskane wyniki badań poddano analizie statystycznej. WYNIKI Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że badani studenci najwyższą wagę przypisują zdrowiu rozumianemu jako „właściwość”, „proces” i „cel”, zaś zdrowie jako „stan” i „wynik” zajmuje nieco dalsze miejsce. Być zdrowym, w opinii badanych, to przede wszystkim „nie odczuwać żadnych dolegliwości fizycznych”, „mieć sprawne wszystkie części ciała”, „potrafić dobrze współżyć z innymi ludźmi”, „akceptować siebie, znać swoje możliwości i braki” oraz „czuć się dobrze” i „dożyć późnej starości”. Natomiast mniej ważne są „czuć się szczęśliwym przez większość czasu”, „umieć się cieszyć z życia” oraz „nie palić tytoniu” i „należycie się odżywiać”. WNIOSKI Ocena znaczenia i wartościowania zdrowia jest ważnym elementem oceny świadomości prozdrowotnej studentów. Ustalenie deficytów zachowań zdrowotnych młodzieży studiującej umożliwia wyodrębnienie studentów, którzy powinni być objęci edukacją w zakresie promocji zdrowia.

Opis:

Objectives The Health Impact Assessment (HIA) was conducted to evaluate the potential community health implications of a proposed oil drilling and production project in Hermosa Beach, California. The HIA considered 17 determinants of health that fell under 6 major categories (i.e., air quality, water and soil quality, upset conditions, noise and light emissions, traffic, and community livability). Material and Methods This paper attempts to address some of the gaps within the HIA practice by presenting the methodological approach and results of this transparent, comprehensive HIA; specifically, the evaluation matrix and decision-making framework that have been developed for this HIA and form the basis of the evaluation and allow for a clear conclusion to be reached in respect of any given health determinant (i.e., positive, negative, neutral). Results There is a number of aspects of the project that may positively influence health (e.g., increased education funding, ability to enhance green space), and at the same time there have been potential negative effects identified (e.g., odor, blowouts, property values). Except for upset conditions, the negative health outcomes have been largely nuisance-related (e.g., odor, aesthetics) without irreversible health impacts. The majority of the health determinants, that had been examined, have revealed that the project would have no substantial effect on the health of the community. Conclusions Using the newly developed methodology and based on established mitigation measures and additional recommendations provided in the HIA, the authors have concluded that the project will have no substantial effect on community health. This approach and methodology will assist practitioners, stakeholders and decision-makers in advancing the HIA as a useful, reproducible, and informative tool.

Opis:

Health policy and HTASet of procedures referred to as Health Technology Assessment (HTA) becomes more and more popular among health policy makers in many. There are two factors contributing to this process. Firstly, it is universal access to health services and their guaranteed financing from public  esources.Secondly, a pressure exerted by manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment who looks for profit. The choice which is to be made by decision makers is difficult. If new technologies are implemented too late – there are losses in health and a dissatisfaction of citizens is growing. If they are implemented to hastily, without necessary tests, there are losses in health again and public payer has to pay – and waste – a lot of money. HTA opens a way to make more rational decisions.

Objectives Universities played a significant role in meeting the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, with both students and staff having to identify and use available coping resources. The main aim of the study was to describe the academic community’s experiences of the pandemic and their impact on health and wellbeing. Related variables were also explored, such as sense of coherence (SOC), gratitude, and subjective health assessment (SHA). Material and Methods During the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, an online questionnaire was sent to the community of the Medical University of Lodz. It included 4 open-ended questions on ways to remain healthy during the pandemic. The responses (N = 144) were analyzed using a general inductive approach. For the purpose of this study, the resource utilization rate (RUR) was defined and calculated based on the number of categories with responses indicating resource usage. Additionally, a Polish adaptation of the 29-item Sense of Coherence scale (SOC-29), the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6), and subjective health assessment were measured. Correlations between variables were calculated. Results The main areas of resource identification and utilization were interpersonal relationships, views of reality, physical activity, pleasure activities, social contacts, and healthy diet. Physical activity has been found to be the most commonly-reported strategy of taking care of both health and emotional state more frequently among students than employees (p < 0.01). The RUR was strongly associated with SOC in male employees (ρ = 0.7, p < 0.05) and with GQ-6 in both male and female student groups (ρ = 0.56, p < 0.05 and ρ = 0.28, p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions Relationships between RUR and SOC seem to be gender- and age-related. The relationships between health and resource utilization are worth exploring in the university setting.

Opis:

Health policy as a process and as activities in the sphere of public responsibility may cause different evaluation problems but at the same time the proper and reliable assessment should be understood as the essential interest of the engaged stakeholders: government at different levels, payers, providers and patients as well. The paper concerns the problem of difficulties influencing the research focused on the health policy description aiming at the indication of the most important factors, effects, possible development dimensions that may significantly change the health system. The methodology in this case is also a complicated issue: quite often based on the instruments typical for social disciplines but not completely applicable for the presented subject. The paper describes the new innovative and universal tool for the purpose of the analysis aiming at reliable and comparable health policy assessment, it presents the stages and objectives of such evaluation and the perspectives of the HPA matrix development both for research and for didactic purposes.

Opis:

Głównym celem artykułu była ocena odporności finansowej przedsiębiorstw sektora rolno-spożywczego działających w województwie mazowieckim w latach 2018–2020. Celem pośrednim była dodatkowo ocena kondycji finansowej tych podmiotów. Wykorzystane metody badawcze obejmowały: metody statystyki opisowej, analizę wskaźnikową oraz model dyskryminacji Tafflera. Dane empiryczne pochodziły z rocznych sprawozdań finansowych pobranych z baz danych Dun & Bradstreet oraz EMIS. Jak wykazały wyniki badań autorów, w latach 2018–2020 większość podmiotów sektora rolno-spożywczego radziła sobie bardzo dobrze i występowało małe prawdopodobieństwo, że ich sytuacja finansowa ulegnie pogorszeniu. Jednocześnie niepokojące jest to, że w analizowanym okresie utrzymywała się dość znaczna liczba przedsiębiorstw rolniczych, u których istniało wysokie prawdopodobieństwo pojawienia się problemów finansowych (Z-score poniżej 0,2). Ta grupa przedsiębiorstw stanowiła około 30% próby. Podmioty charakteryzujące się wysokim ryzykiem wystąpienia problemów finansowych zmagały się ze znaczną nadpłynnością finansową i odnotowywały ujemne wskaźniki rentowności – ROS i ROA. Zadłużenie aktywów było czynnikiem wzmacniającym odporność finansową analizowanych podmiotów. Wyniki uzyskanych analiz mogą być podstawą do pogłębienia metod oceny odporności w sektorze rolnym (m.in. w ramach ewaluacji WPR 2023–2027). Przyszłe badania powinny obejmować m.in. zidentyfikowanie różnic w wartości Z-score w zależności od wielkości przedsiębiorstwa czy typu produkcyjnego, a także zidentyfikowanie czynników determinujących odporność finansową, pod kątem innych czynników, które nie zostały jeszcze przeanalizowane.
The main objective of the article was to assess the financial resilience of agri-food companies operating in the Mazowieckie Voivodship between 2018 and 2020. An intermediate objective was additionally to assess the financial health of these entities. The study used descriptive statistics methods, ratio analysis, and Taffler’s discrimination model. Empirical data were derived from annual financial statements downloaded from Dun & Bradstreet and EMIS databases. The results showed that between 2018 and 2020, most entities in the agri-food sector were doing very well and there was a low probability that their financial situation would deteriorate. It is worrying that during the period under analysis, there remained a considerable number of agri-food enterprises with a high probability of financial problems (Z-score below 0.2). This group of enterprises accounted for approximately 30% of the sample. Entities with an elevated risk of financial problems struggled with significant excess liquidity and recorded negative profitability ratios – ROS and ROA. Asset indebtedness was a factor strengthening the financial resilience of the entities under analysis. The results of the analyses can be the basis for deepening the methods for assessing resilience in the agricultural sector (e.g., as part of the CAP 2023–2027 evaluation). Future research should include, inter alia, the identification of differences in Z-score by company size or production type, as well as the identification of determinants of financial resilience in terms of other factors that have not been analyzed yet.

The article discusses the tools used for air quality management in the health resorts in Poland including legal instruments, documents and activities at the regional and local level with an example of formal and legal activities, such as the so-called anti-smog resolution to limit the emission of air pollutants from the municipal and housing sectors and thus minimize the risk related to air pollution. The issue of pollution emission resulting from the spatial conditions, including spatial planning, was also indicated. The analysis of the results pertaining to the PM₁₀ measurements from 2017–2018 available for the resorts in Lower Silesia with reference to selected resorts in other regions of Poland and the health risk assessment according to the concentration-response functions for the PM-based on longand short-term relative risk estimates derived from epidemiological studies were conducted. The exposure assessment was based on the available mathematical modelling results for the PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentration distributions, which was performed using the CALPUFF model for 2017. In the case of average risk indicators, the obtained values indicated that the values (for all the stays and areas of all zones (total A, B and C) peaked for the Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój health resort (over 1.1% per annum) and were lowest for Czerniawa and Świeradów-Zdrój (about 0.7%). The highest relative risk indicators in 2017 were observed for cardiovascular diseases for the first two stays in January / February (for the Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój health resort – over 5%) and for both December stays (over 2.5%). In other health resorts, the risk indicators were significantly lower. The lowest health risk indicators were observed in July, regardless of the location of the health resort and the analysed health effect (rarely exceeding 0.3%). The scale of risk in this case was much higher compared to the short-term risk.

Opis:

Ogrody pracownicze lub rodzinne, zwane potocznie działkami lub ogrodami działkowymi, są bardzo popularnym miejscem wypoczynku i rekreacji mieszkańców miast. Niejednokrotnie wykorzystywane są także w amatorskiej uprawie warzyw i owoców. Z uwagi na spełniane funkcje powinny być zlokalizowane na obszarach wolnych od zanieczyszczeń powietrza, gleb oraz wód gruntowych. Niestety, w większości polskich aglomeracji ogrody działkowe są rozmieszczone w okolicach zakładów przemysłowych, tras komunikacyjnych oraz na terenach poddanych rekultywacji, gdzie często obserwuje się zanieczyszczenie metalami ciężkimi i innymi substancjami.
The paper assesses the human health risk for users of allotment gardens in Wrocław. The assessment is made on the basis of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn) hazard. It takes the two main routes of exposure into account: accidental ingestion of contaminated soil and dermal contact with contaminated soil. Attention was focused on recreational scenario of hazard. The methods used have been recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Results of the analysis show the highest value of the hazard index can be observed for children, in the allotment gardens located in Wroclaw – Grabiszyn, in the area of environmental impact of Hutmen factory.

Przykładem zmian technologicznych w medycynie jest intensywny rozwój małoinwazyjnych technik chirurgicznych, w tym technik laparoskopowych. Biorąc pod uwagę korzyści uzyskiwane przez pacjenta w wyniku leczenia laparoskopowego, naturalną tendencją powinno być ich zastosowanie w miejsce metod otwartych. Niestety dla osób zarządzających placówkami zdrowia priorytetem jest minimalizacja kosztów wykonywanych procedur medycznych. Z tego względu, celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza porównawcza kosztów wybranych zabiegów chirurgicznych wykonywanych metodą otwartą i laparoskopową. Uzyskane wyniki są częściowo zaskakujące, gdyż kwestionują przekonanie, że koszt wykonania zabiegów laparoskopowych przekracza koszt identycznych zabiegów wykonywanych metodą otwartą.
The aim of Health Technology Assessment is to support activities intended to form politics as well as economic analysis in medicine and hence rational allocation of resources which are necessary for developing medical technologies. An example of technological changes in medicine is an intensive development of minimally invasive surgical techniques including laparoscopic techniques. Taking into account the great benefits of laparoscopic treatment for patient the natural tendency should be the change of open surgeries to minimal invasive procedures. However the problem of conflicts costs-benefits is indicated by health managers, for whom the procedures’ costs are treated as a priority. Taking this as a background for considerations, there was formulated the research objective that is a comparative analysis of selected surgical procedures performed in open method and laparoscopy. The outcomes are partly surprising and questioned the hypothetical rule that the cost of performing laparoscopic procedures exceed the cost of identical procedures, but executed with open method.

Opis:

One of the most important air contaminants in Krakow is particulate matter (PM), especially during winter months. Deposited PM was sampled between November 2014 and January 2015 and November 2015 and January 2016. The PM deposition amounted to 0.0646 g/m2 per day in the centre of Krakow and 0.0328 g/m2 in the northern district of the city. The allowed value of annual dust deposits (0.547 g/m2 per day) was not exceeded. The XRD and SEM-EDS analysis showed that quartz, calcite, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, kaolinite, and gypsum were the main mineralogical components of the deposited PM. Only in a few samples were illite, dolomite, and apatite observed. Significant concentrations were measured (ICP-MS) for Ca, Fe, Mg, Al, K, Si, Na, and Mn, and high concentrations for Ti, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, Cr, Ti, V, Li, Sr and Ni. The highest estimated daily intakes (EDI) for resuspended PM, were stated for ingestion exposure pathway than for dermal contact, and finally for inhalation, both for children and adults, as well as, for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic elements. The mean hazard quotient (HQ) values for all three exposure pathways decreased in the following order: Fe > Al > Zn > Mn > Sr > Cu > Ba > Cr > Pb > V > Ni > Li > As > Sn > Zr > Co > Cd > Be, for children and adults. The hazard index values for all elements in each exposure pathway (HIelem) and for single elements in all exposure pathways (HIpath) were <1, both for children and adults. The risk values from all three exposure pathways were unacceptable in the case of Cr, both for children and adults, and in the case of As for children. The total non-carcinogenic risk (HItotal) values in all three exposure pathways for all elements were <1, however in case of children the risk value pointed to a low risk level. The total carcinogenic risk (Rtotal) values in all three exposure pathways for As and Cr exceeded the acceptable level, both for children and adults.

Opis:

The article seeks to review the standards (emission and immission) and legal solutions relating to odour-active compounds, as well asanalyse the variability in the number of farmed animals and the emission of ammonia in Poland and Ukraine. Furthermore, the article characterizesodour emission factors, methods of health risk assessment, ways of limiting emission of odorous compounds from animal farming facilities. The analysis indicated the necessity of applying good practices available in reference documents – including those drawn up by environmental agencies – and scientific works, as such practices may significantly contribute to minimising the impact of animal farming facilities on people and the environment. The introduction of, inter alia, immission standards (reference values) expressed in ouE/m3 in the legal regimes of the EU and Ukraine would also render it possible to carry out an assessment of odours treated as a mixture present in ambient air and optimise the assessment of odour nuisance and thus the discomfort directly affecting the well-being and health of inhabitants of areas in the vicinity of farming facilities.

Opis:

Health care staff who operate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices are exposed to a static magnetic field of significant spatial heterogenity always produced by MRI magnets during the whole shift. They can also be exposed to pulses of a time-varying magnetic field (gradient field) present only during patients’ examinations. The level of the workers’ exposure depends both on the type of the magnet and on the ergonomic design of each MRI device. The paper presents methods used for measuring and assessing workers’ exposure. It also discusses the results of inspection measurements carried out next to approximately 20 MRI devices of approximately 0.2–2.0 T. The presented characteristic and overview of the variability of workers’ exposure to a variety of MRI devices supports the need for data on monitoring occupational exposure to MRI. International exposure assessment standards and guidelines (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection [ICNIRP], Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers [IEEE], American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists [ACGIH], European Commission directive), and those established in Poland are also compared.

Opis:

ObjectivesCompanies that understand the collective health risks of their employees, as well as worker productivity as it relates to health risks can provide more effective and necessary interventions. Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) are an important source of information for understanding overall health risks of a company’s employees. However, HRA data tend to represent only a subset of employees, thereby providing employers an incomplete picture of employee health risks. The current study identifies the representativeness of those completing a worksite HRA by selected demographics, health care costs, and health risks in a large US company.Material and MethodsA retrospective analysis of employees in a large US company during 2017–2019, with statistically significant results reported, adjusted for sex, age, and year.ResultsThe percentage of employees completing the HRA increased from 23.9% in 2017 to 28.4% in 2018 to 32.3% in 2019. These employees were more likely women, middle aged, have lower health care costs, remain employed from year to year, and have better health behaviors and biometric scores. If all employees looked like employees completing the HRA, total medical costs would be 17% lower. If all employees looked like employees completing the HRA who had a health perception rating (1–10 [excellent]) of 7–8 (57.4%) or 9–10 (25.2%) vs. 1–6, total medical costs would be 21.9% and 25.6% lower, respectively.ConclusionsA minority of employees completed the worksite HRA. Basing overall employee health risks on the HRA underestimates health risks and can result in a poorly representative health intervention program.

Opis:

The aim of the study was to investigate the content of trace elements in deposited particulate matter and to estimate the health risk to Kraków inhabitants, caused by the exposure to heavy metals in particulate matter deposition. The qualitative and quantitative assessments of selected heavy metals in deposited particulate matter have been carried out in the city of Kraków (Małopolska, southern Poland, 5 measuring points) for seven months, between February and September 2017. A comparative study was conducted at the same time in Małopolska (5 measuring points). The deposited particulate matter was collected gravitationally, using measurement plates covered with aluminum foil and paraffin jelly. The largest deposition of particulate matter was found in May and June. The highest amount of deposited particulate matter and metals present in it was determined in Kraków. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) evaluation for non-carcinogenic effect showed low risk for each metal. In the case of lead in particulate matter, the carcinogenic risk value did not reach 10−6 hence this risk is acceptable. The total carcinogenic risk for all routes of exposure to cadmium was higher, indicating the risk of cancer in children and adults, with children more exposed. However, the carcinogenic risk for cadmium was also acceptable. The study showed that the problem of poor air quality concerns not only the city of Kraków, but also the entire Małopolska region. Elevated metal concentrations in particulate matter indicate the need for monitoring it in the air.

Opis:

One of the main problems in the scope of public health is poor identification of the waterborne diseases and their etiology. One of the aims of the new directive concerning the quality of water intended for human consumption is to implement the principles of hazard assessment in water supply systems (WSS) in the member states, on the basis of water quality monitoring and analyses of the system functioning conditions. The implementation of risk management procedures in WSSs is to ensure an increase in the water supply safety and, in turn, protect the consumer’s health against the harmful effects of any potable water contamination. At present, the secondary legislation to the Polish acts implementing the Directive of the Council of Europe is the Regulation of the Minister of Health on the quality of water intended for human consumption, which also sets forth the scope of monitoring the quality of hot water for Legionella spp., which can be an etiological factor of legionellosis. Another act regulating the water quality in terms of Legionella spp. is the Regulation of the Minister of Health on water quality in swimming pools. These acts, referring to the parameter of Legionella spp., are complementary. This paper presents the results of evaluating the change in the sanitary status of hot water quality in terms of contamination with Legionella spp. bacteria in the selected swimming pool facilities in southern Poland (Silesian Voivodship). On the basis of the available water quality test from state inspections (Chief Sanitary Inspectorate), an analysis of the microbiological quality of hot water in swimming pools was conducted. The analyses included a spatial distribution of those facilities, which results from the regionalisation subject to the territorially competent public health authority exercising supervision over the water quality in the Silesian Voivodship. The methods were presented for determination of the health risk of swimming pool users as a result of contamination of swimming pool water with Legionella spp. in relation to the availability of a given recreation facility. The final result of these studies is the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) tools in spatial risk interpretation.

Background. The main job of employees working in the area of fuel service stations is to provide refueling services to customers. Therefore, operators at petrol stations may be exposed to chemicals for long periods, potentially affecting their health in nervous system. Objectives. This study aims to assess the risk of benzene exposure to the nervous system in gas station operators. Data were collected from 100 fuel service personnel working at fuel dispensers and 100 employees working outside fuel dispensers, accounting to 200 cases. Material and methods. Data were collected using interview questionnaires. Urine samples were used for the analysis of t,t-muconic acid. Results. The results showed that t,t-muconic acid concentration is 431.23 ± 233.69 μg/g.cr (449.28 ± 213.32 μg/g.cr at fuel dispensers vs 413.18 ± 252.20 μg/g.cr outside fuel dispensers). The risk characterization results showed that most of the risks were at level 1 (low risk), as observed in 108 people (54.0%). The results of the analysis of the relationship between t,t-muconic acid concentrations classified by 3 levels of percentile and neurological disorders of the study group, the results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship (p-value <0.05). Conclusion. Therefore, the benzene neurotoxic risk assessment model could be utilized in field practice.

Opis:

Constantly increasing rate of drugs’ consumption can be related with environmental abundance of drug substances and their degradation products. Unused and used drugs are often discharged into municipal wastewaters or landfills. Wastewater treatment plants are not able to remove the entire load of drugs. Especially those which occur occasionally or at very low concentrations. Therefore, a variety of pharmaceuticals occur in surface and drinking water sources. A chronic low-level exposure to drugs occurring in a water environment can cause: antibiotic resistance, allergic reactions (eg. Penicillin), cause carcinogenesis (oxytetracycline, furazolidone), nephropathy (gentamicin) and have a negative impact on the natural human intestinal microflora. Therefore, it is not an easy task to assess a common human health effects related with chronic exposure to low doses of active pharmaceutical substances. Nonetheless, such knowledge seems essential in order to undertake preventive actions that would substantially decrease the level of health risk.

Opis:

Purpose: Water is vital for the sustenance of every life form. Urbanization, growing population and industrial development has led to exploitation of water resources globally. This study assesses quality of water resources of Mohammedia prefecture. Design/methodology/approach: The water quality analysis was carried out based on physio-chemical and heavy metal concentrations. The physio-chemical analysis comprised of status of concentration, overall quality and water pollution index evaluation. The heavy metal evaluation consisted of Ecological Risk Index, non-carcinogenic risk and carcinogenic risk assessment. Findings: The landfill near Ben Nfifikh River reported insignificant (WPI<1) – low level of pollution (>1≤1.5) for surface and groundwater points. However, the groundwater for Zenata region was found to pose both carcinogenic (CRt > 0.0001, range 0.4-35.31) and non-carcinogenic risks (HQ>1, range 6 -34) of higher degree rendering it unfit for human consumption. Hence, this study concludes that groundwater resources should not as water supply; instead, Oud El Maleh River can serve as surface water source for meeting requirements of Zenata region. Research limitations/implications: The data obtained can be categorized as landfill area near river Nfifikh and landfill area near river El Maleh. Both areas have been investigated for groundwater and surface water quality assessment. Practical implications: This study demonstrates the need to study the characteristics of groundwater (depth, flow rate, water renewal, etc.) before arranging a waste dump. This problem is especially relevant for arid countries, since residents experience a shortage of water, as well as a lack of rainfall provides a weak renewal of groundwater, which can contribute to the accumulation of a higher concentration of carcinogens in groundwater and provide a high risk to public health. If policymakers in arid countries and decision-makers have effective water quality maps, then the country can be more efficiently managed water resources without risking the population. Originality/value: The current study is planned as a multi-stage, each of which is supposed to conduct field studies of groundwater and surface water quality with appropriate parameters, analysis of institutional reports and related scientific studies in order to create an effective water quality map for rational water use.

ObjectivesThe objective of this research is to determine the change in outdoor air quality during the COVID‑19 related state of emergency resulting in a lockdown and the potential health benefits for the urban population.Material and MethodsDuring 53 days of the COVID‑19 related state of emergency with a lockdown (March 15–May 6, 2020) in the Republic of Serbia, as well as in the corresponding periods of 2018 and 2019, data on the daily sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ground-level ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) concentrations were analyzed. The total mortality data were analyzed to estimate the impact of the COVID‑19 related lockdown measures on the burden of health in a given population, attributed to the outdoor air quality in the City of Novi Sad, using AirQ+ software.ResultsThe average daily concentrations of PM2.5, NO2, PM10 and SO2 were reduced by 35%, 34%, 23% and 18%, respectively. In contrast, the average daily concentration of O3 increased by 8%, even if the primary precursors were reducing, thus representing a challenge for air quality management. In the City of Novi Sad, a reduction in the average daily PM2.5 concentration of 11.23 μg/m³ was significant, which resulted in a quantified number of avoided deaths.ConclusionsAir pollution in the City of Novi Sad had a chance to be improved due to some preventive measures related to the infectious disease (the COVID‑19 related lockdown), which in turn was the mitigation measure to air pollution with positive public health effects. The confirmed positive effects of the improved air quality on public health could also include raising collective resistance to mass non-communicable and infectious diseases such as COVID‑19 and reducing economic costs.

Opis:

The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the multi-criteria methods with tools that are effective for decision-making in complementary or alternative medicine (CAM). This approach, in combination with other available methods, such as the Utrecht Method, allows medical professionals and patients themselves to take a balanced choice of special treatment and health control. This is particularly important for pregnant women who suffer from nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP). The mechanisms of toxicosis occur, and the way of treatment have certain uncertainties. The decision-making process for therapeutic care must consider several factors, the determination of which is the result of collaboration between the patient and the healthcare provider. This paper presents the results of a decision-making study regarding the use of the ginger medicinal plant in helping a woman with NVP symptoms. The research was conducted using the original questionnaire according to the methodology proposed by the developers of the Utrecht Method. The chosen respondents were healthcare professionals with experience in treating NVP and pregnant women. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) capabilities in decisionmaking were shown in an example of analyzing the benefits, risks, and side effects of using ginger during pregnancy. The combination of two methodological approaches allowed to successfully connect the proven facts of using CAM therapy with the subjective assessment of all stakeholders. The study demonstrates that this approach successfully uses decision-making by structuring hierarchical decision elements and weighing the criteria involved in the decision-making issue. The article examines the practicality and effectiveness of using AHP when making decisions regarding the treatment and improvement of the condition of pregnant women with NVP, and summarizes the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the effectiveness of this method. The presented combination of two methodological approaches in decision-making allows for choosing an optimized medical strategy for supporting pregnant women through CAM therapy.

Opis:

We used spider webs as a particulate matter (PM) sampler to assess the possible health risk to the inhabitants of Legnica city (Poland). We aimed to find out if it is a useful material and could provide reliable information. We selected two spider families (Agelenidae and Linyphiidae) whose webs structure enhances the PM accumulation. The collected particles were analysed using a Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) which provided morphological and chemical information and allowed to indicate possible sources of pollution. The results showed that PM10, the fraction of particles smaller than 10 µm, was dominated by the particles of natural origin, while fine fractions were composed of diverse anthropogenic particles, whose origin can be connected with the activity of the copper smelter and in smaller quantity with the road traffic. The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risk was assessed for these pathways: inhalation, ingestion, and dermal, for children and adults. The non-carcinogenic risk was very high (Hazard Index: HI > 1) both for children (Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd) and adults (Cu, As, Pb, Cd). Moreover, high carcinogenic risk (>10-4) was found in most of the sampling points. The study shows that spider webs are useful in biomonitoring of PM and can also be used for health risk assessment. In the studied region, it was found that the possible negative impact of air pollution on human health exists.

Opis:

Physical fitness and health are two concepts that more and more evidence show their close relationship. The main aim of this paper is to provide an assessment protocol accessible, affordable and easy to apply, to assess fitness and health. To test the protocol, a total amount of 115 participants (59 men and 56 women) aged 25.9 years were assessed. The assessment protocol is designed and tested for application in a population over 18 years of age. It was used to assess the University of Balearic Islands community users. Based on evidence and validated tests (Alpha and Afisal test batteries, Stepping Queen College Test), the following measures for the design of the protocol for assessing the level of fitness and health were recorded: anthropometry (weight, BMI, body fat, waist circumference), fitness (lower extremity strength, upper body endurance, hand grip strength, maximum oxygen intake, flexibility), and blood pressure. The assessment protocol include the previous action of the reception of the participant (explanation and administering of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) and an ending action where a report of the results obtained and individual recommendations to improve the overall fitness and health level is provided to each participant.

Opis:

Assessments of public swimming pools in Owerri municipal, Imo state, Nigeria was carried out for the purpose of determining the suitability of water for swimming in this fun loving town of Nigeria. Five public pools were selected by purposive sampling from more than 30 pools in the area. Water samples were collected in the morning and evening from pools and analyzed in triplicates for physicochemical properties and heavy metals content by using standard method for water analysis and Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. Data obtained were compared with WHO and EPA standards for drinking and recreational water and modeled on the Water Quality Index (WQI). Results revealed that pH ranged from 7.10±0.02 to 8.1±1.27 pH units, EC ranged from 40 ±3.11 µS/cm to 80±3.44 µS/cm, COD value ranged from 0.08±0.07 to 1.02 ±0.91, BOD value ranged from 0.03±0.02 to 3.14±0.13, dissolved oxygen (DO) ranged 3.9±1.77 mg/kg to 9.3±2.41 mg/kg, suspended solids ranged from 6.43±8.21 mg/l to 42.44±7.00 mg/l, total dissolved solids (TDS) ranged from 22±2.90 mg/l to 97.98±8.79 mg/l. The major cations were below the standard. Nitrate ranged from 0.91±0.02 mg/l to 0.96 mg/l, sulphate ranged from 2.34±0.10 mg/l to 2.81±0.11mg/l, phosphate ranged from 0.34±0.02 mg/l to 0.65±0.02 mg/l while chloride ranged from 12.75±1.89 mg/l to 31.89±2.04 mg/l with mean 24.23 mg/l. Except for chloride, all other studied anions were lower than the permissible limit set by WHO/EPA. Concentration of lead (Pb), iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) were also below the permissible limit. The individual WQ indexes showed A (3.32), B (5.44), C (10.08), D (12.40) and E (9.77) with average WQI of 8.20 suggesting that the swimming pools are of “Excellent water quality”, thereby suggesting safe swimming pools for recreational activities in the study area. Values of exposure pathways for all metals at all swimming pools were less than one. Therefore there were no risks of heavy metals from the swimming pools.

Opis:

Policies can influence health of a population in various ways. Numerous epidemiological studies supported by toxicological investigations demonstrate a positive association between ambient concentrations of airborne particulate matter and increased adverse cardio-respiratory events, including morbidity and mortality. The aim of this paper was to present the concept of the top-down health policy risk assessment approach model developed to estimate the expected health risk reduction associated with policy aiming at attaining the new particulate matter ≤ 10 μm in diameter (PM 10) standards in Poland. The top-down approach guides the analysis of causal chains from the policy to health outcomes. In this case study we tried to estimate the predicted health effects of the policy change over the past 20 years. Since Polish annual standard for PM 10 changed from 50 μg/m³ in 1990 to 40 μg/m³ in 2010, we calculated the relative risk associated with decreasing PM 10 in diameter to 10 μg/m³ in the annual level of PM 10 for 6 adverse health effects. The relative risk slightly decreased for almost all adverse health effects, which means that the relative decrease in the incidence of health effects from the baseline incidence should range from about 0.5–0.6% for heart disease admissions to > 1% for respiratory admissions. The obtained results indicate that implementation of the new ambient air standards could influence improvement of the health status of Polish population. A top-down policy health risk assessment model can be one of the main tools in this process, providing harmonized guidance how to seek evidence-based information, which could serve policy-makers.

Opis:

Objectives Concentrations of particulate matter that contains particles with diameter ≤ 10 mm ($\text{PM}_\text{10}$) and diameter ≤ 2.5 mm ($\text{PM}_\text{2.5}$) as well as nitrogen dioxide ($\text{NO}_{2}$) have considerable impact on human mortality, especially in the cases when cardiovascular or respiratory causes are attributed. Additionally, they affect morbidity. An estimation of human mortality and morbidity due to the increased concentrations of $\text{PM}_\text{10}$, $\text{PM}_\text{2.5}$ and $\text{NO}_{2}$ between the years 2005–2013 was performed for the city of Kraków, Poland. For this purpose the Air Quality Health Impact Assessment Tool (AirQ) software was successfully applied. Material and Methods The Air Quality Health Impact Assessment Tool was used for the calculation of the total, cardiovascular and respiratory mortality as well as hospital admissions related to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Data on concentrations of $\text{PM}_\text{10}$, $\text{PM}_\text{2.5}$ and $\text{NO}_{2}$, which was obtained from the website of the Voivodeship Inspectorate for Environmental Protection (WIOS) in Kraków, was used in this study. Results Total mortality due to exposure to $\text{PM}_\text{10}$ in 2005 was found to be 41 deaths per 100 000 and dropped to 30 deaths per 100 000 in 2013. Cardiovascular mortality was 2 times lower than the total mortality. However, hospital admissions due to respiratory diseases were more than an order of magnitude higher than the respiratory mortality. Conclusions The calculated total mortality due to $\text{PM}_\text{2.5}$ was higher than that due to $\text{PM}_\text{10}$. Air pollution was determined to have a significant effect on human health. The values obtained by the use of the AirQ software for the city of Kraków imply that exposure to polluted air can result in serious health problems.

Objective. A risk assessment and dietary exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), lead and cadmium from bread, a common food consumed in Nigeria. Material and Methods. Sixty samples of bread were collected from different types of bakeries where the heat is generated by wood (42 samples) or by electricity (18 samples) from twenty bakeries located in Gusau Zamfara (B1- B14) and Port Harcourt Rivers States (B15-B20) in Nigeria. PAHs in bread were determined by gas chromatography. Lead and cadmium were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results. Non-carcinogenic PAHs pyrene (13.72 μg/kg) and genotoxic PAHs (PAH8), benzo[a]anthracene (9.13 μg/ kg) were at the highest concentrations. Total benzo[a]pyrene concentration of 6.7 μg/kg was detected in 100% of tested samples. Dietary intake of total PAHs ranged between 0.004-0.063 μg/kg bw. day-1 (children), 0.002-0.028 μg/kg day-1 (adolescents), 0.01-0.017 μg/kg day-1 (male), 0.002-0.027 μg/kg day-1 (female), and 0.002-0.025 μg/kg day-1 (seniors). The Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) for Pb and Cd were below 1. Lead ranged from 0.01-0.071 mg/kg with 10.85 and 100% of bread samples violating the permissible limit set by USEPA, WHO and EU respectively. Cadmium ranged from 0.01-0.03 mg/kg, with all bread samples below the permissible limits as set by US EPA, JECFA and EU. The daily intake of Pb and Cd ranged from 0.03-0.23 μg/kg bw day-1 and 0.033-0.36 μg/kg bw day-1 respectively. Incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) was 3.8 x 10-7. Conclusions. The levels of these contaminants in bread if not controlled might present a possible route of exposure to heavy metals and PAHs additional to the body burden from other sources.

Opis:

Background: Information about lead (Pb) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentrations in honey and their dietary intake is very important in human health risk assessment. Currently, there are paucity of data on the risk assessment and concentrations of lead and PAHs in honey in Nigeria. Objective: This study has determined the potential human health risk of lead and PAHs associated with the consumption of honey in Enugu state, Nigeria. Materials and methods: Lead and US EPA 16 priority PAHs in honey harvested from rural and urban communities in March 2016 were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer and Gas Chromatograph respectively. Carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk assessments were carried. Results: The mean concentration of Pb in honey ranged from 0.005 mg/kg – 0.08 mg/kg. The mean concentrations of 16 PAHs in honey ranged from 4.71E-03 – 2.72 mg/kg. The dietary intake of the PAHs for adults and children ranged from 0.0021 – 0.0259 mg/kg/day and 0.0011 – 0.0129 mg/kg/day respectively. The levels of BaPeq and their margin of exposure MOE suggest non-significant health risk. The incremental life cancer risk ILCR of Pb were within safe range of <1E-04. Conclusion: Consumption of honey from Enugu State, Nigeria may not pose a significant health risk.

Opis:

Miedwie Lake is the biggest post-glacial lake of the West-Pomeranian Voievodship. At the same time it is the fifth of the largest lakes in Poland. Miedwie Lake is situated centrally between three big agglomerations, i.e. Szczecin, Stargard Szczecinski and Pyrzyce. Miedwie Lake has been since 1976, the potable water source for the City of Szczecin. The reservoir is used not only for municipal purposes, but also for fishing, tourist and recreation purposes. Unfortunately, heavy metal pollution is an ever-increasing problem. These toxic heavy metals on entering into the aquatic environment are adsorbed onto particulate matter, although they can form free metal ions and soluble complexes that are available for uptake by biological organisms. Many of these metals tend to remain in the ecosystem and eventually move from one compartment to the other within the food chain. The increase in residue levels of heavy metal content in water, sediments and biota has resulted in decreased productivity and increase in exposure of humans to harmful substances. Food chain contamination by heavy metals has become a burning issue in recent years because of their potential accumulation in biosystems through contaminated water, soil, sediment and air. The present research work deals with the quantification of toxic heavy metals in the water samples collected from Miedwie Lake (North-West Poland).

Opis:

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is a foundation of submitting applications for reimbursement of a particular health technology. It involves conducting comparative analyzes in which the existing health care standard is compared with the new technology in order to test the benefits of introducing financing of the new technology. There are several dozen authorities responsible for HTA in various countries around the world. The structures, functions, competences and approaches of individual HTA agencies differ due to differences in healthcare systems, as well as due to the heterogeneous political structures in which they operate. In some countries, HTA agencies are responsible only for the HTA assessment process, consisting of reviewing scientific evidence and data synthesis, while in others also for verifying and making a reimbursement decision, based on, among others budget restrictions. However, regardless of the structures and competences of the HTA agencies in individual countries, the introduction of HTA as a tool for rational reimbursement decisions in various healthcare systems has significantly reduced the uncertainty associated with their making. Poland is an example of a country where no medicine is reimbursed without formal procedures. It is not possible for a drug to be reimbursed in a new medical indication, without an assessment of health technologies. Following the example of other developed countries, Poland in 2005 introduced a health technology assessment system to the drug reimbursement process by establishing an advisory body for the Minister of Health - the Agency for Health Technology Assessment, which tasks include in particular, developing recommendations regarding the financing of health technologies. In accordance with the guidelines of the president of AOTMiT, the drug manufacturer, in addition to analyzing the decision problem, have to prepare three types of analysis: the clinical effectiveness analysis, the economic analysis and the analysis of the impact on the healthcare system.
Ocena technologii medycznych (HTA) stanowi podstawę wnioskowania nad zasadnością refundacji określonej technologii medycznej. Polega ona na przeprowadzeniu analiz porównawczych, w których zestawia się istniejący standard opieki zdrowotnej z nową technologią, w celu sprawdzenia jakie korzyści wiążą się z wprowadzeniem finansowania nowej technologii. Na świecie istnieje kilkadziesiąt organów odpowiedzialnych za HTA w różnych krajach. Struktury, funkcje, kompetencje i podejścia poszczególnych agencji HTA różnią się ze względu na różnice w systemach opieki zdrowotnej, a także ze względu na niejednolite struktury polityczne, w których agencje te działają. W niektórych krajach agencje HTA są odpowiedzialne jedynie za proces oceny HTA polegający na przeglądzie dowodów naukowych i syntezie danych, natomiast w innych także za weryfikację i podjęcie decyzji refundacyjnej, w oparciu także m.in. o ograniczenia budżetowe. Niezależnie jednak od struktur i kompetencji agencji HTA w poszczególnych krajach, wprowadzenie HTA jako narzędzia do racjonalnego podejmowania decyzji refundacyjnych w różnych systemach opieki zdrowotnej spowodowało znaczne zmniejszenie obszaru niepewności związanej z ich podejmowaniem. Polska jest przykładem kraju, w którym żaden lek nie jest refundowany bez formalnych procedur. Refundacja leku w nowym wskazaniu medycznym nie jest możliwa bez oceny technologii medycznych. Wzorem innych krajów rozwiniętych Polska w 2005 roku wprowadziła system oceny technologii medycznych (ang. health technology assessment, HTA) do procesu refundacji leków poprzez powołanie Agencji Oceny Technologii Medycznych. Zgodnie z wytycznymi prezesa Agencji Oceny Technologii Medycznych i Taryfikacji (AOTMiT) producent leku oprócz analizy problemu decyzyjnego musi przygotować trzy typy analiz: analizę efektywności klinicznej, analizę ekonomiczną oraz analizę wpływu na system ochrony zdrowia.

Opis:

Objectives The research purpose was to analyze data concerning chemical incidents in Poland collected in 1999–2009 in terms of health hazards. Material and Methods The data was obtained, using multimodal information technology (IT) system, from chemical incidents reports prepared by rescuers at the scene. The final analysis covered sudden events associated with uncontrolled release of hazardous chemical substances or mixtures, which may potentially lead to human exposure. Releases of unidentified substances where emergency services took action to protect human health or environment were also included. Results The number of analyzed chemical incidents in 1999–2009 was 2930 with more than 200 different substances released. The substances were classified into 13 groups of substances and mixtures posing analogous risks. Most common releases were connected with non-flammable corrosive liquids, including: hydrochloric acid (199 cases), sulfuric(VI) acid (131 cases), sodium and potassium hydroxides (69 cases), ammonia solution (52 cases) and butyric acid (32 cases). The next group were gases hazardous only due to physico-chemical properties, including: extremely flammable propane-butane (249 cases) and methane (79 cases). There was no statistically significant trend associated with the total number of incidents. Only with the number of incidents with flammable corrosive, toxic and/or harmful liquids, the regression analysis revealed a statistically significant downward trend. The number of victims reported was 1997, including 1092 children and 18 fatalities. Conclusions The number of people injured, number of incidents and the high 9th place of Poland in terms of the number of Seveso establishments, and 4 times higher number of hazardous industrial establishments not covered by the Seveso Directive justify the need for systematic analysis of hazards and their proper identification. It is advisable enhance health risk assessment, both qualitative and quantitative, by slight modification of the data collection system so as to enable the determination of released chemical concentration and exposed populations.

Opis:

The main objective of this study was to estimate the environmental and health risk of the Šar Mountains (Kosovo) for depleted uranium contamination. The risk assessment of the contamination is needed since, in the spring of 1999, conflict with bombarding took place in the territory of the Western Balkans, during which depleted uranium ammunition was used. In Serbia and Montenegro, such tests were performed; based on them, some territories were decontaminated. Šar Mountains is particularly important as it is one of the few water-rich areas in Kosovo. Therefore, soil and water samples were taken from characteristic places in the Šar Mountains aquatorium. Tests of the samples were performed under well-controlled conditions. The measurement uncertainty was less than 5%. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that there was no contamination of the Šar Mountains with depleted uranium. This conclusion can be extended to the broader area around the Šar Mountains, as it is a safe area surrounded by high mountains

Opis:

The safety and security of different foodstuffs are considered important and have a high priority in global sustainable development. The contents of Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb and Cd were estimated in edible parts of 60 vegetable samples, irrigation water and agricultural soil collected from 5 farms in suburban areas around Riyadh district, Saudi Arabia. Also, soil pollution indices, pollution load index and contamination factor (PLI, CF), bioaccumulation factor (BAF), non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk indices (HQ, THQ, and ILCR) were estimated. The content of heavy metals in irrigation water and soil was within the recommended permissible levels, except for Cd in soil, which exceeds permissible levels. The trend of metal concentrations in both agricultural soil and vegetables was found in the order: Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Ni > Pb > Cd. Cluster analysis of the metal content in vegetables showed a tendency towards the accumulation of heavy metals in the order of leaves > roots > fruits > flowers > tuber. The BAFs values found were < 1.0, HQs values for Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and Ni were found to be < 1, while the estimated HQs for Pb and Cd were > 1, posing greater risk to the health of adults and children. THQ values were higher for children compared to adults. ILCR values for Cd showed a serious issue, as it exceeds the threshold risk limit (>10−4) in all parts of the investigated vegetables in all sampling sites.

Opis:

ObjectivesHydrogen peroxide (HP) accounts for 15% of the total global chemical revenue. According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the HP concentration immediately dangerous to human life or health is 75 ppm. Operators exposed to HP should pay attention when choosing the monitoring technique that should be specific and sensitive enough to discriminate the exposure levels from background concentrations. In order to assess the long- and short-term exposure to HP in disinfection processes, the authors compared 6 industrial hygiene monitoring methods to evaluate their efficiency in measuring airborne HP concentrations.Material and MethodsAirborne HP concentrations were evaluated using an on-fiber triphenylphosphine solid-phase microextraction method, and they were compared with those obtained using a 13-mm Swinnex titanium oxysulfate filter holder and 4 portable direct-reading electrochemical sensors. A survey carried out in wood pulp bleaching, food and beverage disinfection processing, and in a hospital department to reduce the risk of spreading nosocomial infections, was performed during routine operations to access the risk of HP occupational exposure.ResultsThrough the generation of HP gaseous dynamic atmospheres (0.1–85 ppm), the authors evaluated the consistency of the results obtained using the 6 methods described. The monitoring campaigns showed that the increase in HP could be relatively high (until 67 ppm) in food and beverage processing.ConclusionsIn the authors’ opinion, the current 8-h time-weighted average limits of 1 ppm for HP do not reflect the actual risk; a short-term exposure limit would, therefore, provide a much better protection.

Opis:

W niniejszym artykule została przedstawiona koncepcja stosowania wartości LCI (ang. Lowest Concentration of Interest) do oceny wpływu na zdrowie emitowanych z wyrobów budowlanych lotnych związków organicznych (LZO). Wartości LCI zostały pierwotnie opracowane przez grupę wiodących europejskich naukowców i opublikowane w 1997 r. w Raporcie nr 18 European Collaborative Action. Obecnie współczynnik ten jest coraz częściej wykorzystywany w przepisach krajów wspólnoty europejskiej do oceny emisji LZO z wyrobów budowlanych. Został również użyty w projekcie klasyfikacji emisji lotnych związków organicznych Komisji Europejskiej.

Opis:

Biomonitoring jakości powietrza z wykorzystaniem sieci pajęczych przeprowadzono we Wrocławiu w 2020 r. Po określonym czasie ekspozycji sieci przeanalizowano pod kątem zawartości pierwiastków potencjalnie toksycznych (Fe, Pb, Zn). Zważając na fakt, że otrzymane wartości były wyższe niż wartości w poprzednich latach, wykonano dodatkowo ocenę narażenia zdrowotnego, wynikającego z obecności pierwiastków potencjalnie toksycznych w powietrzu. W przypadku Fe oraz Pb całościowy wskaźnik zagrożenia był wysoki, wskazując na możliwe zagrożenie zdrowotne związane z narażeniem na te pierwiastki, natomiast wyniki dla Zn nie wskazały na istnienie takiego zagrożenia. Biomonitoring z wykorzystaniem sieci pajęczych udowodnił, że materiał ten może być z powodzeniem wykorzystywany przy oszacowaniu jakości powietrza, a analiza obecnych na sieciach pierwiastków pomaga przy ocenie zagrożenia zdrowotnego.
Air quality biomonitoring was conducted with the use of spider webs in Wrocław in 2020. After the specified exposure time, the webs were analyzed in order to determine the content of potentially toxic elements (Fe, Pb, Zn). Due to the fact that the obtained concentrations were higher than values recorded in previous years, an additional assessment of health hazard, resulting from the presence of potentially toxic elements in the air, was performed. In the case of Fe and Pb, the overall hazard index was found to be high, indicating the possible existence of a health hazard associated with exposure to these elements, while the results for Zn did not point to such a hazard. Biomonitoring with the use of spider webs has proven that this material can be successfully used in air quality assessment, and the analysis of the elements collected on the webs can help in assessing health hazard.

Opis:

Wstęp Ocena stanu zdrowia skazanych na karę ograniczenia wolności stanowi istotny odsetek spraw opiniowanych rocznie w Katedrze i Zakładzie Medycyny Sądowej Uniwersytetu Medycznego im. Karola Marcinkowskiego w Poznaniu. Pozwoliło to na dokonanie analizy wydanych opinii i wskazanie trudności, jakie mogą napotkać biegli lekarze. Materiał i metody Analizie poddano 1051 opinii sądowo-lekarskich dotyczących oceny stanu zdrowia skazanych na pracę na cele społeczne, wydanych w latach 2004–2013. Z opinii uzyskano dane dotyczące płci, wieku i rodzaju schorzeń skazanych oraz wniosków biegłych w zakresie zdolności do pracy społecznie użytecznej. Wyniki Wśród skazanych przeważającą większość stanowili mężczyźni w wieku 51–60 lat. Najliczniejszą grupę stanowiły osoby zdolne do pracy społecznie użytecznej po spełnieniu określonych warunków, wskazanych w opinii biegłych (56,3%), najmniej liczna była grupa osób uznanych za zdolne do wykonywania pracy bez jakichkolwiek ograniczeń (9,5%). W przypadku skazanych uznanych za zdolnych do pracy jedynie po spełnieniu wskazanych przez biegłych warunków najczęściej zalecano pracę lekką (58,4%). Najliczniejszą grupę schorzeń skazanych stanowiły choroby narządu ruchu (51,4%), drugą w kolejności – schorzenia układu krążenia (38,7%). Wnioski Liczba spraw dotyczących zdolności do odbywania kary ograniczenia wolności, opiniowanych rocznie w Katedrze i Zakładzie Medycyny Sądowej Uniwersytetu Medycznego im. Karola Marcinkowskiego w Poznaniu, oraz liczba wyroków skazujących w skali kraju wskazują, że biegli lekarze mogą otrzymać tego rodzaju sprawy do zaopiniowania. Główną trudnością w ocenie zdolności skazanego do wykonywania pracy na cele społeczne jest brak informacji, jakiego rodzaju i na jakim konkretnie stanowisku osoba skazana miałaby wykonywać pracę w ramach kary ograniczenia wolności. Med. Pr. 2016;67(6):765–775
Background Assessment of the health state of people sentenced to the penalty of restriction of liberty makes up a significant percentage of cases annually elaborated in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Poznan University of Medical Sciences. The analysis of such cases was accomplished to point out the difficulties that expert physicians could encounter in formulating their opinions. Material and Methods The analysis involved 1051 medico-legal opinions issued in the years 2004–2013, considering the health state of people performing the duty of free, controlled social labor. The authors collected data on age, sex, type of diseases and the ability to control social work of convicted subjects. Results Among those sentenced to the penalty of restriction of liberty the men aged 51–60 were in the majority. Individuals able to work only in specified conditions were the most numerous group (56.3%). People able to work in all conditions were the smallest set (9.5%). Light work was the type of work most frequently recommended to the persons able to work only in specific conditions (58.4%). The largest group of diseases comprised spondylopathies and osteoarthropathies (51.4%). It was followed by the group of cardiac diseases and angiopathies, including hypertension (38.7%). Conclusions The number of cases concerning the ability of the sentenced persons to serve the penalty of restriction of liberty annually elaborated in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Poznan University of Medical Sciences and the number of sentences imposed on the national scale indicate that medical experts may be obliged to provide opinions of this kind. Assessment of the health state of people sentenced to the penalty of restriction of liberty in some cases can be a difficult task for the expert physicians because of frequent lack of information about a specific type of work performed by the sentenced persons having only the data about their diseases.

Opis:

This paper discusses the health impact of investment projects as measured by a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) with reference to research that has shown that the landscape has a therapeutic effect on human health. The Health Impact Assessment (HIA), which complements the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) used in the European Union, is a tool which can be used to protect against the potentially harmful side effects of development projects. Many projects, for example construction of a new highway that cuts residential buildings off from access to a park, could have a negative impact on the health of local residents. This paper demonstrates that, in addition to other more obvious risks, loss of local landscape value can trigger adverse health consequences. Unfortunately, the current EIA does not require an assessment of the negative effects on human health caused by the loss of therapeutic features of the local environment. Based on research showing the benefits of greenways for alleviating stress and promoting an active lifestyle, the HIA is recommended for evaluating investment projects and proposing appropriate compensation for the loss of the therapeutic value of the landscape. An example of a compensatory action would be to build a public park.

Opis:

Burning of fossil fuels and biomass, transport and industry are the main sources of PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in the atmosphere. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is also a compound identified in cigarette smoke. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has qualified benzo[a]pyrene for compounds with proven carcinogenic effects on humans. The target value for benzo[a]pyrene, taking into account health protection purposes, is defined in the Regulation of the Minister of the Environment on the levels of certain substances in the air and it is annual average concentration 1 ng/m³. The aim of the study was to carry out a cancer risk assessment for residents of Wroclaw, Krakow and Warszawa related to inhalation exposure to benzo[a]pyrene in ambient air. The methodology employed by the American Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) was used in the study. The lifetime exposure of adults and children was assumed. The results of measurements carried out at the air monitoring stations under the State Environmental Monitoring by the Regional Inspectorates for Environmental Protection (RIEP) in Wroclaw, Krakow and Warszawa in the years 2014–2016 were used. The average concentration of BaP in the years 2014–2016 was 3.84, 6.31 and 2.19 ng/m³ for Wroclaw, Krakow and Warszawa respectively. The calculations show that the highest risk of cancer was obtained for the inhabitants of Krakow: 1.54 ∙ 10^-5 children, 7.52 ∙ 10^-6 women, 6.30 ∙ 10^-6 men. The estimated cancer risk was higher for Krakow residents than for Wroclaw (1.01 ∙ 10^-5 children, 4.94 ∙ 10^-6 women, 3.82 ∙ 10^-6 men) and Warszawa, where these indicators were the lowest (children: 5.34 ∙ 10^-6, women: 2.61 ∙ 10^-6, men: 2.19 ∙ 10^-6). Children are the group most exposed to the risk of cancer associated with BaP in the air among the examined subpopulations.
Źródłami WWA (wielopierścieniowe węglowodory aromatyczne) do atmosfery są m.in. transport, przemysł oraz spalanie paliw kopalnych. Benzo[a]piren jest także związkiem identyfikowanym w dymie papierosowym. Międzynarodowa Agencja Badań nad Rakiem (IARC) zakwalifikowała benzo[a]piren do związków o udowodnionym działaniu rakotwórczym na człowieka. Dopuszczalne stężenie benzo[a]piren ze względu na ochronę zdrowia określono w Rozporządzeniu Ministra Środowiska w sprawie poziomów niektórych substancji w powietrzu i wynosi ono 1 ng/m³. Celem pracy było przeprowadzenie oceny ryzyka nowotworowego dla mieszkańców Wrocławia, Krakowa i Warszawy związanego z narażeniem inhalacyjnym na benzo[a]piren w powietrzu atmosferycznym. W pracy zastosowano metodykę Amerykańskiej Agencji Ochrony Środowiska (US EPA). W badaniach założono narażenie całożyciowe osoby dorosłej oraz dziecka. W pracy wykorzystano wyniki pomiarów przeprowadzanych w ramach Państwowego Monitoringu Środowiska przez Wojewódzkie Inspektoraty Ochrony Środowiska (WIOŚ) we Wrocławiu, Krakowie oraz w Warszawie w latach 2014–2016. Średnia wartość stężenia B[a]P w latach 2014–2016 wyniosła dla Wrocławia, Krakowa i Warszawy odpowiednio: 3,84, 6,31 i 2,19 ng/m³. Z przeprowadzonych obliczeń wynika, iż najwyższą wartość ryzyka nowotworowego otrzymano dla mieszkańców Krakowa: dzieci: 1,54 ∙ 10^-5, kobiety: 7,52 ∙ 10^-6, mężczyżni: 6,30 ∙ 10^-6. Wyznaczone wartości ryzyka nowotworowego były wyższe dla mieszkańców Krakowa niż Wrocławia (dzieci: 1,01 ∙ 10^-5, kobiety: 4,94 ∙ 10^-6, mężczyżni: 3,82 ∙ 10^-6) i Warszawy, gdzie wyznaczone wartości ryzyka były niższe (dzieci: 5,34 ∙ 10^-6, kobiety: 2,61 ∙ 10^-6, mężczyżni: 2,19 ∙ 10^-6). Wśród badanych populacji najbardziej narażone na ryzyko nowotworowe związane z obecnością B[a]P w powietrzu są dzieci.

Opis:

The aim of the study was to assess the risk posed by Legionella bacteria in a public building in Krakow. An old building with internal installation risers of different ages, as well as draw-off points of different types, was selected for testing. Samples were collected during two campaigns. In one sample of the first series of tests, no bacteria were found. During the second series of tests, no Legionella bacilli were found in just one sample and in one sample only 4 colony-forming units were detected. At the remaining draw-off points (water taps), the bacteria count detected were greater than the maximum threshold allowed by legal regulations (admissible threshold for public utility buildings – 100 cfu/100 mL). No morphological differences were observed with respect to the occurrence of specific serogroups. In 14 samples, Legionella pneumophila serogroups 2–14 were found, while the Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was only found in one sample. The risk assessment was also carried out based on a semi-quantitative risk matrix approach and as a quantitative microbial risk assessment. The risk matrix approach was successfully implemented for the recognition of the potential risk associated with the Legionella occurrence in a water system. The calculated annual cumulative risk is high. The research shows that even if the weekly inhalation exposure dose (and therefore the calculated risk) is high, the number of Legionella pneumophila illness cases found can be equal to zero. This is probably due to the large uncertainty associated with QMRA determination. The size of the room in which the contaminated water is used also affects the possibility of infection.

Opis:

W Polsce toczy się obecnie dyskusja nad legislacją komercyjnych upraw GMO. Ważne miejsce w debacie publicznej zajmuje również kwestia bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego żywności i paszy wytworzonej z udziałem genetycznie modyfikowanych składników. Pojawiają się zarówno argumenty o szkodliwości jak i o zupełnym bezpieczeństwie tej żywności. Dlatego podjęliśmy się analizy opublikowanych polskich prac badawczych, które są cytowane jako dowód na bezpieczeństwo GMO. Nasza analiza pozwoliła wyciągnąć następujące wnioski. Powszechnym zjawiskiem jest przywoływanie na dowód bezpieczeństwa żywieniowego GMO prac badawczych z innego zakresu, np. prac dotyczących wydajności produkcyjnej pasz GMO, w których w ogóle nie oceniano wpływu tych pasz na zdrowie zwierząt doświadczalnych. Część badań rodzi zastrzeżenia metodyczne; przykładowo, ziarno roślin odpornych na herbicyd używane w badaniach pokarmowych pochodzi z roślin uprawianych bez stosowania oprysków. Takie doświadczenie nie ocenia rzeczywistego narażenia zwierząt i konsumentów, gdyż w praktyce będą oni spożywać zarówno GM ziarno jak i pozostałości herbicydu. Poza tym zauważyliśmy, że w sprawozdaniach i opracowaniach popularyzatorskich częste jest powoływanie się na dane niepublikowane, które nie przeszły procesu recenzji naukowej. To podważa wiarygodność takich opracowań. Z kolei w niektórych badaniach obserwowano przypadki odchyleń od normy fizjologicznej u zwierząt doświadczalnych karmionych paszami z dodatkiem GMO, ale wyniki te nie są zbyt szeroko dyskutowane w publikacjach oryginalnych, a całkiem pomijane w popularnych opracowaniach czy informacjach prasowych. Wobec powyższego, należy ocenić, że szeroko rozpowszechniony przekaz, o udowodnionym braku zagrożeń zdrowotnych ze strony żywności/pasz GMO, jaki dociera do opinii publicznej i decydentów, nie jest całkowicie obiektywny. Może to być jedną z przyczyn powszechnie obserwowanej nieufności i braku społecznej akceptacji GMO oraz źródłem obaw przed manipulacjami sprzecznymi z interesem społecznym.
There is an ongoing discussion whether to legally accept commercial GM crops in Poland. The public debate is mainly concentrated on the safety of GM food/feed and opposing statements are constantly presented - either about the risks concerned with GM products or about the absolute safety of GMOs. Thus, we decided to review research papers published in Polish which cite evidence that prove the safety of GMOs. After analyzing these works we came to the following conclusions. Very often the papers that are cited in the context of GMO safety assessment are devoted to quite different questions; mainly they concern nutritional efficiency and productivity of GM feed and do not analyze health status of the animals in the study. Some papers raise other methodological concerns, e.g., the herbicide tolerant varieties used in feeding experiments which have been grown without herbicide application. This experimental setting is inconsistent with every-day practice, as livestock and consumers are exposed to both factors: the GM product and residual herbicide. In addition, we found that many reports and popular articles refer to unpublished, non-peer-reviewed data which cannot be considered credible. In some published papers, observations are made concerning unfavorable changes in animal physiology, but they are poorly discussed in scientific papers and ignored in popular articles and press releases. Taking into account these data we assume that the widespread statement that the safety of GM food is undoubtedly scientifically proven is not entirely reasonable. This may be a reason for the widespread public distrust and lack of GMO acceptance.
