TL;DR: The changes in haemoglobin adjusted for albumin suggest that inhalation of some component of PM10 may cause sequestration of red cells in the circulation, and it is proposed that an action of such particles either on lung endothelial cells or on erythrocytes themselves may be responsible for changing red cell adhesiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafine particles and nitrogen oxides generated by gas and electric cooking
TL;DR: Cooking in a poorly ventilated kitchen may give rise to potentially toxic concentrations of numbers of particles, and respiratory effects of exposure to NOx might be anticipated, recent epidemiology suggests that cardiac effects cannot be excluded, and further investigation is desirable.
Journal ArticleDOI
The London Underground: dust and hazards to health
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess hazards associated with exposure to dust in the London Underground railway and to provide an informed opinion on the risks to workers and the travelling public of exposure to tunnel dust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupation and cancer in Britain.

TL;DR: This project is the first to quantify in detail the burden of cancer and mortality due to occupation specifically for Britain and highlights the impact of occupational exposures, together with the occupational circumstances and industrial areas where exposures to carcinogenic agents occurred in the past, on population cancer morbidity and mortality.
