Effects of High-Humidity Aging on Platinum, Palladium, and Gold Loaded Tin Oxide—Volatile Organic Compound Sensors

This study is an investigation of high-humidity aging effects on the total volatile organic compound (T-VOC) gas-sensing properties of platinum, palladium, and gold-loaded tin oxide (Pt,Pd,Au/SnO(2)) thick films. The sensor responses of the high-humidity aged Pt,Pd,Au/SnO(2), a non-aged Pt,Pd,Au/SnO(2), and a high-humidity aged Pt/SnO(2) to T-VOC test gas have been measured. The high-humidity a...

Pharmacokinetic Studies on Oximes in Organophosphate Poisoning: A Mini Review

Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is one of the most common causes of poisoning in developing countries especially in Southeastern Asia. Poisoning with phosphorus-containing organic chemicals or OP compounds can be managed with antidotes like oximes which are potential reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The efficacy of oxime therapy in OP poisoned patients mainly depends upon various fac...

Six cases of poisoning after a parenteral organic mercurial compound (Merthiolate).

MERTHIOLATE (Thimerosal, Thiomersal) is an organomercurial compound widely used as an antiseptic agent. Its main application in medicine has been as a skin antiseptic, and it has also been incorporated as a preservative in attenuated polio and influenza virus preparations. Similarly, vials of antibiotic preparations may contain Merthiolate as a bactericidal agent to allow such vials to be used ...

A Critical Review on Studies of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Sorption by Building Materials (RP-1097)

The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the pros and cons of existing sorption models, as well as experimental methods. In addition, it summarizes existing sorption data in order to understand the phenomenon of VOC sorption on building materials better and to direct future research. We found that existing sorption models can be generally classified into either first order adsorption/deso...
