Polyurethane foam (PUF) passive samplers for monitoring phenanthrene in stormwater.
Pollution from highway stormwater runoff has been an increasing area of concern. Many structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been implemented for stormwater treatment and management. One challenge for these BMPs is to sample stormwater and monitor BMP performance. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using polyurethane foam (PUF) passive samplers (PSs) f...
متن کاملOn the Use of Polyurethane Foam Paddings to Improve Passive Safety in Crashworthiness Applications
The use of cellular materials in general in the automotive industry, and polymeric foams in particular, has been increasing significantly for the last few decades. These materials are used within a particular vehicle for many different purposes, among which are, for example, sound and thermal insulation, vibration damping, fire protection and, of course, crashworthiness. Thus, crashworthiness, ...
متن کاملApplication of polyurethane foam as a sorbent for trace metal pre-concentration — A review
The first publication on the use of polyurethane foam (PUF) for sorption processes dates back to 1970, and soon after the material was applied for separation processes. The application of PUF as a sorbent for solid phase extraction of inorganic analytes for separation and pre-concentration purposes is reviewed. The physical and chemical characteristics of PUF (polyether and polyester type) are ...
متن کاملFoam sclerotherapy: investigating the need for sterile air.
BACKGROUND Sclerotherapy with foam is becoming increasingly popular for the treatment of varicose veins. There is no consensus on the necessity of sterile air or other gases to produce foam. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the potential risk of bacterial inoculation of polidocanol (POL) foam using room air and the antimicrobial properties of polidocanol. MATERIALS AND METHODS The amount of airborne ...
متن کاملAssessment of sorbent impregnated PUF disks (SIPs) for long-term sampling of legacy POPs.
Two field studies were conducted for one year using sorbent-impregnated polyurethane foam (SIP) disks for PCB and PBDE air sampling. SIP disks were introduced by Shoeib et al. (2008) as an alternative passive air sampling medium to the polyurethane foam (PUF) disk and have the advantage of a higher holding capacity for organic chemicals. The first study on SIP disks confirmed their application ...
