A sensitive technique for measuring hydroxyl radicals, atmospheric cleansing molecules.
For the last 20 years the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) has been used as the principal source of follow-up for mortality, and often for cancer incidence, in many cohort and clinical follow-up studies in England and Wales. Completeness of notification of childhood cancer registrations and deaths from the NHSCR was investigated by comparison between cancers and deaths notified ...

متن کاملHistamine as a marker for hydroxyl radicals
During inflammation an influx of neutrophils and release of mediators from mast cells (such as histamine) take place. The stimulated neutrophils can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). One of these ROS is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical (OH(.)). It would be interesting to be able to quantify the extent of ROS formation. We investigated if histamine which is present at the inflammation s...
متن کاملOn the role of hydroxyl radicals in the self-cleansing capacity of the troposphere
Thousands of megatons natural and anthropogenic gases are released and subsequently removed from the troposphere each year. Photochemical reactions, initiated by hydroxyl (OH) radicals, oxidise most gases to products which are more easily removed by precipitation and dry deposition at the earth’s surface. Since human-induced pollution emissions strongly affect OH formation and loss, large globa...
متن کاملNote: A balloon-borne accelerometer technique for measuring atmospheric turbulence.
A weather balloon and its suspended instrument package behave like a pendulum with a moving pivot. This dynamical system is exploited here for the detection of atmospheric turbulence. By adding an accelerometer to the instrument package, the size of the swings induced by atmospheric turbulence can be measured. In test flights, strong turbulence has induced accelerations greater than 5g, where g...
