Acid-Soluble Internal Capsules for Closed-Face Cassette Elemental Sampling and Analysis of Workplace Air
Martin Harper and Kevin Ashley
1. Cellulose ester air sample filters attached to cellulosic
capsules could be digested sufficiently for subsequent
measurement of metals using procedures recommended
in methods published by the following organization(s):
a. International Organization for Standardization
(ISO)
b. ASTM International
c. NIOSH
d. All of the above
e. None of the above
2. The Inter-laboratory Study for assessing the applicability
of cellulose ester air sample filters that include cellulosic
capsules concluded that these internal capsules should
not be used. True or False?
True
False
Assessment of Physiotherapists' Occupational Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields from Shortwave and Microwave Diathermy Devices: A Literature Review
Syed Ghulam Sarwar Shah and Alexandra Farrow
3. Which of the following could increase exposure to non-ionizing
radiation from short wave diathermy machine?
a. Metal objects in the treatment area
b. Curtain fabric between machines
c. Wood plinths for treatments
4. Physiotherapists can protect themselves from non-ionizing
radiation in their workplace by remaining at the designated 'safe'
distance from the machines while in use and wearing protective
fabric/material. True or False?
True
False
Wintertime Factors Affecting Contaminant Distribution in a Swine Farrowing Room
Kelsie A. Reeve, Thomas M. Peters and T. Renée Anthony
5. The operation of pit fans in a closed and heated farrowing
barn has been demonstrated to reduce the hazardous
concentrations of all compounds generated within the room,
thereby minimizing the risk of adverse health effects to workers.
True or False?
True
False
6. The investment of time required to generate mapped exposure
concentrations from mobile sampling throughout the farrowing
room provided significantly better characterization of room
concentrations than the deployment of several stationary
monitors. True or False?
True
False
Inhalation Exposure to Cleaning Products: Application of a Two-Zone Model
C. Matt Earnest and Richard L. Corsi
7. Based solely on this paper, what would you recommend to
someone who wished to reduce their exposure to chemicals in
cleaning products?
a. Use less product
b. Increase ventilation
c. Use a pure concentrated product
d. All of the above
e. Both a and b
8. Concentration measurements taken in the breathing zone
tend to be lower than concentration measurements taken
elsewhere in a room in which a cleaning product is being
applied. True or False?
True
False
Wearing Ambidextrous Vinyl Gloves Does Not Impair Manual Dexterity
Tomas Drabek, Charles D. Boucek and Charles W. Buffington
9. The 'grooved pegboard test' is primarily used to determine
the degree of ambidexterity among health care workers.
True or False?
True
False
10. According to these findings, wearing ill-fitting vinyl gloves
did not degrade manual dexterity. True or False?
True
False
ATP as a Marker for Surface Contamination of Biological Origin in Schools and as a Potential Approach to the Measurement of Cleaning Effectiveness
Richard J. Shaughnessy, Eugene C. Cole, Demetrios Moschandreas and Ulla Haverinen-Shaughnessy
11. Measured ATP in a school environment could provide clues
regarding cleaning effectiveness because its presence
is directly proportionate to viral load. True or False?
True
False
12. Findings from this paper and its successors generally support
the notion that dampness and mold problems, as well as
building airflow and ventilation could be important for student
exposures to airborne chemical pollutants and perhaps even
students' academic performance. True or False?
True
False
