WORK RELATED INJURIES IN A LARGE MANUFACTURING COMPANY Background: Work related injuries in the United States have steadily declined over the past three decades despite an aging workforce. This is attributable to a number of factors, including safer work programs (such as behavioral safety program, safety committees, and an emphasis on ergonomics in the workplace) and a decline in the proportion of the workforce in manufacturing. Objective: To determine the frequency and the age-adjusted frequency of back, knee and shoulder injuries in a manufacturing setting over a 12-year period (2003-2015). Method: 35,662 work related injury claim with greater than three days of missed work were analyzed. Descriptive analysis methods were used to compare claim frequency by year. Results: Age-adjusted number of back injuries decreased over a 12-year period (2.44/100 employees in 2003 compared to 0.56 /100 employees in 2015). Knee and shoulder injuries remained relatively constant over 12 year period. Knee injuries were 0.78/100 employees in 2003 compared to 0.42/100 employees in 2015. Shoulder injuries were 0.44/100 employees in 2003 and 0.42/100 employees in 2015. Conclusion: Age-adjusted number of back injuries decreased over a 12-year period. This parallels the national U.S. trend of decreased work related injuries, and is likely related to safer work environments. However, knee and shoulder injuries remained constant over 12-year period while other conditions declined. This could be due to degenerative disease in an aging workforce.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH: FALL SAFETY AND INJURY PREVENTION

E

nvironmental health as it relates to fall safety and injury prevention has become a major public health concern. According to the National Safety Council, 8.9 million emergency room visits are due to falls each year. Falls in homes account for approximately 25,000 accidental deaths annually. Falling alone is the second leading cause of death-related accidents. As our population ages, there remains a great need to educate the public on environmental health and fall safety to promote the safety of older Americans and increase their quality of life. The establishment of evidenced-based fall prevention programs can serve as a bridge to connect human health and environmental health in order to promote healthy communities, public health, and safety. Environmental health initiatives can occur on both a local and national level. Community fall prevention programs can identify and treat high fall-risk patients through screenings, assessments, and Tai Chi exercises and provide public health education on fall prevention and safety, home and workplace safety hazards, ladder safety training, and weather-related hazards to prevent injurious falls. On a broader scale, nation-wide organizational initiatives such as The National Complete Streets Coalition help determine whether transportation investments promote healthier lifestyles by increasing accessibility to physical activity, providing active modes of safe transportation, and decreasing fatal injury rates. In addition, the impact on the natural environment is minimized to reduce exposure to environmental pollutants and improve health-related outcomes. Biography Cassandra Warner Frieson is a doctorate-prepared nurse practitioner with over 20 years of expertise in geriatrics. Frieson is board-certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (NP-C) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (FNP-BC) and received her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville College of Nursing in Huntsville, Alabama, USA.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: THE REALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION AROUND THE WORLD Vítor Manteigasa a Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal

I

n recent years, the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been a part, all over the world, of the discourse associated to education. The UN, by designating the period 2005-2014 as the Decade of ESD, sought to bring to the fore the need for policy makers and education professionals find ways in which the ESD could become an integral part of formal and non-formal education. The objective of this work involves (i) identify the different programs that educational institutions have used to work the issues of ESD and (ii) know and state the scientific nature of work that has been developed, associated with ESD, in the educational institutions, focusing on higher education, for the past 15 years. In order to ensure the achievement of the objectives set, was analyzed the final report of the Decade of ESD, with further research of scientific papers. Of the programs listed in the final report, Eco-Schools is recognized by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as the largest international network of teachers and students from around the world. The designations associated to educational institutions, which have been developing work within ESD programs, has not been consensual. This may cause confusion in what concerns the existing programs. Regarding the Eco-Schools the used designations are different ("Eco-Schools" and "Green-Schools" for basic and secondary education and "EcoUniversities", "Eco-Campus" and "Green Campus" for higher education). Most of the work of the schools gives emphasis to structural issues of schools (school building), energy issues and sustainability. Biography Vítor Manteigas is Environmental Health Specialist by Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon, he has a "public recognition, innovation and development" by Lisbon School of Health Technology an (ESTeSL) for his work as coordinator of Eco-Universities Programme Victor has done his Master in Public Health from the NOVA University of Lisbon and PhD candidate in Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies, a joint initiative between the University of Lisbon and NOVA University of Lisbon.

PHOTOTHERMAL DESORPTION (PTD) OF BUCKYPAPERS (BPS) FOR VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND (VOC) SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS Claudiu T. Lungua, Jonghwa Oha and Evan L. Floydb a University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA b University of Oklahoma, USA

T

his study was aimed to find an efficient sorbent for use with our novel desorption technique, photothermal desorption (PTD) which thermally desorbs an analyte by applying a pulse of light. Two types of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), arc discharge (AD) and high-pressure carbon monoxide (HiPco), were used to fabricate buckypapers (BPs) and they were examined as a potential sorbent for PTD. Upon fabrication (AD BP and HiPco BP), heat treatment was administered to improve adsorption properties. Adsorption properties, including Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and pore size, of the heat-treated BPs were characterized and then tested for PTD. Toluene was used as a representative volatile organic compound (VOC) and a photographic grade xenon flash lamp was used for PTD. As a result, both types of BPs showed a large surface area (933 – 970 m²/g) and small mean pore diameter (5.6 – 5.9 nm). The difference in the recovery rate between AD and HiPco BPs was statistically significant (p < .0007 – .0256) AD BP having the higher recovery rate (0.016 – 0.431 %) at all energy levels examined (1.84 – 7.37 J), indicating that AD BP is a viable sorbent for VOC sampling and analysis using PTD.

INVESTIGATION OF COMBINED ADSORPTION/OZONATION PROCESSES FOR REMOVAL OF BENZOTHIAZOLES Ján Dercoa, Michal Melichera, Jozef Dudáša, Juraj Kecskéša a Institute of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology, Slovak University of Technology, Radlinského 9, Bratislava, SK

A

doption of the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC) provides a policy tool enabling sustainable protection of water resources. The main aim of our research acitivities is to find the most appropriate technique for the removal of priority and relevant substances from water using ozone based reactions, designing controlled oxidation processes and eventually also an ozonation reactor. The aim of this presentation is to summarize the main results of ozone application to degrade BT and 2-MBT from model wastewater with selected ozone based processes (O3, O3/ZEO, O3/GAC). Benzothiazole (BT) and its derivates are widely used, mainly as herbicides and fungicides, anti-fungal drugs, corrosion inhibitors in cooling water, slimicides in the paper and pulp industry and largely as vulcanization accelerators in rubber production. They are toxic and poorly biodegradable. Benzothiazoles (BTs) have been detected in the environment for instance in wastewaters, soils, estuarine sediments, and superficial waters. Our results of ozone utilization for wastewater pretreatment indicates that 99% of BT were removed after 80 minutes of ozonation. Efficiency of BT mineralization was increased three times using the O3/GAC process compared with ozonation only. The 2-MBT removal rate was three times higher than that of BT wastewater. Efficiency of BT removal was lower by 31% in wastewater containing 2-MBT. The results of ozonation of wastewater containing BT and 2-MBT simulating real industrial wastewater prior to the biological treatment indicate the feasibility of this procedure. This work was supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency under the contract No. APVV-0656-12. The authors would like to thank also for the support from the VEGA Grant 1/0859/14. Biography Ján Derco, D.Sc. has Graduated from the Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology, Slovak Technical University (SUT) as M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering. Then he started working at the Department of Environmental Engineering at the same faculty where he has continued his research. Later he obtained his PhD. and D.Sc. graduations from the same University. Presently he is working as Professor at the Institute of Chemical and Environmental Engineering SUT. [email protected]

THE IMPACTS OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ON THE INDEXES OF SOCIETIES’ PROGRESS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Ali Emami Meibodia a University of Allameh Tabataba’i, Iran

F

or the most of the twentieth century, growing reliance on fossil fuels was almost universally celebrated as a good, a symbol of society progress. However, nowadays, with the rise of the environmental concerns, efforts are mounting around the world to curtail and manage the consumption of all fossil fuels, due to different pollutions such as air, land, water, noise and the climate changes. Following two important meetings were held in 1972 and 1992 that deemed as milestones in the environmental context, society’s progress measurement indexes have changed. These indicators have been raised since 1992, after holding the earth summit in Rio, Brazil. It is necessary to mention, that during 1920 to 1960, merely, the economic indicators were used for measuring and comparing the progress of different countries. During the 1960 to 1992, social indexes, such as, Gross National Happiness (GNH), Index of Social Health (ISH) are considered as well. After 1992, in the Global stage economic, social and environmental indexes are considered altogether for comparing societies’ progress. For instance, since 1992, environmental outcomes of manufacturing enterprises have been under considerations. So, words such as environmental efficiency and green productivity are raised. In this paper, the major society progress indexes, such as sustainable development, environmental efficiency, green productivity, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW) are introduced, reviewed and analysed. The findings of this paper remind us; it must bet widen the understanding of the success of societies beyond economic and social indicators. Moreover, the environmental indicators are also important. The aim of this paper is also to analyse, the environmental policies (international, regional co-operation and national policies) in relation to energy management and Environmental health.Given our findings regarding the importance of energy management and environmental health, merely, through with, Good Gove rnance, to improve the Indexes of Societies’ Progress and Sustainable Development. Biography Ali Emami Meibodi has completed his PhD from Departmant of Economics, University of Surrey, UK, in 1998. At present, he is associate professor of Energy Economics at Allameh Tabataba’i University, Tehran Iran. He has published two books and more than 36 papers (some of them in the reputed English Journals) in the area of Energy and Environment subjects. [email protected]

MODELING LIFE CYCLE SUSTAINABILITY IN BUILDINGS USING SYSTEM THINKING Mohamed Marzouka and Mostafa El-hawarya a Cairo University, Egypt

T

he worldwide interest for a formal tool to efficiently evaluate sustainability of buildings is increasing. Many interventions have been documented for using holistic concepts by introducing rating systems such as LEED of the United States, BREEAM of the United Kingdom, Pearl of the United Arab Emirates, GPRS of Egypt. All rating systems efficiently evaluated environmental impact and resources use for an instance of the building in its life cycle. This paper investigates the use of system dynamics to evaluate building life cycle sustainability though activities interaction behavior. In other words, a way for comprehending impact and effect of suitability related activities over the whole building life cycle or period of time. A generic framework was developed with an initial task of selecting key parameters through benchmarking of worldwide rating systems. The output from the benchmarking was analysed to generate correlation ideas in order to identify the system thinking relationships. [email protected]

EXPEDITING RETURN TO WORK FULL DUTY WITH ONSITE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT

E

mory Healthcare with Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia employs 39,075 employees. Contract onsite physical therapy and ergonomic services were added in 2001. Employees with work related musculoskeletal injures only required five onsite physical therapy visits versus the national average of fourteen visits. The cost savings of physical therapy and employee labor costs were $887,574 in 2006. In 2008, Emory’s Occupational Injury Management Department was developed and physical therapists specializing in ergonomics were hired full time. The Emory employee received physical therapy, body mechanics instruction and an ergonomic evaluation as needed. Physical therapy statistics of discharged patients were recorded for three years to evaluate the discharge work status, physical therapy visits, the departments with injuries, and types of injuries. The goal was to provide good evidence based justification for onsite medical management with physical therapy and ergonomic services. Over 300 Emory employees were discharged annually from onsite physical therapy. The statistics revealed 90% to 93% of the employees returned to work full duty. With close medical management, only 35% of the employees required outside physician referral. The Nursing, Facilities Management, and Food and Nutrition Departments had the highest injuries. Injury prevention programs were designed based on the department ergonomic evaluations. A Safe Patient Handling Program was initiated in 2006. In 2014, there was a 12.5% cumulative reduction in lifting injuries. The average cost per WC case reduced by $2100 in ten years. Emory’s comprehensive approach expedites the successful return to full duty work and reduces the cost of work related injuries. Biography Kathy Norris is the Emory Occupational Injury Management Physical Therapy Manager. She provides onsite physical therapy for Emory Healthcare and Emory University work related injuries, and ergonomic analysis for work related and non-work related injuries. She develops department specific injury prevention programs. She is a Certified Ergonomic Analysis Specialist with 28 years experience in industrial medicine. She is a Maitland-Australian Certified Orthopaedic Manual Therapist. She received a BS in Health Science from the University of Kentucky. [email protected]

he American workforce has become sedentary; a behavior associated with poor health outcomes; chronic diseases, premature mortality, fatigue, and obesity. Changing the built environment is a strategy that can provide opportunities to promote physical, mental health and overall wellbeing. Ergonomic changes in an office environment can address excessive sitting; factors influencing mental health include indoor environmental conditions, the social climate of the workplace, and job stressors. Studies have shown that the improvement of these factors can promote healthy behaviors, mood states, and job satisfaction. Implementing adjustable workstations (AWS) allow workers to sit or stand, with studies demonstrating notable reductions in sitting times, improvements in comfort, energy, happiness, and focus. This study documents workplace behavior, physical and mental wellbeing of workers, after the introduction of an AWS, compared to those with a traditional desk (TD) in an office environment. This presentation describes a RCT of adjustable workstations (AWS). Subjects with AWS and traditional desks (TD) were surveyed electronically with two validated health and work questionnaires, before AWS installation, three and six months later. They reported current activity via polling for one week, at each time point. Nonparametric Wilcoxon tests were performed. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to analyze mental health variables. Participants included 30 with AWS and 37 with TD, median age 30-39 years and 60% male. Participants who received AWS reported (through polling) significantly less sitting three months after (17% reduction in sitting; p=0.02) and six months after (15% reduction; p=0.006) AWS installation. Participants with AWS reported a reduction in upper back pain at both time points (p=0.008 and p=0.01, respectively), compared with participants with TD. After six months, 96% of participants who received AWS reported the new workstations were convenient to use; 63% reported increased productivity; and 61% indicated that the AWS positively impacted their health outside of the workplace. Among employees 10 and log(P L/Pa) < -4, therefore, a low mobility can be expected. From these parameters, their particle-bound fraction and gas–particle partition coefficient were also derived.

THE PREVALENCE OF HYPERTENSION AMONG KAZAK INDIVIDUALS OF DIVERSE OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUNDS IN XINJIANG, CHINA Jingmei Jianga, Mingtao Zhangb, Fang Xuea, Yong Tangb, Lei Houa, Shaohua Liangb, Wei Hana, Wangb, Biao Zhanga, Haiyu Panga, Yanhong Wanga a Dept of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Institute of Basic Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China b The People’s Hospital in Altay Region, Xinjiang, China

Background The prevalence of hypertension varies greatly among various ethnic groups in China. Kazak’s hypertension ranks fifth with regard to morbidity among the 56 Chinese ethnic groups. Kazaks, are the main ethnic group in Kazakhstan, and represent a sizable ethnic minority in China and Russia. For thousands of years, China’s Kazak people are mainly active in raising livestock on the prairie grasslands in northwest China, and have developed a unique culture and lifestyle. In order to establish whether this distinct life-style and culture affects the prevalence of hypertension in this population, we undertook a population-based study of Kazak people who are involved in three occupational backgrounds (herdsman, farmer, non-manual worker of town city) in north Xinjiang China. Methods A prospective cohort design was used, with 1670 participants (aged 30-92) from seven villages and town city recruited by a stratified random clustering sampling procedure in Hong Dun town, Altay region Xinjiang from January to March 2013. All participants completed the survey and physical examination using standardized procedures. The overall response rate for completing both the survey and physical examination was 92.0%. Results Compared with farmers and non-manual workers, herdsmen had the highest prevalence of hypertension and the lower rates of treatment and control (Table 1). High-salt diet (air-dried beef and milky-tea) intake and low intake of fruits and vegetables were more common in the nomadic group and a dose-response relationship was observed between the prevalence of hypertension and occupation (Figure 1). Furthermore, the prevalence of hypertension within each occupational group was more common in lower socioeconomic status based on educational attainment and economic measures (data not shown). Conclusion Unlike the previous epidemic of hypertension in developed countries which was driven mainly by urbanization, these data highlight the need for careful monitoring and control of hypertension risk factors in rural area residents, especially groups such as the Kazak nomads who have a greater degree of marginalization in modern China.

MONITORING AND MODELING OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES IN TWO ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES Gokce Guneya and Delia Teresa Sponzaa a Dokuz Eylul University, Turkey

I

n laboratory studies, a proper risk management must be done for the realisable risks, therefore, occupational health and safety precautions must be implemented for the health of the laboratory personnel and for the reliability of the analysis results. It is possible to describe the most common risks encountered in laboratory studies and it can be determined the precautions through the methods used in risk analysis. The novelty of the study is to take advantage of the mathematical modelings for the first time in Turkey in environmental research laboratories choosing the most efficient, economic and quick precautions against to the probable risks, working accidents and financial harms. The main aim of this study was to monitor the possible risks and to determine the precautions in order to make occupational health and safety assessment studies in a chemical and in a microbiology laboratory in Environmental Engineering Department – Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir/Turkey using two different risk assesment methods namely Analytic Hierarchy Process – (AHP) and Kinney Method for occupational health and safety assessment studies based on chemical, physical and biological factors. The significance levels of the safety measures that must be taken in laboratories could be determined as percentages with AHP. Degree of urgency of the safety measures that must be taken in laboratories according to the quantity of the risk value were detected with Kinney Method. As a result of this study, probable risks, working accidents and financial harms in these laboratories could be minimized with occupational health and safety precautions using mathematical modelings.

ixture effects of chemicals and their potential synergistic interactions are of great concern to both the public and regulatory authorities worldwide. Intensive agriculture activities are leading to discharges of chemicals mixtures (pesticides and metals) to the located nearby aquatic areas with severe repercussions to aquatic communities and thus, to the trophic food web. Further information about the impacts of these stressors in aquatic organisms is needed. By this, our study address toxic and biochemical effects of single and equitoxic mixtures of the herbicide Primextra® Gold TZ and the metal copper in the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii and in the estuarine calanoid Acartia tonsa by determining growth rate and immobilisation effects, respectively, and changes on fatty acids (FA) profiles, being the latter a good biomarker of stress. Single effects revealed that the herbicide is considerably more toxic to diatoms than to copepods, whereas the metal showed an opposite trend. Mixture effects revealed that copper and Primextra® acted antagonistically relative to concentration addition model on diatoms and synergistically relative to independent action model on copepods. FA profiles of diatom responded significantly to the single copper exposure. Significant decline in the content of copepod FAs was observed after mixture exposure, including considerable decrease of essential FAs that cannot be synthesized de novo. Our results revealed that the mixture effects are more hazardous for primary consumer than for primary producer species in terms of abundance and biomass quality, suggesting the harmful effects for higher trophic levels, biodiversity losses and decrease in ecosystem health status.

IN VITRO ASSESSMENT OF ARSENIC AND GUT MICROBIOME INTERPLAY Marta Calatayuda and Tom Van de Wielea a Center for Microbial Ecology and Technology, Ghent University, Belgium

M

icrobe-host cross-talk is a key factor in human health and while the gut barrier controls (micro-) nutrient absorption, it also fends off antigens or xenobiotics. One of the contaminants of highest health concern is arsenic, which affects more than 100 million people worldwide, causing cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Human exposure to inorganic and organic arsenic is largely caused by the ingestion of contaminated drinking water and foodstuffs, mainly rice and seafood. Although most of the arsenic is absorbed in the small intestine, significant amounts could reach distal segments of the gut. Specifically, at the colon, a mucus layer is covering the epithelial surface, protecting the colonocytes from the luminal milieu. This specific niche, due to its close contact with epithelial cells, is gaining more attention in host-microbe interaction studies. From our results, gut microbiome was affected by arsenic in the simulator of the human intestinal microbial ecosystem (SHIME®). 7 human fecal samples were stabilized in the SHIME reactor and exposed to environmentally relevant levels of arsenic (0.01 or 0.1 mg/L) for 7 days. Gut microbiome and specifically mucus associated microbiota reduced its metabolic activity, represented by a decrease in short chain fatty acids and ammonium production (48-89% of reduction compared to the control). In addition, the microbial structure in the mucus niche was specifically affected, increasing the richness and reducing the evenness in the community. These results support the hypothesis of considering the mucus ecosystem in the gut as sensitive “target organ” of arsenic toxicity. Biography Marta Calatayud has a Veterinary degree and obtained her Ph.D. from Valencia University and the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology - Spanish National Research Council. After being an assistant professor of Toxicology at the Technical University of Ambato (Ecuador), she started a doctor assistant position at the Center for Microbial Ecology and Technology, Ghent University (Belgium) where she is currently performing her research. Her primary interest is the understanding of environmental pollutants behavior at intestinal level, including the host-associated microbiome. Recently, she has been granted by the FWO to develop an in vitro biomimetic model of the intestine. [email protected]

ENHANCEMENT OF OXYGEN FUNCTIONAL GROUPS ON OLIVE STONES ACTIVATED CARBON SURFACE TO IMPROVE HEAVY METAL REMOVAL FROM SINGLE AND BINARY AQUEOUS SYSTEMS Thouraya Bohli and aAbdelmottaleb Ouederni University of Gabès, Tunisia

a

a

H

eavy metals are common pollutant found in various industrial effluents. The stricter environmental regulations on the discharge of heavy metals make it necessary to develop various technologies for their removal. Adsorption on activated carbon was considered to be the more effective process especially at low concentrations. The surface characteristics and chemical properties of activated carbon are the most important factors that determine the adsorption capacity. These two factors can be changed through certain surface oxidizing methods of activated carbon. In this work, an activated carbon prepared from olive stones by chemical way using phosphoric acid (COSAC) was further undergoes treatments with nitric acid, ozone, CuO impregnation and Al2O3 impregnation to improve the surface chemistry. Activated carbons were characterized by BET, FTIR and Boehm titration. Treated ACs show a decrease in both specific surface area and micro pore volume, and lead to a fixation of high amounts of oxygen functional groups, especially when nitric acid and ozone were used, thus making the carbon surfaces more hydrophilic. Prepared ACs were used as an adsorbent matrix for Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) metal ions removal from aqueous solution. Adsorption isotherms obtained at 30°C show that the modified ACs are able to sorb more Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solution. Nitric acid treated AC was found to be the most favourable one since higher heavy metal ions uptake are observed when using this material. COSAC and nitric acid-treated olive stones activated carbon were tested and compared in their ability to remove Metal ions from binary systems and results show synergies, inhibitor and enhancement effects and higher adsorbed amounts as compared to single systems.

Background: Onsite clinics provide immediate onsite post-injury care as well as continuous assessment of injured employees to assure early return to work and appropriateness of medical care. They also provide various health wellness services (nonoccupational, vaccination, physical examinations, etc.) to maintain the overall health status of employees and increase the productivity. Objective: Assess the injury rates for a 9-year pre- and 9 year post-clinic implementation period. Method: 46 onsite clinics were included in the analysis. Injury rates were calculated by determining the total number of workrelated injuries per population. These rates were compared prior to and after clinic opening. Results: At the time of clinic opening, the average injury rate was 27.4/100 employees. At year one post-clinic opening, the injury rate increased slightly to 27.6. This was due to an Increase in the reporting of more minor injuries. In subsequent years, the injury rate per 100 employees was 27.4, 26.9, 24.8 and 20.3 at year 2,3, and 4, respectively. At year 5 post clinic opening, the injury rate decrased to 14.3/100 employees. Subsequent to year 5, the injury rates averaged 13/100 employees per year. Conclusion: Overall injury rates decreased approximately 50% after onsite clinic established. The most marked decline occurs after 4 years of clinic establishment.

EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES IN MEDICINE FOR IN VITRO FERTILIZATION (IVF-ET) Introduction: Very little has been discussed concerning the health hazards posed by environmental chemical substances with regard to assisted reproductive technology (ART), although in vitro fertilization and embryo-transfer (IVF-ET) has been becoming more popular over the last two decades in reproductive medicine.　 Materials and Methods: Highly sensitive and specific chromatographic and spectrometric assays have been developed for the measurement of several common but important chemicals including perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and phthalates (DEHP, MEHP). After establishing the reference concentration standards for these chemicals in human fetomaternal environment specimens, we investigated the amounts of contaminations in culture media and culture dishes used for IVF-ET. The possible health hazards induced by exposure to amounts of chemicals detected in the culture media and/or culture dishes were then evaluated by analyzing epigenetic profile alterations in mouse embryonic stem cell (ESCs) and, in some cases, in human pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). Results: Levels of MEHP and PBDE that were 10-100 times higher than those in fetomaternal specimens (approximately 1-10 ppb) were detected in some in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET) media, suggesting that such concentration was capable of inducing reversible/irreversible changes in the epigenetic profile. In contrast only trace amounts of perfluorinated compounds were found in the same culture media. Conclusion: The present study is the first admonitory report to evaluate the toxicity and/or teratologic influences of chemicals inIVF-ET culture media.

ANALYSIS OF SOME CHEMICAL ELEMENTS IN MARINE MICROALGAE FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION AND OTHER USES Bruna Ferreira Silvaa a Federal University of Goiás, Brazil

D

ue to the current abundant supply of marine microalgae, which can be found in seawater, as well as microalgae's ability to uptake different chemicals, it appears as a promising raw material with potential for many commercial uses. Despite having a high amount of metal in their biomass, the lipids within marine microalgae can be converted into biodiesel. Analyses of 26 chemical elements (Al, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sn, Sr, Ti, Tl, V, and Zn) were performed by ICPOES with the goal of quantifying the inorganic content of marine microalgae's biomass. Regardless of the cultivation media used, microalgae presented differences in their chemical element profile. Strains showed a 12.9% to 36.3% mass of analyzed elements per dry biomass, which represent a relatively high percentage for a feedstock used in biofuels. Among the 36 assayed microalgae, Biddulphia sp., Planktolyngbya limnetica, Amphora sp. (1), Navicula sp. (3) and Synechococcus sp. are most indicated for this purpose as they contain a lower concentration of chemical elements when compared to other samples. However, their profile warns that water quality control is needed for toxic metals such as Ba, Cd, and Pb. Biography Bruna Ferreira Silva has begun her research studies with biofuels in graduation. She has published some papers in reputed journals and has completed her Master course at the age of 23 years in Chemistry Institute at Federal University of Goiás. She has experience in analytical chemistry, especially in microalgae, ICP, metals, biodiesel and gas chromatography. [email protected]

MOLECULAR PATHOGENESIS IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE DUE TO BIOMASS SMOKE EXPOSURE Jordi Olloquequia a Universidad Autónoma de Chile, Chile

I

n Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), inhaled particles and gases trigger an inflammatory response, favoring tissue proliferation in small airways and tissue destruction in lung parenchyma, in addition to the recruitment of immune cells to these compartments. COPD mortality and morbidity have increased significantly worldwide in recent decades. Although cigarette smoke is still considered the main risk factor for the development of the disease, estimates suggest that between 25% and 33% of COPD patients are non-smokers. Among the factors that may increase the risk of developing COPD, biomass smoke (BS) has been proposed as one of the most important, affecting especially women and children in developing countries. Despite the epidemiological evidence linking exposure to BS with adverse health effects, the specific cellular and molecular mechanisms by which this pollutant can be harmful for the respiratory and cardiovascular systems remain unclear. However, a considerable amount of evidence has shown the potential of BS as an enhancer of lung inflammation. On the other hand, an impairment of some innate immune responses after BS exposure has also been described. Regarding the mechanisms by which biomass smoke alters the innate immune responses, three main classes of cell surface receptors, the toll-like receptors, the scavenger receptors and the transient receptor potential channels have shown the ability of transducing signals initiated after BS exposure. This paper is a comprehensive review of the immunomodulatory effects described after the interaction of BS components with pulmonary cell receptors, under a COPD-oriented point of view. Biography Jordi Olloquequi completed his PhD in 2010 from the Department of Cell Biology of the University of Barcelona in collaboration with the Vall d’Hebron Hospital Research Institute (VHIR). After a postdoctoral research in that very group, he became Associate Professor at the University of Barcelona, Spain. At present, Dr. Olloquequi is a full professor at Universidad Autónoma de Chile. He is the Principal Investigator of a research project funded by the Chilean National Science and Technology Fund (CONICYT). His main research line aims to study the connection between inflammatory processes and disease, specially those in the respiratory and nervous systems. [email protected]

T

he Mekong Delta Region (MDR) in Vietnam is highly vulnerable to extreme weather related to climate change. However there have been hardly any studies on temperature-hospitalization relationships. The objectives of this study were to examine temperature-hospitalization relationship and to evaluate the effects of socio-economic factors on the risk of hospitalizations due to high temperature in the MDR. The Generalized Linear and Distributed Lag Models were used to examine hospitalizations for extreme temperature for each of the 13 provinces in the MDR. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate the pooled risk for all causes, and for infectious, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases sorted by sex and age groups. Random-effects metaregression was used to evaluate the effect of socio-economic factors on the temperature-hospitalization association. For 1oC increase in average temperature, the risk of hospital admissions increased by 1.3% (95%CI, 0.9-1.8) for all causes, 2.2% (95%CI, 1.4-3.1) for infectious diseases, and 1.1% (95%CI, 0.5-1.7) for respiratory diseases. However the result was inconsistent for cardiovascular diseases. Meta-regression showed population density, poverty rate, and illiteracy rate increased the risk of hospitalization due to high temperature, while higher household income, houses using safe water, and houses using hygienic toilets reduced this risk. In the MDR, high temperatures have a significant impact on hospitalizations for infectious and respiratory diseases. Our findings have important implications for better understanding the future impacts of climate change on residents of the MDR. Adaptation programs that consider the risk and protective factors should be developed to protect residents from extreme temperature conditions. [email protected]

ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTIHYPERTENSIVE NATURAL PEPTIDES IN DRY-CURED HAM BY-PRODUCTS Leticia Mora-Solera a Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos (CSIC), Spain

M

eat industry produces tons of by-products that represent both an economical and environmental problem. Dry-cured ham manufactories are also important producers of by-products including all residues derived from the slicering of ham such as rinds, bones, fat, etc. On the other hand, proteolysis is one of the most important biochemical reactions occurred during dry-cured ham processing. It is responsible for the main changes in texture as well as for the generation of thousands of small peptides which influence in the characteristic aroma and flavor of the final product. Some of the sequences of these naturally generated peptides in dry-cured ham has also been described to exert biological activities such as antioxidant or antihypertensive. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and end-stage renal disease, and it has been the focus of attention in clinical and medicine research for the last decade. Main concerns in this matter are the secondary effects of antihypertensive drugs and, for this reason, current studies are based on new findings of naturally generated antihypertensive peptides which results less aggressive. Peptides naturally generated and extracted using different solvents from dry-cured ham by-products were evaluated for their antioxidant activity using DPPH, ferric reducing-power, ORAC, beta-carotene, and ABTS methodologies. Their potential as antihypertensive peptides was also studied with the measurement of inhibition of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) and Endothelin-Converting Enzyme (ECE). The results suggest that dry-cured ham by-products constitute a good source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits. Biography Leticia Mora completed her PhD at the Universidad Politécnica of Valencia in 2010. As a posdoctoral researcher, Mora enjoyed a posdoctoral contract in Ashtown Food Research Centre, Teagasc, in Dublin (Ireland) and later, a posdoctoral Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship FP7-PEOPLE-IEF, FOODSAF project in Royal Holloway University of London (Egham, UK).

T

hermal stress negatively affects profitability of sheep production due to the decrease in animal health and to the reduction in weight gain and milk production. The aim of this study was to investigate the variation in animal performance and adaptability in response to annual weather fluctuation. A 16 autochthonous Sardinian dairy sheep were raised in a Stall feeding system (St) and their performance was compared with 16 animals raised outdoor in a Paddock feeding system (Pd), without any shelter or shading effect. Both groups were fed with the same amount of forage and concentrate. The trial was carried out in N-W Sardinia, between July 2011 and May 2013. In both years, for each season, a 4 week measurement period was assessed. Outdoor and indoor meteorological factors were monitored continuously and analyzed weekly on hourly base; bio meteorological indices were calculated. Feed on offer and that refused, water consumption were measured daily in all groups. Body condition score, body weight, milk yield and milk composition and cortisol blood level were measured weekly. Treatments were characterized by different climate conditions. St, with more comfortable environmental conditions, showed higher milk yield and lower milk fat content than Pd only in winter, as well as body weight in winter and spring. Any difference was detected for the cortisol blood content. In comparison with the first, the second year, characterized by a more favorable weather, allowed better animal performances and an increment of cortisol level. Strategies aimed at reducing thermal stress of animal during winter would lead to improvement feed conversion efficiency for milk production. Biography Maria Sitzia is a researcher in animal husbandry at Research Agency in Agriculture of Sardinia (AGRIS).

We previously established that women in a low income community in South Africa had general HIV/AIDS knowledge but were unable to identify essential prevention behaviours. It was also established that health care volunteers provided support within the community. As part of a larger study, a qualitative interview was conducted with an HIV positive health care volunteer who offers social support in the area. This volunteer has no formal training but after being diagnosed with HIV 18 years ago, she attended short courses and sat in on nursing lectures in order to educate herself about HIV. She now uses her knowledge to help people with HIV live a better life and has received recognition through educating others via motivational speaking. She is regarded as someone people can confide in, and get assistance from, in her words a “community counsellor”. She also visits schools to create awareness about HIV. Her work indicates that listening to first-hand experience of a person who is HIV positive increases the level of engagement. Furthermore receiving information from someone who is not an authoritative figure is a different approach and a welcome change because of the stigma that still surrounds HIV. We conclude that if more HIV positive people are trained to educate others, it will go a long way in increasing knowledge about HIV transmission, uptake of voluntary testing as well as the removal of the stigma that surrounds HIV.

ery few examples of operating projects that integrate social, economic, environmental, technical and ecological aspects in developing economies, with multiple adverse conditions: climate change, political issues, low income, skepticism, wrong conceived governmental regulations for mining operations, and so on, could be found. This work includes determination of optimal land use by multi-criteria analysis with three main variables: geostatistics, evapotranspiration and groundwater characteristics. It also uses indicators such as NDVI to proof how the mining interventions had improved the characteristics of the zone, how risk assessment and risk management are key components for environmental sustainability and how innovative techniques in dehydration could add value to agriculture, silviculture and cattle raising products from rehabilitated zones to assure economic sustainability. The use of remote sensing, meteorological stations, piezometers, sunphotometers, geoelectric analysis among others; provide the information for modelling the actual situation and predict future needs. Temporality aspects from MODIS and ASTER images are also included not only for agriculture applications but also for water resource management and water quality assurance. Organic Agriculture applications have been tested with different products such as Goldenberry and Quinoa, both with international demand. Zeodratation is used to dehydrate the products by means of pressure changes and zeolites that behave as adsorbant and as molecular sieve selectors of water versus nutrient content. Thousands of experiments in the past 8 years have been taking place in order to define the best quality and most efficient curve per tested product. The results show healthier products with concentrated vitamin and antioxidant contents.

BROMINATED FLAME RETARDANTS – OCCURENCE AND HEALTH RELEVANCE Hermann Frommea a Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority, Germany

rominated flame retardants (BFRs) are a large group of different substances used in numerous products to prevent fire hazards. Some of them are persistent in the environment, accumulate in the food chain and are of toxicological concern, while for others current data are limited. Meanwhile, BFRs have been found in many environmental media, foods, and biota including humans. We will present recent findings obtained from monitoring data in different environmental media like indoor air and dust as well as dietary exposure. Furthermore, we give an overview of human biomonitoring data on BFR levels in blood and breast milk. Current estimates of the overall exposure of the general population using different relevant subsets are also addressed. All of these data are discussed in relation to currently available toxicological reference values used for risk assessment purposes. Obviously, the exposure of the general population varies considerably in different parts of the world and even within countries. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) show very often the highest exposure levels. Nevertheless, other “emerging” BFRs like tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and bis(2-ethyl-1-hexyl) tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) have to be considered in future. For most of the substances dietary intake was the major source. Additionally, non-dietary human exposure via inhalation and oral ingestion of house dust can make a significant contribution to the total intake under some circumstances, particularly for toddlers. Biography Hermann Fromme has completed his MD at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany. He is the head of the Department of Chemical Safety and Toxicology of the Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority and associate professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich. Central topics of the department are the identification of chemical exposures in environmental media and humans. He published numerous papers, especially in the field of indoor air and dust analysis and human biomonitoring. [email protected]

lthough organochlorine compounds (OCCs) used in industry and agriculture are not produced and not used legally at the present time, they may cause undesirable effects by passing to humans through various routes due to their long- term persistence in the external environment and transmission to babies through breastfeeding. Retrospective descriptive study aimed to investigate organochlorine compounds in women who breastfeed and work as a seasonal agricultural worker (SAW). Retrospective descriptive this study aimed to investigate OCCs in women who breastfeed and work as a SAW. The study is sponsored by Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) with 114S163 number. It was carried out on 100 women worked as SAW for the last one year. Data were collected a questionnaire by face-to-face interview and analyzed the residues of 27 items of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) metabolits and polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs) from persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in mothers’50 mL breast milk. Descriptive statistics, Chi square test and correlation analyze were used to evaluate data. Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)28 component was determined in almost all women’s milk and more than half of collected milk contained Beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), PCB52, pp’-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), PCB70, pp’-Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) ve Gamma HCH respectively. Moreover, PCB101, PCB183, PCB118, PCB105, PCB208, PCB170 ve Alfa-HCH components were detected in very few women (2-9 %). It was recommended that necessary legal regulations, education and control studies on health, and follow-up studies investigating health status of mothers and their babies.

ENVIRONMENTAL BURDEN OF DISEASE CAUSED BY AIR POLLUTANTS FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE INCINERATORS Young-Min Kima a Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Korea

A

lthough people living in the vicinity of incinerators have wondered whether incinerators cause any health burden, few studies have attempted to quantify the integrated health burden on the population. To estimate the attributable burden of disease caused by incinerators in Seoul, Korea, a source-specific exposure was applied to the estimation of the environmental burden of disease (EBD). With particular attention on the development of a measurement means of the source-specific, exposure-based population attributable fraction (PAF), we integrated air dispersion modeling, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the population distribution of exposure, and the exposure-response relationship. Attributable burden of disease of four air pollutants (PM10, NO2, SO2, and CO) emitted from four municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) in Seoul was estimated using the estimated PAF and the disability-adjusted life years (DALY) method. The PAF for NO2 to all-cause mortality was assessed at approximately 0.020% (95% CI: 0.003–0.036%), which was the highest among all air pollutants. The sum of the attributable burden of disease for four pollutants was about 297 person-years (95% CI: 121–472) when the incinerators observed to the emission standards. The attributable burdens of respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease were about 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively, of the total burden of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases of Seoul citizens for the year 2007. Although the air emissions from one risk factor, an incinerator, are small, the EBD can be significant to the public health when population exposure is considered.

WORK-RELATED AND NON WORK-RELATED DETERMINANTS FOR WORKABILITY OF THE POLISH OVER-50S Marzena Malińskaa a Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute, USA

Introduction: Over the recent years the problem of an ageing society has been a topical subject to widespread debate. According to the data from the 2010 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS 2010) only 61% of Polish older workers would be able to continue working at the age of 60. The basic condition which renders a professional activity possible is ability to perform work tasks. Individual decisions to cease this activity are, to a large extent, dependent on the subjective assessment of inability to work. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire survey covered 598 men and 469 women over 50 years of age employed in a number of sectors, i.e. administration, industrial processing, trade, construction as well as health care and social care. The respondents assessed their workability by filling in a questionnaire designed to assess Work Ability Index (WAI). They characterised their work in terms of psychosocial and physical work requirements, lifestyle, chronic fatigue and mental health. The multiple logistic regression model was used to assess an influence of the examined factors on the risk of occurrence of low or moderate work ability. Results: Polish older workers were found to have good (44.4%), moderate (36.4%) or excellent (13.4%) work ability. A statistically significant correlation was found between work ability and the type of work and education. Drawing on the analysis of logistic regression, it was concluded that with the deterioration of older workers’ mental health (-0.11±002), the increased priority of work (-0.14±0.03) and the increased frequency with which older workers resort to the over-the-counter medications (0.09±0.04), their work ability tended to deteriorate. In turn, increased absenteeism (0.77±0.09) and an increased level of supervision over the work performed (0.03±0.01) was found to have a positive effect on work ability. [email protected]

ral and dental health problems are a major public health problems. it is possible to significantly reduce the oral health problems, with preventive oral health care practices and acquired toothbrushing habits at an early age. This study aimed to evaluate the dmft value and toothbrushing habits , as a result of oral and dental health screening in preschools students. This descriptive study was conducted at 2014-2015 academic period in 96 preschools Meram district of Konya. Oral and dental health screening was done that 3163 students have been reached from 4189 students. %52.8 of the students were boy. 50.6% of students were regular toothbrushing habits and toothbrushing habits was significantly higher in girls (p=0,01). 14.3% of students who participated in the health screening was completely healthy in terms of dental health (didn't have; decayed, filled and missing teeth). The total number of decayed teeth 8767, number of missing primary teeth 5051, the number of filled teeth 795 in 3163 students who participated the screening. DMFt index 4.42 in girls, 4.78 in boys, it was found to be 4.61 in the all groups. Number of decayed teeth per person 2.6 in girls, 2.9 in boy and the number of missing primary tooth per person, It was found to be 1.5. According to the WHO dmft index should be 1.5 in school children but dmft index was found higher in participants. Early childhood is the best time to acquire the habits regarding oral and dental health.

ccupational health and safety units (İSGB) which were established as subordinate units of community health centers has started to provide services by the "Occupational Health and Safety Services Regulation" that published in the official gazette in 2012. Not much research has been made about the provided services during the intervening period. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the works of Konya/Karatay Community Health Center Occupational Health and Safety Unit in 2015. 3 occupational physicians, 2 occupational safety professionals and 2 other medical staff as a total 7 people were employed at this Occupational Health and Safety Unit. The unit has signed contracts with 3 workplaces. The 100% of workplaces were public institutions. One of the workplaces was least dangerous, one of them was dangerous and one of them was very dangerous. There were 329 employees at workplaces, 31.3% of them were employed at very dangerous workplace and 49.5% of them were employed at dangerous workplace. At this Occupational Health and Safety Unit, 771 recruitment reports were given for least dangerous jobs in 2015. Occupational health and safety training was given to 986 people at different workplaces by the unit. All the workplaces that signed contract with Occupational Health and Safety Unit were public institutions and most of these workplaces were in danger and very dangerous class. The evaluation of the works of Occupational Health and Safety Unit and sharing of works that have been done, may support both the self-assessments of units and the works of other units.
