Airborne emissions at skin surfaces: a potential biological exposure index.
Dermal exposures of methanol were administered in a clinical study designed to compare several biological indicators. Four subjects were exposed in five exposure sessions of varying length. In each session, a sequence of measurements of methanol concentrations in blood, breath, and headspace samples of air at exposed and unexposed skin were collected before and after dermal exposures. Skin head...
متن کاملTrichloroethylene in urine as biological exposure index.
Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TRI) was studied by analysis of environmental air and urine from 49 workers operating in a special printing house on glass. For the measurement of environmental concentration of TRI (Cenv), the ambient air was sampled using personal passive dosimeters. The activated charcoal was desorbed with carbon disulfide and injected into a gas-cromatograph - mas...
متن کاملAirborne emissions of mercury from municipal solid waste. II: potential losses of airborne mercury before landfill.
Waste distribution and compaction at the working face of municipal waste landfills releases mercury vapor (Hg(o)) to the atmosphere, as does the flaring of landfill gas. Waste storage and processing before its addition to the landfill also has the potential to release Hg(o) to the air if it is initially present or formed by chemical reduction of Hg(II) to Hg(o) within collected waste. We measur...
متن کاملSkin Damage Mechanisms Related to Airborne Particulate Matter Exposure.
Epidemiological studies suggest a correlation between increased airborne particulate matter (PM) and adverse health effects. The mechanisms of PM-health effects are believed to involve oxidative stress and inflammation. To evaluate the ability of PM promoting skin tissue damage, one of the main organs exposed to outdoor pollutants, we analyzed the effect of concentrated ambient particles (CAPs)...
