From microbial characterization to mechanistic dose-response: contributing an integrated framework in waste sorting industry
| Resumo: | Occupational Health Challenges: 1. Complex fungal contamination: workers exposed to complex mixtures of fungal contaminants across sorting plants and collection trucks; 2. Mycotoxin exposure routes: multiple exposure pathways including inhalation, dermal contact, and inadvertent ingestion; 3. Poorly characterized risks: limited understanding from an exposure science perspective, despite waste management being essential; 4. Protection gaps: current protective measures may be insufficient given contamination complexity. |
