Abstract

This study consisted of a bibliographical survey in the databases LILACS, MEDLINE and ILO-CIS BULLETIN - SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK, with a view to identifying the main agents that can favor contact with these risks and cause health alterations in nursing workers. 37 articles were found, only four of which were published in national journals. Articles reported on the detection of chemical risks in the manipulation of cytostatic drugs; in the exposure to anesthetic gases, formaldehyde/glutaraldehyde vapor and sterilizing gases, among others.

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
 Authors are fully responsible for the concepts disseminated in their manuscripts, which do not necessarily reflect the editors’ and editorial board’s opinion.
