Ozone. Its Physiological Effects and Analytical Determination in Laboratory Air.

The Development and Validation of an Analytical Method for Simultaneous Determination of Amitraz and Its Metabolite in Air Samples

Background: To determine the atmospheric contamination by pesticides, conducting laboratory studies is necessary before operating field studies. The aim of this research study was to develop an analytical method to sample and simultaneously determine airborne amitraz and its metabolite. Methods: A modified fritted impinger with acetonitrile as the liquid sorbent was used in order to study the...

Pulmonary Effects of Ozone -generating Air Purifiers

Air purifiers are marketed to asthmatics and others to improve breathing. However, some air purifiers emit harmful ozone—a key component of smog. This study examines the hypothesis that ozone-generating air purifiers and other household devices that generate ozone may have a negative effect on pulmonary function. According to a recent study by the California Air Resources Board, 10% of Californ...

Analytical approaches for arsenic determination in air: A critical review.

This review describes the different steps involved in the determination of arsenic in air, considering the particulate matter (PM) and the gaseous phase. The review focuses on sampling, sample preparation and instrumental analytical techniques for both total arsenic determination and speciation analysis. The origin, concentration and legislation concerning arsenic in ambient air are also consid...
