Protecting children from toxic exposure: three strategies.
To a toxicologist, "poisonings" are cases in which the child has a defined pattern of symptoms, corresponding to toxic effects at a mid to high level of exposure. "Toxicity" refers to a broader spectrum of effects. At lower levels of toxicity a child may have no specific, individual symptoms but may be affected subclinically. There are three basic strategies to protect children: individual inte...
متن کاملUsability Evaluation with Children
Emerging technologies for children often require the involvement of children as test subjects in software development projects. Previous research studies have indicated that children behave differently than adults when involved in usability test sessions. Thus, children impose new opportunities and limitations in the evaluation and we still need to investigate proper and fruitful ways of involv...
متن کاملCommentary: flawed science delays smelter cleanup and worsens health.
For 6,000 years, humans have known about smelter hazards. Yet these metals threats continue. Why? This commentary provides one preliminary answer. It (1) summarizes the history of smelter pollution and (2) suggests that at least 3 problems-especially flawed smelter-polluter science-allow continuing health threats. It (3) illustrates this flawed science by using one of the most dangerous of U.S....
متن کاملHAZARDOUS WASTE: GAO Grades Hanford Cleanup
The melting of glacial ice that formed in the middle of the twentieth century may be a source of a cocktail of persistent, bio accumulative toxic substances that can threaten human health and the environment, according to a study by Christian Bogdal, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich, and colleagues in the 1 November 2009 issue of Environmental ...
متن کاملWaste tank cleanup manipulator modeling and control
Waste tank Cleanup is a current application area for robotics in the United States. As a result of tank access restrictions, (e.g., limited number and size of manholes), designs for several current waste Cleanup manipulator systems have long links with small cross-sections and variable lengths. In addition, as a result of anticipated payload capacity, these manipulator designs are hydraulically...
