In this study, the authors undertook an analysis of the concentration of toxicant chemical elements in fire-fighters in Saint-Petersburg. Ninety men working at the State…
stress in occupationally exposed workers in plastic factory. Styrene is a volatile organic compound used in factories for synthesis of plastic products. The pneumotoxicity of…
Tobacco smoke exposure stimulates the expression of genes that are likely to be involved in the metabolism of its combustion products such as polycyclic aromatic…
Mangiferin (MGN), a C-glucosylxanthone was investigated for its ability to protect against methylmercury (MeHg) induced neurotoxicity by employing IMR-32 (human neuroblastoma) cell line. MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium…
This study investigated pollutant transport in a highway building environment by combining field measurement and numerical simulations. The Comprehensive Turbulent Aerosol Dynamics and Gas Chemistry…
This study investigated the characteristics of mass size distributions and metallic elements in the airborne particulate matter from an urban, residential area in Ulsan, Korea.…
Silicon dioxide nano-particles (n-SiO2) have recently encountered a wide variety of applications in medicine or engineering but their toxicology effects are poorly understood. In this…
The effect of 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) protein expression, cytotoxicity, and DNA damage in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells was studied to provide evidence…
Halogenated contaminants, particularly brominated flame retardants, disrupt circulating levels of thyroid hormones (THs) and potentially affecting growth and development. Disruption may be mediated by impacts…
Incomplete combustion produces a pollutant mixture that includes polycyclic aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Previous work by the Columbia centre for Children’s Environmental Health (CCCEH) and others…
Health risk (defined as possible or probable human health damage, illness, or death due to exposure to environmental risk factors) was derived for a geological…
The UK government has published plans to reduce the countrys agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of global food security…
Preliminary results of inventories of exposure scenarios for nano-materials have indicated possible dermal exposure. Within the NANOSH project focused on occupational safety and health aspects…
