Human health damage caused by toxic chemicals in indoor environments.

Aspergillus species in indoor environments and their possible occupational and public health hazards

Abstract The genus Aspergillus, which consists of a few hundred opportunistic mold species found in various climatic conditions, causes diseases including localized infections, fatal diseases, allergic responses, and inhaled conidia in humans. Herein, we present an overview of the most common diseases and allergic infections caused by Aspergillus species and their associated health hazards ...

Quantification of Toxic Chemicals in Selected Human Populations

the pg/mL range with in-line preconcentration [5]. During the development of this method at NBS, the factors investigated included: composition of the eluents, interference due to impurities in the delivery liquid and the possible means of eliminating them with a laboratory-packed trap column, and a comparison of suppression efficiencies between two types of suppressors. This method was used fo...

Pesticides and toxic chemicals

‘Contamination’ is a comparative term. In Britain at least, contaminants are trace substances; in the context of food they are distinguished from additives by whether or not there is an intention that the substances should be present when the food is consumed or prepared for consumption. Contaminants may be of natural or of technological origin: and technological contaminants may be direct or i...
