Psychosocial impact of toxic chemical waste dumps.
On the basis of three years' intensive observation of the community and interactions at the Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY, the present study addresses the psychosocial problem of creating and maintaining trust between the residents of an area contaminated by toxic waste materials and the government-sponsored scientific researchers and other health professionals who worked and studied there (t...
متن کاملProblems and prospects in the utilization of cytogenetics to estimate exposure at toxic chemical waste dumps.
In mammalian cells, one of the most sensitive indicators of exposure to mutagenic carcinogens has been the induction of cytogenetic effects, chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). Some mutagens, such as ionizing radiations that induce double-strand breaks in DNA are very efficient at inducing chromosome aberrations and can induce them at all stages of the cell cycle. Some...
متن کاملchemical recycling of polycarbonate waste using conventional heating and microwave assisted method
پلی کربنات یکی از پلاستیکهای مهمی است که به صورت گسترده در تولید لوحهای فشرده، قطعات رایانه، مواد ساختمانی و غیره مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد. این پلیمر بصورت عمده از تراکم مونومر بیس فنولa (bpa) و کربنیل کلرید یا دی متیل کربنات ها بدست می آید. در سالهای اخیر بازیافت شیمیایی پلی کربنات بیشتر مورد توجه بوده است. بازیافت شیمیایی پلی کربنات برای بدست آوردن مواد اولیه آن با روشهای متفاوتی مانند تجزی...
Field epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to waste dumps.
Epidemiologic studies are required for assessing health risks related to toxic waste exposure. Since the settings in which such studies must be performed are extremely diverse, epidemiologic approaches must be versatile. For any particular study, three fundamental requirements are to assess what toxic materials are present, understand how human exposure may occur, and objectively measure possib...
متن کاملMetal extraction competence of plants on waste dumps of magnesite mine, Salem District, South India
An ex-situ experiment to assess the metal extractive potential of fourteen agriculture plants (Vigna unguiculata, Gossypium hirsutum, Jatropha curcas, etc.) was conducted on Magnesite mines which had above permissible levels of Cadmium and Lead. There was no much difference in the total chlorophyll a and b, carbohydrate and protein contents in the plants grown in the mining soil and adjacent co...
