Human exposure to soil contaminants in subarctic Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND Chemical contaminants in the Canadian subarctic present a health risk with exposures primarily occurring via the food consumption. OBJECTIVE Characterization of soil contaminants is needed in northern Canada due to increased gardening and agricultural food security initiatives and the presence of known point sources of pollution. DESIGN A field study was conducted in the western ...
متن کاملIndoor exposure to mould allergens.
Humid indoor environments may be colonised by allergenic filamentous microfungi (moulds), Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., Cladosporium spp., and Alternaria spp. in particular. Mould-induced respiratory diseases are a worldwide problem. In the last two decades, mould allergens and glucans have been used as markers of indoor exposure to moulds. Recently, mould allergens Alt a 1 (Alternaria al...
متن کاملExploring Biodynamic Response (Apparent Masses) of a Seated Human Body Exposed To External Excitation in Vertical Direction
In the present work, the biodynamic response behavior of seated human body subject to vibration in vertical direction have been extensively examined. The biodynamic response parameter of seated human body have been analyzed in terms of apparent masss (AM).The AM describe “to –the -body”force motion relationship at the interface of huma and seat. The present work proposed the six degrees of free...
متن کاملOrganochlorine contaminants in human adipose tissues from China: mass balance approach for estimating historical Chinese exposure to DDTs.
Concentrations of persistent organochlorines (OCs), such as DDTs, hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and chlordane compounds (CHLs) were determined in 34 human adipose tissues collected from Guizhou Province, southern China, during 2002. DDT was the predominant contaminant among OCs analyzed; concentrations ranged from 420 to 20 000 ng/g on...
متن کاملModeling Human-body Soft Tissues for Surgical Applications
1 Project Summary The goal of this research is to develop a general-purpose computational scheme for representing the geometry and physics of human-body soft-tissue structures and simulating their displacements and deformations in real-time when external forces are applied by surgical instruments. The ability to realistically model soft tissues on a computer has the potential to radically chang...
