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…
During this study, the authors assessed airborne lead levels in nine workshops, three each from battery, electronic repair, and welding sources within the Kumasi Metropolis…
Employees in strawberry greenhouses are highly exposed to several (potential) allergenic agents. However, no occupational allergy in this branch has been described before. During this…
Professional bus drivers are exposed to environments containing air pollution and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can induce cellular oxidative stress and DNA damage. This…
The activity concentrations of potassium, uranium and thorium in minerals and soil samples from a mining site in Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria were measured using gamma…
In the present study, chemical substance exposure data from the Washington State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) programme were reviewed to determine if inspections…
This study investigates non-occupational inhalation and ingestion exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in 8 non-smoking volunteers through personal air sampling and urinary biomonitoring. The…
As nanomaterials find increased application in common and industrial products and processes so too the potential for release of these novel materials into the environment…
In this study, the author presents the results of the integrated assessment of environmental and human health impacts of emissions released from different sectors in…
