This review explores UFP concentrations and particle number size distributions (PNC-PNSD) in various transportation hotspots, including road traffic, airports, harbors, trains, and urban commuting modes (walking, cycling, bus, tram, and subway). The results highlight the lack of information on personal exposure at harbors and railwa...

Interprofessional supervision among allied health professionals: a systematic scoping review

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClinical supervision typically occurs between clinicians who are trained in the same discipline, and this assumption is present across much of the relevant literature. However, the use of interprofessional supervision (IPS), wherein clinicians do not share the same discipline, has increased in recent years. As IPS increases in usage, it is key that the implications of this approach are explored. In order to map the existing evidence, a scoping review was conducted to explore what is known about the use of IPS across five a...

Variation in occupational exposure risk for COVID-19 workers compensation claims across pandemic waves in Ontario
Conclusions
Occupational exposures were consistently associated with increased risk of WR-C19, although the magnitude of this relationship differed across pandemic waves in Ontario. Preparation for future pandemics should consider more accurate reporting of WR-C19 infections and the potential dynamic nature of occupational exposures.

Occupational COVID-19: can we claim that compensation is causation?
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it became immediately clear that the so-called ‘essential’ workers, forced to continue their jobs to provide vital society services despite the infection risk, would have paid the highest health price. This was gloomily confirmed globally, especially for healthcare workers (HCWs) who became unvoluntary ‘heroes’ of the pandemic.1 Since then, several epidemiological studies, mainly based on record linkage of large population survey data, have identified occupations beyond HCWs at increased COVID-19 risk, such as in social service, education, food manufactu...

Trends in work-related respiratory diseases attributed to nickel, chromium and cobalt in the UK: descriptive findings from The Health and Occupation Research (THOR) network 1996-2019
Conclusions
Over 24 years, a decline in the incidence of metal-related occupational respiratory diseases was observed in the UK. This could be attributed to improvements in working conditions which resulted in reduced metal exposure but could also be due to closure of industries that might have generated case returns.

Relationship between trauma, psychological distress and help-seeking among corrective service workers
Conclusions
CSWs were found to be experiencing probable PTSD at higher rates than reported in previous studies. Relatively few intended to seek help from mental health services, despite being provided with personalised screening and feedback along with access to specialised care. Future research should investigate the potential role of organisational support as a facilitator of help-seeking within this population. (Source: Occupational and Environmental Medicine)

Prenatal and early life exposure to air pollution and the risk of severe lower respiratory tract infections during early childhood: the Espoo Cohort Study
Conclusions
We provide evidence that ambient air pollution exposure during the first year of life increases the risk of LRTIs during the first 2 years of life. SO2, PM2.5 and NO2 were found to contribute the highest weights on health effects. (Source: Occupational and Environmental Medicine)

Changes in work schedule affect headache frequency among Norwegian nurses: a 3-year-follow-up study
Conclusion
Changing from night work and reducing the number of night shifts and quick returns were associated with less headache in this 3-year-follow-up of Norwegian nurses. This adds to the growing body of evidence that night work may have direct negative health consequences. (Source: Occupational and Environmental Medicine)
