  • The study shows that the exposure levels in business facilities within the CFTZ were higher than the background radiation level. (ac.ir)
  • VKM has assessed the potential health risk associated with lead exposure from cervid meat, and not the benefits or nutritional value of eating cervid meat. (vkm.no)
  • So, based on the need to surmount these limitations, and a desire to learn more about potential occupational exposures, NEAT was updated. (cdc.gov)
  • In performing the steps above, a comprehensive exposure assessment can be performed and assist with the identification of potential nanomaterial exposure in an occupational setting. (cdc.gov)
  • These smoke particles contain intermediates of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen free radicals, which may pose a potential health risk. (cdc.gov)
  • This risk assessment is not all the time, so explicit, however, it faces a number of limitations that do not get it to reach its optimal potential. (writingscentre.com)
  • Direct exposure to emerging market equities may not be the best way to capture the growth potential of those economies. (benefitscanada.com)
  • The researchers found that this deeper exposure to an emerging economy can indeed be achieved using these industry-specific indexes, while mitigating the potential problems of direct exposure to emerging market securities. (benefitscanada.com)
  • However, if consumed by children, crabs and fish liver would contribute more to the exposure in children than in adolescents and adults because of the low body weight in children and their high energy requirement relative to the body weight. (vkm.no)
  • As is recognized in many guidelines, evidence synthesis requires a broader approach than simply evaluating risk of bias in individual studies followed by synthesis of studies judged unbiased, or with studies given more weight if judged less biased. (nih.gov)
  • Bias assessments are important in evidence synthesis, but we argue they can and should be improved to address the concerns we raise here. (nih.gov)
  • The purpose of the Scientific Discussion (Part 6) of a WHO Public Assessment Report (WHOPAR) is to provide an account of the assessment performed by WHO, as well as a summary of the safety and efficacy of the prequalified product. (who.int)
