Report from Centre for Medicine and Technology for Work Life and Society at Lund University (METALUND) 1. Answers to the questions to the rector of the university

1.1 The role of METALUND in the overall research profile of Lund University and the process and criteria used for selecting FAS Centre applicants METALUND is a transdisciplinary research environment that contributes strongly to the overall research profile of Lund University, where occupational and environmental research and education are among the strong areas. The successful multidisciplinary research across faculty borders as seen within METALUND is in accordance with the Strategic plan for Lund University, which designates four strategies to achieve the highest quality in both education and research: Quality assurance, cross-disciplinary collaboration, internationalisation, and leader, teacher and employee excellence. METALUND contribution to internationalisation is exemplified by current preparations of an agreement of collaboration between METALUND and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Japan. In the recent international evaluation of research at Lund University, (RQ08), major players in METALUND were ranked highly, e.g. several research programs at Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) were ranked as excellent with impact on environmental research worldwide, and the Division of Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology (EAT) as outstanding having one of the leading research laboratories in the world. The University’s selection process prior to submission of proposals to FAS was very thorough and was based on in-depth discussions between University Management and the faculties involved. Final decision on what proposals to be submitted was taken by University Management. An important criterion for selecting METALUND was its potential to form a strong and coherent research environment ensuring the pooling of complementary scientific skills, while avoiding unnecessary duplication. Another criterion was the ability to complement other strong research environments at LU. The management of METALUND rests on solid, long-term co-operation involving two faculties. METALUND is expected to contribute substantially to further strengthening LU’s profile as an internationally leading research university, and at the same time producing high quality research of uttermost societal relevance.

1.2 The relation between the Centre and the rector regarding matters like reporting of activities of the Centre and financial arrangements. In order to facilitate and implement cross-faculty co-operation, an explicit goal is to minimise administrative and organisational barriers in order to optimise efficiency and to obtain positive synergy effects. Thus, the University ensures that there is qualified support at university, faculty and department level, providing qualified administrative advice and services to METALUND. METALUND management reports directly to the deans of the faculties involved (e.g. on financial arrangements, research training, research activities). In the case of the Faculty of Medicine this is exemplified by reporting by the METALUND coordinator at the site visits of the Dean to the Department of Laboratory Medicine, at present twice a year. The deans report to the Vice-Chancellor.

1.3 Effects so far on research and higher education at Lund University Apart from cooperation in research per se, METALUND has increased the number of joint applications, including a recent FORMAS strong research environment application on research for safe and sustainable nano-technology, and an EU-project coordinated from Denmark on health effects from transport. Through METALUND the already world-leading aerosol lab has acquired a clear health relevant profile. METALUND may strengthen the possibility of Lund University to successfully compete for the designated strategic investments put forward in the research bill, e.g. by including relevant and excellent research on the general and occupational environment, as well as providing a strong methodological platform. New PhD-students are currently recruited to projects within METALUND (one at EAT and two at OEM), two more PhDs are currently planned at EAT. The METALUND research school strengthens the research

2

training at the university by providing a multidisciplinary platform, with public seminars with a widened scope, courses and a multidisciplinary network. A number of master projects have also been attached to multi-disciplinary projects within METALUND.

2. Organisation and leadership of METALUND

2.1 Organisation Co-ordinator is Assoc. Prof. Maria Albin, OEM, and the deputy co-ordinator is Prof. Mats Bohgard, EAT They have an overall responsibility for the Centre, and co-ordinate the work between the project groups, chair and organise meetings of the General Assembly (GA) and the Centre Management Committee (CMC). The CMC consists of the two co-ordinators and the heads of OEM and EAT and makes strategic decisions, including contractual, financial, personnel and management matters. The CMC is also responsible for conflict arbitration. The GA consists of the project group leaders, the CMC, and other adjunct senior researchers at OEM and EAT. The leaders for the project groups report to the co-ordinators. Each project group has one project co-ordinator and one deputy project co-ordinator, usually one from OEM and one from EAT. The project groups interact strongly with each other; for instance, members of the Stress Group participate in chamber experiments with noise and diesel exhaust run by the Vascular Disease group. The Centre co-ordinators promote methodological platforms, such as joint facilities for the project groups for measurement of heart rate variability and molecular markers, and harmonisation of test protocols between chamber experiments carried out in different projects. The co-ordinators are also responsible for reporting to the faculty deans as well as for communication with society in general.

2.2 Leadership and management Allocations of the financial resources to the project groups and for the management of the Centre were agreed on by the GA in May 2007, and adopted by the CMC in June with a written agreement by OEM and EAT corresponding to the funding period by FAS. The CMC also decided to merge the two seminar series at EAT and OEM, and to apply for a research school attached to the Centre. The GA has convened twice a year and made decisions concerning the web site, communication and reporting within the Centre, major joint applications, and suggestions with regard to members of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Stakeholders Group. The organisation runs smoothly and thus it has not been necessary to make full use of the executive force of the CMC. To optimise synergistic effects within the Centre, the co-ordinators have paid much attention to the organisation of joint fora, such as the weekly research seminars, conference meetings within, as well as co-ordination between, the project groups. Several new innovative project ideas have emerged (see further Research Programme). The Centre is well prepared to induct a new generation of scientists as principal investigators for the project groups when changes are needed. The critical mass is present, as well as excellent structures to foster these leaders, and a continuous discussion and follow-up. Thus, for instance, the OEM leadership for the project group on musculoskeletal disorders has, as indicated in the application, changed from S Skerfving to C Nordander. Within the budget frames allocated to each project group, decisions on research activities, budget and recruitment of researchers /PhD students are delegated to the project group, but regularly reported to the co-ordinators and the GA. The Centre has appointed an international Scientific Advisory Committee consisting of J P Bonde (Denmark), A Burdorf (Netherlands), A Hale (Netherlands), W Koch (Germany), C Mapp (Italy), and P Örbaek (Denmark). The committee provides scientific advice to the Centre. A two-day meeting with the international scientific advisory committee was organized in October 2007 with specific seminars on the plans for selected project groups, as well as general discussions on research strategies for the Centre. The co-ordinators of the Centre now have more formalised roles within the respective faculties as compared to when the application was written. Much owing to the establishment of METALUND, Maria Albin received a full-time university position starting 2009, and is deputy head of OEM. Mats Bohgard is now head of EAT and director of studies for PhD students at the division.

3. The research programme

3.1 Musculoskeletal disorders - novel approaches Project group leaders: Dr. Catarina Nordander, PhD, OEM / Dr. Lars Hanson, PhD, EAT Development of techniques for quantitative measurement of physical workload Techniques for quantitative measurement of workload (electromyography, wrist goniometry, inclinometry of upper arms/neck/head/upper back, computer manikins for positions) are continuously developed. To measure rotation, a torsiometer has been applied, and is presently validated. Variation in exposure over time is still a main focus, and was investigated among meat cutters. Efforts are made to improve user-friendliness and availability of the methods.

Definition of exposure/risk in widely different work settings Exposure has been defined and reported among air-traffic controllers, industrial workers, hairdressers, and dentists. We currently investigate physical exposure and muskuloskeletal disorder (MSD) prevalence among supermarket cashiers. Methods to clinically assess MSDs in a standardised way have been refined for use as a screening-tool in occupational healthcare. Presently, a main focus area is modelling of relationships between MSDs and physical and psychosocial work environment factors. We have so far modelled risk of forearm/hand disorders (see also Project group Risk Assessment). Interventions and risk assessment Proposals of new, better workplace arrangements will be built in a laboratory setting and the workload will be measured. After transfer into the worksites, the load will be measured under real conditions and the occurrence of MSD in the workers will be followed prospectively. In cooperation with the surgery department, Helsingborg hospital, on the design of a sustainable workplace, OpDesign 2012, we will study the design of the physical environment as well as organization and methods to carry out the job. About 100 subjects have been examined for MSD. Physical exposure will be measured in spring 2009. We have identified troublesome ergonomic situations and will suggest solutions for which we will also estimate the physical exposure (data simulation/ manikins), and expected risk of MSD.Other studied aspects include visual ergonomics, prevention of over-heating of the staff during surgery through vests made from a material for which the melting point can be varied, and psycho-social stress ( project group Stress and related health problems) when the surgical environment changes. Effects of exposure to toxic metals and POPs on skeletal bone density/fractures In 911 women (age 60-70) examined for bone mineral density in 1991-96, biobanked blood samples were analysed for cadmium (Cd), persistent organic pollutants (POPs; PCB and DDE) and markers of bone metabolism. We found negative association between Cd and bone markers, which, however, disappeared when adjusted for smoking. Since smoking contributes both Cd and other possible bone-affecting agents, we do not know whether the effect is due to confounding. A positive (sic) association was see between DDE and bone markers, possibly due to confounding by other agents in fat fish (e.g.: Vitamin D), which is the major source of POPs. In a study of osteoporotic fractures, erythrocyte samples from 107 cases of hip fracture, biobanked before the accident, and from 200 matched referents have been analysed for cadmium. The data are under compilation and analysis. New projects We are starting collaboration with the social security authority and the Department for orthopaedics, Lund University in the MORSE-project (Diminished MSD in the Skåne region). We will follow health care consumption and sick leave due to possibly work-related MSDs in a registry study of the entire adult population in Skåne in occupations previously assessed by our technical measurements as having high physical exposure through. The project at the hospital in Helsingborg is also new and has been initiated as a direct effect of the MetaLund funding. The Ramazzini Centre in Denmark will in collaboration with us register shoulder postures and movements among 400 subjects in different occupations. 3.2 Airway diseases Project group leaders: Prof. Bo Jönsson, OEM/ Prof. Mats Bohgard, EAT Research programme: There are a number of projects connected to studies on relations between air pollutants and airways effects in which METALUND researchers are involved. These are performed in co-operation with various international partners. In this report we briefly describe two studies (supported

4

by FAS and FORMAS) using methodologies which exploit the full strength of combined advanced equipment and the leading competences of OEM and EAT. This has facilitated the realisation of an internationally unique opportunity to perform studies on effects of nano-sized particles on humans. The aim is to find relations between exposure to nano-sized particles and effects on humans. The work includes studies of human exposure to nanoparticles, symptoms, airway reactivity and markers for oxidative stress/inflammation. The study groups consist of male black steel welders, exposed to nanoparticles used in the metallurgical industry and females exposed to indoor air particles from common sources. In a number of field studies, particles from welding and common general indoor sources have been characterised. Characteristic features of welding particles and general indoor particles have been produced in a provocation chamber model system where three persons simultaneously are exposed to particle concentrations which normally occur in the real environments. In the chamber, particle size and concentrations can be controlled as well as ventilation rate, temperature and relative humidity. The airborne particles are characterised with state-of-the-art-techniques and with unique equipment specifically developed for the provocation studies (e.g a system which measures particle deposition in the airways is used). All participants are subjected to standardised medical examinations including, symptoms, rhinometry, lung function and bronchial reactivity. Nasal lavage, breath condensate and blood samples are collected before and after the provocation for biomarkers of oxidative stress/ inflammation, and relevant genetic polymorphisms. Changes in protein and RNA patterns between symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects in the field study, as well as in the provocation study, will give new health-related biomarkers, useful for diagnostics and understanding of disease mechanisms. Results so far: A methodology has been developed which includes a unique combination of technical equipment for well controlled provocation studies with advanced aerosol characterisation methods, and advanced biomedical methods for biomarker identification, and determination of particle deposition in the airways. A number of abstracts have been presented at different conferences. Some of these results are also presented in draft manuscripts. There have been no delays concerning start-up of research activities. Future plans and new projects that have been initiated: A new project concerning exposure to diesel exhaust particles and noise, and the health effects caused by this exposure has been initiated within METALUND. In addition, we have submitted or will in the near future submit several new applications . E.g. an application for a new excellence centre at Lund University concerning production and health effects of nanoparticles has been sent to FORMAS. Also, many new applications will be sent to FAS this year. The Centre participates in an EU-application on relations between particles emitted from road traffic and health. Applications on studies of indoor air and biological effects have also been and will be submitted.

3.3 Vascular disease Project group leaders: Prof. Mats Bohgard, EAT/Associate Prof. Karin Broberg, OEM

The research projects: - Do nanoparticles affect the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD)? Airborne nanoparticles (1-100 nm) from welding activities and from common general indoor sources are generated into an exposure chamber. Healthy volunteers are exposed using the same setting, and double blind protocol as described by the airway disease project group. ECG is recorded in 10 minute intervals before, during and after the exposure. Fourier analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) spectra is performed to distinguish between sympathetic and parasympathetic components. We will proceed with recordings in volunteers exposed to various combinations of noise levels and air concentrations of diesel exhaust particles. The studies are performed in close co-operation with the Dept of Cardiology at Karolinska Institute (Dr I Hagerman).

- What is the relationship between traffic noise, air pollution and cardiovascular disease)? What are the effects of “salutogenic” surroundings? We have modelled exposure to community noise and air pollution for the 1.1 million inhabitants in Skåne using geographical information systems (GIS). Corresponding maps indicative of potentially “salutogenic” characteristics of the natural surroundings will be updated for urban areas. A case-control study of associations between stroke, air pollution and noise exposure is currently performed.

- Do toxic metals affect the risk for CHD ? Modifications by genetic polymorphisms and nutritional factors? Cases of CHD will be identified in the large biobank in Umeå (90,000 samples). Blood samples from the cases and the matched referents will be analysed for mercury, lead and cadmium, and polymorphisms in genes involved in the metabolism of the metals, and in the protection against oxidative stress. The materials will be merged with similar groups in Finland in a large, integrated scientific network (PHIME).

Results so far: We have developed methods for provocation to nanoparticles and subsequent analysis of HRV, and study of fast changes on the gene level (incl gene selection) in response to nanoparticles, comparing gene expression before, during and after exposure. We have identified genetic markers that influence the metabolism of methylmercury and arsenic. The markers for methylmercury metabolism have also been evaluated in a case-control study. One of the markers involved in the synthesis of glutathione, modified the influence of methylmercury and polyunsaturated fatty acids on acute myocardial infarction risk. In one study, fish intake protected against stroke among women, but was a risk factor among men. However, no association between mercury or polyunsaturated fatty acids and stroke was found. In a cross-sectional study we observed associations between exposure to road traffic noise and hypertension, mainly in middle-aged subjects. No interaction was indicated with sex or socioeconomic indicators.

Future plans: In addition we will analyse: 1) How other specific exposures, such as arsenic, influence the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesize that arsenic induces CVD through interference with the one-carbon metabolism, and will investigated this in a unique material we have collected in the Argentinean Andes from 240 individuals, by analysing levels of homocysteine in plasma in relation to levels of arsenic in urine. 2) How new genetic markers can modify the risk of particles or other exposures on CVD. In this we will include telomere length, which is a marker of biological age, 3) Associations between road traffic noise and hypertension using a longitudinal approach.

3.4 Kidney disease and diabetes Project group leaders: Dr Anna Rignell-Hydbom, OEM / Prof. Staffan Skerfving, OEM Overall aim: We will elucidate the effect of exposure to toxic metals on terminal kidney disease, and effect modification by diabetes, as well as the impact on risk for diabetes per se from exposure to toxic metals (cadmium), persistent organic pollutants (POP), and air pollution. Results so far: A. Persistent organochlorine pollutants and type 1 diabetes among children from Malmö area. Venous blood samples and cord blood samples have been collected at delivery from every mother in Malmö since 1970. Among the 70,000 children 160 have developed type 1 diabetes (cases) before 30 years of age. We have analyzed biomarkers for POPs (CB-153 and p,p’-DDE) in stored serum from the case and control mothers. B. Air pollution and type 1 diabetes among infants in Skåne. A nested case-control study will be performed on associations between exposure to air pollution and development of auto antibodies to insulin (IAA) and type 1 diabetes. The study base (DIPIS project=Diabetes Prediction In Scania) includes detailed information on 35 000 children born in 2001-2004. C. Exposure to cadmium, lead and mercury and end-stage renal disease, and diabetes. The relationship between exposure to heavy metals (cadmium, lead and mercury) and end-stage renal disease (uraemia) have been investigated in a population-based study using biobanked (Malmö and Umeå) erythrocyte samples taken before diagnosis in 167 cases and in 355 controls. In a similar approach associations are explored between exposure to cadmium and diabetes (types I and II) using erythrocyte samples biobanked in Umeå before diagnosis in 157 cases and in 314 controls. The metal analyses have been completed for both studies, polymorphisms in genes affecting the metabolism of metals will be determined. Moreover, we analyse cadmium, mercury and lead in blood and urine, and several urinary markers of kidney effects (albumin and retinol binding protein) in 801 adolescents from various parts of Belgium (where the background exposure is higher than in Sweden). The analytical work is close to finished and data compilation and analysis is ongoing. Future plans: A programme coordinated from OEM in Lund was recently awarded grants for research within this area (SIMSAM Early Life, 14 200 000 SEK for 2009-2013, coordinated by PhD Anna Rignell-Hydbom). Within this programme other environmental pollutants and the association between type 1 and 2 diabetes will be investigated.

3.5 Cancer and reproductive health outcomes Project group leaders: Assoc. Prof. Lars Rylander and Assoc. Prof. Maria Albin, OEM Overall aim: Several common exposures in the occupational/general environment which have been suggested to be carcinogenic or affect reproduction are investigated with special emphasis on effect modification/interaction and risk quantification in susceptible groups. Reproduction Results so far: The following projects are in different phases, from early collection stage to statistical analyses of collected data; there are also parts that are lately published: Associations between air pollution (especially particles) and reproductive hazards are investigated through mapping (with GIS) of air pollution and socio-economic factors in Skåne for residence-based individual and group (possibly contextual) indicators and linkage to the Medical Birth Register. Foetal exposure to POP (PCB and DDE) and risk for hypospadia and cryptorchidism is investigated in a case-control study within the Southern Sweden Microbiology Biobank (SSMB), containing maternal serum samples taken from 192 000 pregnancies. An ongoing collection of semen and blood samples from military conscripts will enable us to investigate the impact of genetic, environmental and life-style factors on male reproductive function. Future plans: The collaboration between OEM and EAT is of crucial importance for some of the projects, e.g. the access to internationally leading researchers within the field of aerosol science when investigating associations between air pollution and reproductive health”. This collaboration has also lead to a continuation of this project regarding the risk of developing type 1 diabetes which will be funded by FORMAS (see “Kidney diseases and diabetes”). Part of the coming work is included in a recent programme coordinated funded by the Swedish Research Council (SIMSAM Early Life, see Project group Kidney diseases and diabetes). Cancer Results so far: In a case-control study of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a dose-response association was found between smoking and MDS. Associations between smoking and the specific aberrations -5/5q-, -7/7q-, and +8 in AML and MDS were indicated but the estimates were imprecise. Evaluation of occupational exposures is ongoing. Occupational exposure to diesel exhaust was significantly associated with risk for bladder cancer, even at low exposure levels, in a case-control study, using a novel method for probabilistic exposure assessment. Preliminary results indicate that telomere length and genetic variants of genes involved in DNA repair modify the associations between exposure to diesel as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and the risk of developing bladder cancer. Further studies indicate that single nucleotide polymorphisms in low-penetrance genes involved in BLM-associated homologous recombination are associated with increased risk for bladder cancer, melanoma, AML/MDS and breast cancer. We currently conduct a case-control study of dietary acrylamide exposure and risk of endometrial cancer nested within Danish and Swedish bio-banked cohorts (restricted to non-smokers due to the focus on dietary exposure) including 465 cases and an equal number of controls. Hemoglobin adducts of acrylamide will be used as biomarkers of exposure and gene-exposure interactions will be explored. Future plans: We will continue our work in two directions: 1 Studies of specific exposures, e.g. exposure to carcinogenic aromatic amines from hair dyes among hair dressers and biomonitoring of such exposures and early effects. 2. Extending our platform for studying molecular markers for susceptibility and carcinogenic exposure: This will include setting up biomarkers for DNA-damage such as the comet assay and micronuclei in urine.

3.6 Stress and related health problems Project group leaders: Assoc. Prof. Björn Karlson, OEM/ Prof. Gerd Johansson, EAT Overall aim: The research programme aimed to initially mainly focus on methodological development of novel ways of studying links between work, stress and adverse health effects. The METALUND stress research group was a new constellation without previous collaboration, which is why we started out with a number of half-day brain-storm meetings, and thereafter regular project meetings. A completely new project has been the initiation of laboratory studies by adapting a stress provocation test into a virtual reality (VR) setting.

7

Results so far: Results so far from pilot studies of VR stress provocation test and longitudinal studies of three cohorts of subjects with varying degrees of allostatic load: - A standardized stress provocation test (Trier Social Stress Test (TSST)) has been adapted to a VR environment for the study of lacking habituation capacity as a possible mechanism in the development of stress related adverse health effects. Pilot studies have been accomplished with promising results. Responses to the provocation have been studied with salivary cortisol, self-report, and EEG, analyzed as heart rate (HR), T-wave amplitude (TWA, as a measure of sympathetic activity), and high frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV, as a measure of parasympathetic activity). - In a work site based cohort studied with self-report measures and salivary cortisol we have shown that those with a long-term (over 2-3 ys) high need for recovery displayed an increasing degree of work stress and a flattened diurnal cortisol profile, compared to those with a low need for such recovery. -A cohort of burnout patients similarly studied with self-report measures, salivary cortisol but also cognitive tests was, in initial stages of their clinical burnout episode, shown to report a high degree of subjective cognitive problems, but few detectable deviations in cognitive tests. A follow-up 1-2 years later has been accomplished with a more extensive test battery, although the results are not completely analyzed yet. -A brief screening instrument for early signs of clinical burnout is under development and has been responded to by the patient cohort and by a population based cohort with long-term job stress. The instrument shows a good sensitivity and specificity. Future plans: We plan, given necessary funding, to continue to develop the screening instrument; to accomplish full-scale VR stress provocation test in groups in varying degrees and stages of stress load; to develop other small scale stress habituation tests; to validate a novel stress marker based on pain pressure threshold; to carry out a work site field study with triangulation of observation, self-report and physiological data combined with in-depth studies in VR setting; to participate in a study on genetic polymorphism in burnout. The VR studies have been initiated, as well as co-operation within the METALUND frame on an experimental study on Particles and Noise, and on OpDesign 2012.

3.7 Risk assessment Project group leader: Prof. Ulf Strömberg, OEM Overall aim: To address public health implications based on data from relevant research projects, mainly epidemiological/observational studies. We shall apply probabilistic risk assessment procedures (i.e., quantitative approaches using probabilistic models). Results so far: The essence of probabilistic risk assessment is to quantify uncertainties in data and model assumptions, using statistical techniques such as the Benchmark Dose Approach as well as Monte Carlo and Bootstrap simulations. We have carried out statistical work, using the simulation techniques just mentioned, based on extensive empirical data collected by field studies on several occupational groups. More precisely, we have analysed associations between physical work load (exposure data obtained by measurements on working individuals) and type of work/occupational group. Moreover, we have analysed prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders across various occupational groups. Thereby, we have developed statistical simulation tools using MATLAB [www.mathworks.com]. Future plans: The above-mentioned data on physical work load exposure and musculoskeletal disorders will be analysed further, focusing on exposure-response associations. In on-going work, we explore such associations by meta-regressions (i.e., by using occupational group-level data). We shall then continue with evaluating exposure-response associations using individual-level data. The results will provide a basis for carrying out risk assessment by the Benchmark Dose Approach. Our plan also involve collaborative actions together with the research programme Risk management – aimed at reducing the burden of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in selected high risk work places The project ‘Dietary acrylamide exposure and risk of endometrial cancer’ that has been initiated (see Cancer programme will also provide important data for risk assessment concerning acrylamide exposure and cancer, which is of great concern in Europe and other parts of the world. Ulf Strömberg is involved in planning such risk assessment work, within the EU Network of Excellence ECNIS ( ) – see also Collaborations.

3.8 Risk management Project group leader: Prof. Roland Akselsson, EAT/ Dr Åsa Ek, EAT Research programme: The objectives of the risk management (RM) strand of the METALUND programme are to develop proactive risk management methods and theories for health, safety and environment. Cornerstones in the research are: A systems view, safety management, safety culture, resilience, organisational learning (single and double loop), and system weaknesses . Results so far: During years 1 and 2 of METALUND work, has mostly been carried out in the following five projects/project groups: - LINS: Learning from incidents for improving safety in dangerous operations. Start January 2008. Funding: SRV. Supervised by Roland Akselsson. Anders Jacobsson analysed an EC database on accidents in process industries testing ideas about characterisation of accidents and incidents for efficient mitigation central for the METALUND project group RM. During 2008, site visits (3-5 days) were also made at Akzo Nobel’s site in Stenungsund and Absolut’s site in Nöbbelöv with about 30 interviews per site and with safety culture questionnaires. Reports were sent to the companies for improvement of their safety management. Scientific reports will follow. - HILAS: Human Integration into the Life-cycle of Aviation Systems. This is a major EU-project with about 40 participants from Europe and one from China. - HUFA: Human factors in Aviation services. Support from the LFV group and Eurocontrol. - FRIVA/MTOR: Framework programme for Risk and Vulnerability Analysis supported by the Swedish Emergency Management Authority. - PS: Patient safety in health care. Future plans: The plans are to further increase integration with the medical research with METALUND to learn more about safety management for safety and health.

New projects that have been initiated: The LINS project (see above) started January 2008. Its focus is learning from incidents for process safety and work environment safety. Due to METALUND, interest in work environment health issues has increased. We have also participated to some extent in a pilot project led by an OEM group (H Tinnerberg et al.). The group is also taking a leading role in a workpackage in an application submitted to FORMAS entitled “Research for Safe and Sustainable Nanotechnology (Nanosafety)”. Researchers from METALUND are the main participants in the application. Through the HILAS project we have obtained the right to use a powerful programme for modelling processes in an organisation, MEGA. M Wallergård from the METALUND Stress Group has learned the basics in a course in Dublin. In 2009 we will further explore the feasibility of using MEGA for proactive safety management.

3.10 Strategy for recruitment of researchers

Generally, OEM and EAT recruit students for Master theses in order to get potential candidates for PhD students. PhD students have already been recruited within METALUND, for instance one in proteomics (Airways disease), and one within the OP 2012 project (Musculoskeletal disease). During 2009 we will recruit one new PhD student for the research project on “Telomere length and risk of disease” (Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer), one PhD on biomonitoring of carcinogenic exposure from hair dyes (Cancer), and one or two PhDs within the diabetes and reproduction programmes (METALUND and SIMSAM Early Life). The Risk Management group plans applications for financing new PhD students. A post-doc is planned on gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in collaboration between SIMSAM Early Life and METALUND (Cancer). EAT will recruit three PhD students during the spring 2009.

3.11 Revisions in long term plans and start-up of research activities No major revisions have been made in the long term plans as formulated in the application for the Centre. In the FAS-centre application risk assessment and risk management are held together in one work package. It will take some time to integrate these two concepts as they are used in occupational and environmental medicine and in safety management, respectively. Cooperation with other project groups may be a catalyst and such co-operations are in future plans (see above). The work is proceeding according to the time plan, with some minor modifications.

4. Collaboration 4. 1 Collaboration with other research groups METALUND has extensive collaboration with excellent research groups within and outside Lund University, nationally and internationally. Thus, within Lund University we collaborate with among others the Centre for biomechanics, Sciblu Genomics, and METALUND researchers have key roles in Lund University Centre for Risk Assessment and Management (LUCRAM) and a major multidisciplinary project (FRIVA). Furthermore, we have close collaboration with several departments at the Faculty of Medicine, the Department of Psychology (Faculty of Social Sciences), and the Department of Fire Safety Engineering and Systems Safety (Faculty of engineering) We have close collaboration with many other groups in Sweden, e.g. Chalmers University of Technology, Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, and the Institute for Stress Medicine (ISM) in Gothenburg, Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Swedish National Defence College, Karlstad, the Faculty of Landscape Planning, Horticulture and Agricultural Science, SLU-Alnarp, Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Örebro University, and the Department of Medicine, Umeå University. In addition, we have extensive networks of research groups internationally within the field of occupational and environmental medicine, technical universities and excellent laboratory facilities (Copenhagen University; Technical acoustics, Technical University of Denmark; The Ramazzini Centre, Aarhus University; National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Copenhagen; Kreftens Bekempelse, Copenhagen, Denmark; Telemarks sykehus, and National Institute for Occupational Health, Oslo, Norway; Public health, Kuopio University, Finland; Ludwig-Maximilians University, München, Germany; Instituto di Medicina del Lavoro, Padova, Italy; Jagellonian University, Krakow, Polen; Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL), IMIM, Barcelona; Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona, Spain; Technical University Delft, Netherlands; Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland; Department of Chemistry, Division of Bioengineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass; CDC, Atlanta, US. We also have important extended net-works through our participation in for instance the EU integrated projects PHIME ( ), www.PHIME.org the EU Network of Excellence ECNIS ( ), and EUROHEIS.

www.ECNIS.org

We have embarked on several new collaborative projects with a number of the above mentioned research centres since funding was received. 4.2 Collaboration with industry and other parts of society METALUND is presently forming an advisory Stakeholders group (see Communication and Dissemination). Moreover several research projects within METALUND have specific reference groups

10

involving relevant stakeholders. The field-studies directed towards the occupational environment involve a close collaboration with the involved employers and trade unions. Most project groups also have other types of collaboration with relevant stakeholder. Thus, for instance the Airways project group is collaborating with Skanska on the indoor environment, with Philips (Eindhoven) on evaluation of a new instrument for particle measurements, with VTI and thereby also tyre producers on emission of wear particles, and with Volvo on soot emissions (including a patent). The risk management has close collaboration with e.g. AKZO-Nobel ( Stenungsund), easyJet Aviation (Luton UK), SAS, the LFV-group, groundhandling companies at Arlanda, and some Air Navigation Services in Europe (DLR, DFS and Austrocontrol). In patient safety the group has close collaboration with Lund University hospital and Apoteksbolaget. The ergonomics group has prepared an instruction video and an educational material on standardized clinical examination for musculoskeletal disease and classes are being held continuously which have been shown to be very popular. On demand by the Swedish Work Environment Authority all meat cutters in Sweden will be examined yearly, in many plants by this method.

7. Communication/dissemination activities We have communication/dissemination strategies, including various activities and a web site, for Lund University, the faculties, as well as the scientific community, stakeholders, professionals and the public. Peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, contributions to scientific conferences and meetings, doctoral, licentiate and master theses and technical reports have been published. These are listed in Appendix D. We have been and are active as teachers in various university programmes. In lectures, exercises, laboratory work, etc., examples, equipment, and findings from METALUND activities have been used in teaching on all university levels. Researchers have acted as editors and authors of textbooks for engineering students and for courses in public health. These are listed in Appendix D. A few examples regarding key stakeholders and professionals are given: OEM and the Work Environment Authority district of Skåne have regular communication meetings; Debate on Occupational Healthcare at Elmia Work Environment 2008 (M Albin); Information on METALUND at a meeting with AFA insurance representatives (M Albin, M Bohgard); Presentation for Skanska Research and Development international group: Aerosols in indoor environment (M Bohgard, 2007); Lecture at kick-off meeting for Malmö City’s Environmental Programme 2008 (M Albin); The status of Swedish working life research. Report to FAS. Under preparation (Järvholm B, chair, Albin M, Håkansta C, Johansson G, Wadensjö E); FAS Centre seminar in Brussels, June 2008 (M Albin). Communication with professionals occurs through the Work Environment College at Lund University, with tailor-made courses for trade/industry and trade unions. OEM has also courses for occupational health professionals. A stakeholder group has been established. The members so far include Ethel Forsberg (Director-General, Swedish Chemical Agency), Mikael Sjöberg (Director-General, Swedish Work Environment Authority), Bodil Mellblom (Head of Working Environment Unit, Confederation of Swedish Enterprise), Karin Svensson Smith (Member of Swedish Parliament), Jan Andersson (Member of EU Parliament), Peter Pärt (European Commission. Director-General, Joint Research Centre). Additonal members from trade unions and one national politician will be recruited. The first stakeholder meeting will be held in the autumn 2009. We have been involved as scientific advisors, members of expert committees, etc. Some examples: Criteria Group for Occupational Standards (M Albin); Toxicological Council of the Swedish Chemicals Agency (M Albin); Organisational Committee of the Nordic Work Environment Meeting (M Albin); Editorial Board of “Work and Health” (Arbete och Hälsa) (M Albin); Chairperson of the Swedish Society of Medicine’s Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine (M Albin); Advisor for the European Food Safety Authority (S Skerfving); Allergy Council’s Southern Health Care Region (J Nielsen). From the Faculty of Engineering there are members of ergonomic societies, Swedish Air Care Association, Swedish Association for Occupational Safety and Health, committees of industrial standardisation, etc.

Evaluation of FAS research school Människa, arbete, miljö och hälsa

1. Organisation of the research school Describe the organisation and leadership of the research school including the administrative and scientific qualifications of the director of studies, administrative and scientific tasks. Describe the role of the steering group, if any.

Organization and leadership The research school is closely connected to METALUND. The METALUND base is the 7 projects areas, each one with two senior project managers, usually one from the OEM (Occupational and Environmental Medicine) and one from the EAT (Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology). Its decision-making body is the Centre Management Committee (CMC), which consists of a co-ordinator (Assoc. Prof. Maria Albin), Deputy Co-ordinator (Prof. Gerd Johansson, EAT). Advisory to the CMC is the General Assembly, which consists of project managers and the CMC. The Centre also has an international Scientific Advisory Committee. Co-ordinators for METALUND (Maria Albin and Prof. Mats Bohgard) are scientifically responsible for the research school. Two directors of studies (Karin Broberg, OEM and Åsa Ek, EAT) have the operational responsibility for the research school. Karin Broberg is associate professor in Molecular Occupational and Environmental medicine. She is currently supervising three PhD students, as well as master thesis students, and has been course leader at Lund University. Åsa Ek is doctor and a research associate at EAT. She is currently supervising three PhD students, master thesis students, and is course co-ordinator for a course given at the faculty of engineering. Co-ordinators, directors of study, and two representatives of PhD students in Metalund (Christina Isaxon from EAT and Ronny Kammer from OEM), form a research school board which decides on admissions to courses and course plans. The research school board reports to the CMC, which decides on the budget and courses. Secretary Jenny Molested (OEM) is responsible for administrative tasks at the research school. The research school is organised around three activities: 1) Network with meetings every year, 2) Courses, and 3) Seminar series.

2. Goals and strategy for the research school a) Describe how the objectives of the first year have been achieved (by filling

in the table below).

Objective Current status Comments Formation of a network 25 PhD students are part of the

research school network.

Despite a lot of efforts, few PhD students have been recruited from other universities. We will try by personal contact with the supervisors, to reach other departments as well.

Network meeting 22-23 Oct 2008 Successful kick-off rendering a lot of input and ideas for the future work of the research school.

Course in “Biostatistics 17-21 Nov, 16-17 Dec 2008 Well-rated course from the students.

and Epidemiology” Seminar series for PhD students and supervisors at OEM and EAT

Program Spring and Autumn 2008

Several of the PhD students of the network have presented their projects.

Funding for multidisciplinary supervision

One PhD student has received funding for supervision of a scientist from another faculty

We will continue to inform about this possibility in order to facilitate the multidisciplinarity within Metalund.

b) Describe also the plan for continuing the school, how you plan to fulfill the

aims of the school as described in the call: • a structured programme with joint courses and seminars of high

scientific and pedagogic quality The first network meeting and the first course given by the research school received very good evaluation, both for its scientific as well as its pedagogic quality, from the participants. We will continue working with our programme with two courses per year: one focused on methods and one specific for a research area. The next year, the research school will offer one method course focused on “Risk assessment and management” (planned for Nov 2009) and one specific course on “Aerosols and health” (Aug/Sep 2009). Also, during the Spring and Autumn, there will be seminar series where the PhD students participate by presenting their own projects as well as taking part in the discussions of the work of others. There will be two yearly meetings for the network (not one as outlined in the application), where the participants can discuss their individual projects as well as common aspects of PhD studies and research problems of the METALUND research area. The next network meeting is planned for 5-6 of May 2009.

• clear organisation and leadership The work of the research school has so far worked smoothly and we will continue with the above outlined structure of the organisation and leadership. The structure of the research school and the name of the directors of study are presented on the home page of the research school (http://www.design.lth.se/projekt/metalund/forskarskola/om_forskarskolan/). . • sufficient national basis of doctoral students At present, there are 25 PhD students in the network and 14 students participated in the first course on “Biostatistics and epidemiology”. We would like to increase the number of participants for, in particular, the network. This will be possible during 2009, when several new PhD students are being recruited at OEM and EAT. However, we also would like to increase the number of PhD students coming from other universities. We have tried to reach as many senior scientists as well as PhD students as possible, both nationally as well as in the Nordic countries. However, information by e-mail appears not to be sufficient. Therefore, the research school will inform by personal contacts in the future.

• clear rules for course examinations Different examination forms are used in different courses: e.g., seminar presentations, literature summaries, specific task related to the PhD project and

14

the course content. Also scheduled exams may be used. However, the course examinations necessary for passing the course, are clearly stated in the course plan. The course plan is, before the course is given, approved by the research committee of the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University and presented at the home page/sent out to the students two weeks before course start. The research committee is also recommending the number of credits that should be given for each course. • admission to research school courses through public announcements

(öppen utlysning) The courses are announced on the home page of the research school (http://www.design.lth.se/english/projects/metalund/research_school/about_the_research_school/ and in Swedish: http://www.design.lth.se/projekt/metalund/forskarskola/om_forskarskolan/), and on the home page of the medical faculty (http://www.med.lu.se/utbildning/utbildning_paa_forskarnivaa/forskarutbildningskurser/kurser_hoesten_2008). Information about the courses is also sent by e-mail to individuals with a potential interest in the research school activities (the list now covers about 500 names).

3. Doctoral courses of the research school

Describe: a) the strategy for development of courses and list the started/planned doctoral courses. Two courses are given each year, were one is a basic recurrent methodology course and the other is aimed at a specific research topic. There are two basic recurrent methodology courses, the first is “Biostatistics and epidemiology” (year 1 and 3), and the second is “Risk assessment and management” (year 2 and 4). The course “Biostatistics and epidemiology” was held Nov/Dec 2008. The content of the courses specializing in specific research areas are formulated i) through discussions during network meetings where doctoral students can forward their needs, ii) through discussions about research questions between supervisors and their students. Furthermore, the doctoral student’s individual research work serves as a basis when formulating and designing individual course examination tasks within a course. For 2009, the planned doctoral courses are “Aerosols and health”, Aug/Sept 2009; “Risk assessment and management”, Nov 2009. b) the strategy and organisation for inviting applications for enrolment of

doctoral students for the courses. At different universities and research institutes in Sweden there are a number of doctoral students focusing on research areas related to METALUND and

15

therefore can be potential applicants to courses given at the research school. Continuous information about the METALUND network and research school and invitations to courses are given through emails to research groups and individuals at Swedish universities and research institutes. Information about METALUND has also been sent to the Nordic neighbouring countries. Information by e-mail appears not to be sufficient. Therefore, the research school will also inform by personal contacts in the future. Information about the research school and how to apply to courses is also presented on the METALUND homepage as stated above.

c) the procedure and criteria for the selection of students to the courses. When wanting admission to a course the doctoral student writes a ‘letter of intent’ were a brief description of his/her thesis subject is given and a motivation of how the current course fits in the context of the research subject. The formal conditions of admission to a course are that i) the student is registered as a doctoral student in a relevant research area, ii) the student has a supervisor and iii) the student has a certificate from the supervisor saying that the course promote the student’s education.

When the maximum number of students in a course is being reached, admission to the course is based on the following criteria: i) doctoral student at METALUND departments, ii) admitted to the METALUND network, iii) doctoral student with a research plan were the content is related to METALUND basic goals, and iv) researcher at a post-doc level in a research field closely related to the course subject.

d) number of positions that have been declared open, number of applicants per position (each position separately).

The research school does not have a specific number of open positions to which you can apply. Nevertheless, the methodology courses will accept 20-25 students each. The specialized courses will accept 15-20 students each. The network meetings will accept about 40 participants.

4. Doctoral students of the research school List the doctoral students participating in the school in table 1 of Appendix C. Indicate whether the doctoral student is connected to the Centre or comes from outside the Centre. See table 1 in Appendix C.

Appendix D

Publications from METALUND staff 2007 -2009 The list of publications consists of publications with co-authors from Metalund staff with subjects which fall into the scope of Metalund. As the Metalund centre formally started 2007, a large part of the collection of data etc was performed before the official start of Metalund. The number of joint projects between staff at the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of technology has increased, as can be seen from recently submitted abstracts.

The list includes 87 accepted (13 in 2009, 61 in 2008, and 13 in 2007), and 26 submitted peer-review publications, 82 conference contributions (17 in 2009, 49 in 2008, and 16 in 2007), 13 books/chapters in books, 5 doctoral theses, 1 licenciate thesis, 11 reports and 12 selected public service publications.
