In this study, the authors compared measured concentrations of rubber process dust and rubber fume originating from different sources in the British rubber manufacturing industry.…
Radiation workers are constantly exposed to low background radiation, which is an occupational hazard. This continuous and prolonged exposure produces genotoxicity and cancerous condition in…
In this study, the authors assessed malignant mesothelioma morbidity due to exposure to asbestos in a population living in districts Nova Gorica and Tolmin (49,850…
A common biological effect of exposure to workplace chemicals is sensory irritation. The ACGIH threshold limit values (TLVs) are developed based on data derived from…
In this study, the authors investigated the effect of dimethylformamide (DMF) on liver injury of workers with exposure and occupational health surveillance plan, and the…
Cooking with gas or electrical stoves produces fumes, especially during frying, that contain a range of harmful and potentially mutagenic compounds as well as high…
Particulate matter (PM) exposure has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, possibly resulting from hypercoagulability and thrombosis. Lung and systemic inflammation resulting from…
The volume of industrial and domestic wastewater is increasing significantly year by year with the change in the lifestyle based on mass consumption and mass…
The chemical composition of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment is not uniform throughout the world, and these contaminants contain many structurally different lipophilic…
In this study, cadmium, lead, mercury and chromium concentrations in fish muscle tissue taken from various Sicilian areas were detected. Fish caught in Siracusa, nearby…
A process of biooxidation of industrial wastes originated from various areas consists of the following stages: transportation of the wastes to be processed to the…
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants with significant bioaccumulation in the global environment. Owing to their high toxicity and lipophilic property, PCBs are a…
With the aim of establishing exposure levels for hospital personnel preparing and administering cytostatic drugs (CDs), the authors present an innovative screening method based on…
The aim of this review is to give a general view on the current status of the role of aluminium in human health and disease.…
A new method has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of five hydroxylated polybrominated di-Ph ethers (HO-PBDEs) in human serum using ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray…
In this study, hair samples were incubated in 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution extracted with hexane/dichloromethane (4:1), purified by a multi-column and analysed for 32…
The so-called human xenosensors, constitutive androstane receptor (hCAR), pregnane X receptor (hPXR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (hAhR), participate in drug metabolism and transport as well…
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are globally pervasive contaminants that are considered to be endocrine disruptor chemicals and toxic environmental priority pollutants. In this paper, the interactions…
Over the past 30 years, the field of thermal analysis of organic peroxides has become an important issue in Chemical engineering departments, safety departments, and…
The ecodesign of a product implies that different potential environmental impacts of diverse nature must be taken into account considering its whole life cycle, apart…
