Determination Of Seasonal Indoor/Outdoor Fungal Ratios And Indoor Bacterial Levels In Non-Complaint Office Buildings, Grady Lynn Holt Jan 1993

Determination Of Seasonal Indoor/Outdoor Fungal Ratios And Indoor Bacterial Levels In Non-Complaint Office Buildings, Grady Lynn Holt

All ETDs from UAB

There were six primary objectives of this study. The objectives included the determination of (1) baseline seasonal airborne fungal and bacterial levels in three normal or non-complaint office buildings in three different cities, (2) which monitored factors affect bioaerosol levels, (3) whether indoor and outdoor levels are correlated or from the same distribution, (4) median indoor/outdoor fungal ratio, (5) whether fungal genera found indoors are similar to those found outdoors, and (6) the coefficient of variation of the sampling method. A non-complaint office building was defined as one in which no employee complaints associated with indoor air quality had been …


The Descriptive Epidemiology Of Major Salivary Gland Tumors, John Alexander Pinkston Jan 1993

The Descriptive Epidemiology Of Major Salivary Gland Tumors, John Alexander Pinkston

All ETDs from UAB

Salivary gland tumors are uncommon, and their epidemiology has not been well described. A descriptive epidemiologic study of major (parotid, submaxillary, and sublingual) salivary gland tumors newly diagnosed in Jefferson County, Alabama hospitals from 1968-1989 was conducted. Medical records were reviewed and data on numerous factors of possible etiologic importance were abstracted. Incidence rates were estimated using a population based subset of cases (incidence series). Six hundred eighty-two cases of salivary gland tumors were identified, of which 149 were Warthin's tumors. Warthin's tumor was found to be strongly associated with cigarette smoking. Using other tumors as a control group, the …


Osha Program Assessments As Predictors Of Safety Performance, William Howard Weems Jan 1993

Osha Program Assessments As Predictors Of Safety Performance, William Howard Weems

All ETDs from UAB

This study examined the effectiveness of OSHA's safety program assessment method in predicting workplace safety performance. The OSHA system for evaluating safety programs involves 22 indicators which are rated by state consultants following a comprehensive safety survey of each evaluated company. Program ratings form the basis for the consultant's recommendations regarding management of safety within each company. In addition, these program ratings are among the criteria which determine a company's eligibility for exemption from routine OSHA inspection. The effectiveness of the rating system, however, has never been evaluated. A sample of 120 companies was selected from 328 companies receiving initial …
