Increased Threat on Hand Health Due to the Pandemic Context
Introduction
The ongoing global pandemic has transformed everyday work routines and heightened safety precautions across all sectors.
Laboratory Hazards and Hand Health in Analytical Settings
Laboratories, particularly those involved in analytical and research activities, expose over 500,000 workers in the U.S. to a range of chemical and physical risks.
Laboratory Hazards and Hand Health in Medical and Clinical Settings
Introduction
More than 500,000 workers in the U.S. are employed in laboratory environments, which are governed by specific regulations like OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.1450, designed for non-production laboratories.
Skin Microflora and Its Role on Skin Health
The human skin acts as a complex ecosystem composed of both biological and physical components, maintaining a delicate balance between the host (skin) and its inherent microorganisms, termed "skin microflora."
Skin pH and Its Impact on Health - Understanding the Physiological and Environmental Influences
The skin, serving as the body's primary barrier against external factors, operates optimally within a slightly acidic pH range of 4.0 to 5.5.
Sweat Management and Its Implications for Skin Health in Gloved Environments
Sweating is a natural bodily function essential for regulating body temperature during high environmental temperatures or physical activity.
Understanding the Bioburden Test and Its Importance
The Bioburden test is a critical measure used to determine the level of microbial contamination on a product.
Viral Penetration through Nitrile Gloves: Efficacy and Testing
Introduction
In the context of global health security, personal protective equipment (PPE), such as nitrile gloves, plays a critical role in preventing the transmission of infectious diseases.
What is the barrier of the Skin
Maintenance of an intact skin barrier is very important to prevent contact dermatitis, and to avoid infections and adverse systemic health effects resulting from contact with chemicals from the outside.
Why do Nitrile biodegradable gloves not biodegrade in any environment?
Each geographic area has a unique ecosystem that has a diversity of organisms and is different in composition. Biodegradation is taking place by microorganisms and the rate of biodegradation highly depends on the ecosystem.
