Gas chromatographic estimation of iron in air-borne particulates.

Gas chromatographic determination of phosgene and dichloroacetylene in air.

Alveolar macrophage interaction with air pollution particulates.

We applied flow cytometric analysis to characterize the in vitro response of alveolar macrophages (AM) to air pollution particulates. Normal hamster AM were incubated with varying concentrations of residual oil fly ash (ROFA) or concentrated ambient air particulates (CAP). We found a dose-dependent increase in AM-associated right angle light scatter (RAS) after uptake of ROFA (e.g., mean channe...

Genotoxicity of Air Borne Particulates Assessed by Comet and the Salmonella Mutagenicity Test in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Fine airborne respirable particulates less than 10 micrometer (PM10) are considered one of the top environmental public health concerns, since they contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which are among the major carcinogenic compounds found in urban air. The objective of this study is to assess the genotoxicity of the ambient PM10 collected at 11 urban sites in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. T...

A Gas Chromatographic System for the Detection of Ethylene Gas Using Ambient Air as a Carrier Gas

Ethylene gas is a naturally occurring gas that has an influence on the shelf life of fruit during their transportation in cargo ships. An unintentional exposure of ethylene gas during transportation results in a loss of fruit. A gas chromatographic system is presented here for the detection of ethylene gas. The gas chromatographic system was assembled using a preconcentrator, a printed 3D print...

Gas-liquid chromatographic determination

A method for the determination of total bile acids in human feces that is suitable for routine application is described and discussed. Bile acids are extracted from freezedried feces with acetic acid and toluene, in the presence of the i?ternal standard 23-nordeoxycholic acid. After saponification of the extract, bile acids and the internal standard are methylated and converted by mild chromic ...
