Exposures Moved from Work to Home as a Public Health Hazard

Öz:
There are numerous occupational pollutants originating from a wide variety of industrial areas and working environments. These pollutants can be brought inadvertently from workplace to home in various ways and may negatively affect the health of household. In the literature, this situation was known as para-occupational exposures in the past but today it is referred as take-home exposures. In this review article; transport pathway, the diversity of take-home exposures, the population at risk and occupational security deficits were examined and precautions in reducing the take-home exposures werediscussed. At the same time, take-home exposures were considered as an important public health problem and the contribution of social inequalities to the extent of the problem was also evaluated. It is aimed to help researchers to have a comprehensive view of take-home exposures and to support preventive efforts.

Bir Halk Sağlığı Tehlikesi Olarak İşten Eve Taşınan Maruziyetler

Öz:
Çok çeşitli endüstriyel alanlardan ve çalışma ortamlarından kaynaklanan sayısız mesleki kirletici vardır. Bu kirleticiler çalışanlar tarafından değişik yollarla, farkında olmadan, işten eve taşınabilir ve aile bireylerinin sağlığını olumsuz etkileyebilir. Bu durum literatürde geçmişte iş ile ilgili (para-occupational) maruziyetler, günümüzde ise eve taşınan maruziyetler olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu derleme makalesinde eve götürülen mesleki kirleticilerin taşınma yolları ve çeşitliliği, risk altında olan nüfus ve mesleki güvenlik açıkları incelenmiş, eve götürülen maruziyetleri önleme yolları tartışılmıştır. Aynı zamanda eve taşınan maruziyetler önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak ele alınmış, toplumsal eşitsizliklerin sorunun boyutuna katkısı da değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmacıların eve taşınan işyeri maruziyetleri hakkında kapsamlı bir görüşe sahip olmalarına ve önleme çabalarına yardımcı olmak hedeflenmiştir.
