Predicting Residential Exposure to Phthalate Plasticizer Emitted from Vinyl Flooring: Sensitivity, Uncertainty, and Implications for Biomonitoring

BACKGROUND Because of the ubiquitous nature of phthalates in the environment and the potential for adverse human health effects, an urgent need exists to identify the most important sources and pathways of exposure. OBJECTIVES Using emissions of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) from vinyl flooring (VF) as an illustrative example, we describe a fundamental approach that can be used to identif...

Effect of Flooring and/or Flooring Surfaces

A study published in 1996 by the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) indicated that 15% of cows culled from dairy herds in the United States were culled as a “direct effect” of lameness. This sounds reasonable until one considers that the “indirect effects” of lameness on production and reproduction are estimated to account for an additional 49.1% of culling in US herds. Although t...

MEASUREMENT OF D2O IN WATER USING 2H(?,n)1H REACTION

Utilization of Photodisintegration reaction of Deuterium, 2H(?,n)1H, is a precise technique for determining the percentage of 2H in tritiated and natural water. The 23Na(n,?)24Na reaction is a suitable ?-source for producing the 2H(?,n)1H reaction. Tehran Research Reactor was used as a neutron source for producing 24Na isotopes. The BF3 detectors were used to detect the neutron emission of H2 c...
