Description
GENERAL SCOPE OF AAEM - Diseases associated with agriculture, forestry, and food-industry, particularly those caused by biohazards (allergic and immunotoxic diseases, zoonoses): study of exposure, characterisation of agents, experimental models, epidemiological and clinical reports.
- Because of the similarity of the pathomechanisms, the editors are also interested in papers on biohazards causing diseases in other environments (sewage and waste handling, cotton industry, mouldy houses, etc.).
- Health effects of chemical pollutants in agricultural areas, including occupational and non-occupational effects of agricultural chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers) and effects of industrial disposal (heavy metals, sulphur, etc.) contaminating the atmosphere, soil and water.
- Work-related accidents and injuries in agriculture, forestry, and food-industry: incidence, causes, social aspects and prevention.
- Problems of occupational hygiene in agriculture, forestry and food-industry: study of exposure, epidemiology, prevention.
- Prevention of occupational diseases in agriculture, forestry and food-processing industry, including technical means to minimise occupational exposure to biohazards, problems of health and safety surveillance, health education of workers in specified areas, professional education of medical staff.
- Methods of monitoring biohazards in air, water, soil, products, etc., as well as proposals for standards and norms for these methods.
- Descriptions of occupational and non-occupational environmental factors of importance for human health and disease.
