Preliminary assessment of a model to predict mold contamination based on microbial volatile organic compound profiles.
Identification of mold growth based on microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) may be a viable alternative to current bioaerosol assessment methodologies. A feed-forward back propagation (FFBP) artificial neural network (ANN) was developed to correlate MVOCs with bioaerosol levels in built environments. A cross-validation MATLAB script was developed to train the ANN and produce model resul...
متن کاملDialysis water as a determinant of the adequacy of dialysis.
Hemodialysis patients are exposed to large volumes of water in the form of dialysate. Contaminants from the dialysate may cross the dialyzer membrane into the blood and have the potential to compromise the adequacy of dialysis. Several chemicals found commonly in drinking water have long been known to be toxic to hemodialysis patients. More recently, it has become apparent that even low levels ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Fungi in Drinking Water Resources as a Source of Contamination Tap Water in Sari, Iran
Background and purpose: One of the most prominent concerns for the water consumers is pathogenic microorganism contamination. Wells and underground water resources are the main resources of drinking water in Sari city, Iran. The main objectives of the research project were to explore the distribution and frequency of mycoflora in wells and underground water resources of the city and their conta...
متن کاملBreath measurements as volatile organic compound biomarkers.
A brief review of the uses of breath analysis in studies of environmental exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is provided. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's large-scale Total Exposure Assessment Methodology Studies have measured concentrations of 32 target VOCs in the exhaled breath of about 800 residents of various U.S. cities. Since the previous 12-hr integrated personal ai...
متن کاملBacteriophage as an Index of Water Contamination
Because of technical difficulties of isolating pathogenic bacteria from waters (even from waters known to be contaminated fairly recently), the presence or absence of Bacterium coli in water supplies and the relative numbers of this organism if present are recognized as indications of the presence and degree of faecal pollution. This is based on the assumption that the more bacteria of intestin...
