| Abstract | There are many carcinogens in workplaces that could cause occupational cancers. Compared with acute toxicity, chronic toxicity is a property of a substance that has toxic effects on a living organism when that organism is exposed to the chemicals continuously or repeatedly. Due to the increasing awareness of the importance of chronic toxicity or carcinogenicity studies, this type of research is on the rise, as much information can be gained from investigating occupational cancers. This study involves a critical review of the recent literature relating to chronic-inhalation or carcinogenicity tests that have been reported regarding inhalation exposure in laboratory animals, including rats and mice. Many of the chronic-inhalation/carcinogenicity studies are performed by governmental and for-profit-organizations, such as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), the Japan Bioassay Research Center (JBRC), and the Battelle Institute, etc. As research leads to the development of novel types of industrial chemicals, there is a growing need to understand and evaluate the health impacts of these new chemicals in terms of occupational cancers; thus it is essential that we undertake proper and informative research and decision-making. Future research is needed to better characterize the toxicity associated with the chronic inhalation of chemicals and to refine the development of toxicity values. The Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (OSHRI) in Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) are attempting to develop a robust system for chronic-inhalation/carcinogenicity studies and our goal is to undertake multiple studies to prevent occupational cancers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
