Insight Exposure & Risk Sciences

Insight Exposure & Risk Sciences will be at Occupational and Environmental Exposure of the Skin to Chemicals (OEESC) in Herndon, Virginia from September 23-25, 2024. To learn more about our latest dermal exposure research, join our sessions and connect with our Insight team (Jennifer Sahmel, Shannon H. Gaffney, PhD, MHS, CIH, FAIHA, Scott Dotson, PhD, CIH, DABT, FAIHA, Jonathan Heywood, MPH, Heather Avens, PhD, MS, CIH, Josh Maskrey, CIH, Fian Louie, Deanna Badger, and Kathy Chan) at the conference. We hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/g7hcjvt7   #OEESC #AIHA #dermalexposure #OEHS #industrialhygiene

Insight scientist Jonathan Heywood was the lead author on a recently published study evaluating the pharmacology and toxicology of kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), an herbal product from Southeast Asia with a growing user population in the United States. Take a look at the authors’ findings, which included an exposure assessment for various kratom products, overview of key alkaloids, and recommendations for industry: https://lnkd.in/gchKp7AG #kratom #mitragynine #toxicology #pharmacology #exposureassessment

Insight scientist Jonathan Heywood recently authored a review article evaluating the risks of electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) aerosol exposures among users with a margin of exposure (MoE) approach for two non-carcinogens (methylglyoxal, butyraldehyde) and a cancer risk analysis for the carcinogen N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN).

Insight scientist Rachel Zisook recently co-authored a review article focused on exposure studies reporting potential respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposures during the use of common construction materials, including concrete, brick, mortar, engineered stone, and roof tile. Available data were compiled in an exposure database and analyzed by material type, task, sample duration, and control method. Recommendations were provided for harmonizing future research.

Insight scientists Tyler Ferracini, Sarah Brown, Brooke Donovan Simmons, Heather Avens, PhD, MS, CIH, Shannon H. Gaffney, PhD, MHS, CIH, FAIHA, Scott Dotson, PhD, CIH, DABT, FAIHA, and Jennifer Sahmel recently published a paper that evaluates potential airborne asbestos exposures during brake maintenance and repair activities on an overhead crane, and during subsequent handling of the mechanic’s clothing.

Insight scientist Jason Lotter, CIH's session at AIHA Connect was recently featured in The Synergist! Following recent new EPA TSCA regulations for asbestos and methylene chloride, Jason advised attendees on chemical monitoring, risk management, and interpreting, anticipating, and preparing for significant new regulation. He encouraged OEHS professionals to focus on recordkeeping, documentation, and data collection and analysis. #AIHA #IndustrialHygiene #OccupationalHealth #TSCA https://lnkd.in/g7Mm8y95
