Occupational lifting and adverse pregnancy outcome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

abstract：:Dermal uptake of chemicals at the workplace may contribute considerably to the total internal exposure and so needs to be regulated. At present only qualitative warning signs--the "skin notations"--are available as instruments. An attempt was made to develop a quantitative dermal occupational exposure limit (DOEL) com...
