Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA-83-348-1397: Littleton Historical Museum; Littleton, Colorado
No full textWorker exposures to ethylene-oxide (75218) (EO) were investigated on September 15 and 16, 1983 at the Littleton Historical Museum (SIC- 8411) in Littleton, Colorado. The evaluation was requested by the employees who used EO to fumigate museum artifacts. Breathing zone and area air samples were collected in the fumigation chamber and analyzed for EO, and three exposed workers were questioned about exposure related health symptoms. EO concentrations were as high as 137 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) during and after EO fumigation. The OSHA 8-hour time weighted average standard is 90mg/m3. Exposures were greatest inside the chamber while workers were removing the artifacts. There was no dilution or exhaust ventilation in the room where the chamber was located. None of the three workers questioned reported any health symptoms associated with work. The author concludes that a severe hazard from EO exposure exists at all times when the fumigation chamber is used. Due to the way that the chamber is constructed and the extreme toxicity of EO, it would be almost impossible to operate the chamber without seriously overexposing the workers. The author recommends that the chamber should not be used until a suitable way is found to drastically reduce EO exposures; ventilation would not be feasible or economical. An aeration chamber should be used to hold articles during post fumigation

Dear Brother
On yesterday I arrived at home having been absent on the District since the 12th of February and today received your letter with ten others from various parts U.S.
Be assured that your letters are always welcome and read with much interest. While tracing your thoughts in reading your epistle a numerous train of emotions of scenes past rushed on my mind and I could but act the child in yielding to my feelings.
Rejoice to hear that you and your better self are well. Mrs F. and myself were pleased to hea

My very dear M.
We all reached this place last night in good spirits; had meeting, good congregations. No visible excitement. My faith is still strong that our meeting will be profitable.
We intend to hold a two days meeting in San Augustine next Saturday & Sunday 8 and 9th inst. Please let Brother Hamilton know of it that it may be published on tomorrow in town at the meeting.
You may look for me by dinner on Monday so that I may be able for the trip to Sabine.
Dear M. I have often prayed for you since my departure from home. You have been constantly on my mind. Trust that God will make you his child before I see you, that you may be a new creature and have the evidence that you have passed from death unto life.
Pray for your unworthy husband and the success of this meeting.
My love to Mrs Porter, also to Symmes who I know is a good boy and will do all he can for your comfort.
God bless you my dear M.
Your devoted husband

Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
No full textThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories
Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA 2000\u20130397\u20132863: Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant, Englewood, Colorado
No full textThe National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a health hazard evaluation (HHE) request from a representative of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for assistance in determining if workers' lung problems could be related to exposures encountered while working at the Littleton/Englewood Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). An opening conference and a walkthrough survey were conducted on January 11-12, 2001. Survey monitoring for the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas was conducted. Respiratory health questionnaires were distributed to all current operations and maintenance employees. Results from the medical respiratory questionnaire indicate that the prevalence of self-reported bronchitis in operations and maintenance employees at the WWTP was similar to that in the general population. At the time of the investigation, the Littleton/Englewood WWTP appeared to be a well-controlled workplace that had implemented a combination of dilution ventilation, managerial controls and, where appropriate, respiratory protection (for certain confined space entry procedures) to protect workers from occupational exposures. Hydrogen sulfide was detected at several locations in the plant, and in the ambient air within the plant. The plant has undergone significant expansion over the years. Changes in work practices at the plant, and improvements in dilution ventilation within the plant, were phased in over a period of time in recent years. These changes were implemented to improve occupational safety and health at the Littleton/Englewood WWTP and appear to be effective at the time of this investigation. An occupational health hazard was not determined to exist at the Littleton/Englewood WWTP during the time of this investigation. However, occupational exposures to plant operators with a long history of employment would be expected to vary considerably over the years as the plant underwent enlargement and process changes. Workers with many years of employment at this WWTP may have incurred occupational exposures which could cause chronic irritant bronchitis. But at the time of this investigation, evidence of any overall increased risks for chronic irritant bronchitis were not found
