Historical cancer incidence and mortality assessment in an Illinois community proximal to a former manufactured gas plant
OBJECTIVES Concern has been raised that the occurrence of cancer may be increased in neighbourhoods around a former manufactured gas plant in Champaign, Illinois, USA. Thus, we compared historical rates of cancer in this area to comparison communities as well as with nationally standardised rates. DESIGN Retrospective population-based community cancer assessment during 1990-2010. SETTING Ch...
متن کاملToxicity of manufactured copper nanoparticles - A review
The health effects of nanoparticles (NPs) are raising considerable and growing concerns from the public and government around the world. Nano-metals are new forms of metal with special properties, but are characterized by having a particle size of less than 100 nm. Copper is an essential trace element and its deficiency leads to different diseases in humans. In gen...
متن کاملToxicity Assessment of Some Conventionally Manufactured Nanoparticles to Daphnia Magna
Background and purpose: Nanoparticles (NPs) are used in different industries, including electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, healthcare, and environmental processes. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate their toxicity in the aquatic environment. Materials and methods: The acute toxicity of six different kinds of nano-sized particulates (SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3, TiO2, ZnO, and MgO) to Daphnia ...
متن کاملLeaching Assessment Methods for Evaluating the Effectiveness of In Situ Stabilization of Soil Material at Manufactured Gas Plant Sites
In situ stabilization and solidification (ISS) is a remediation technique used at former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites to reduce the rate and extent of contaminant release to groundwater. Assessment of the effectiveness of this treatment method with regard to containment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) poses significant challenges due to the characteristics of the contaminants a...
متن کاملLong-Term Release of Iron-Cyanide Complexes from the Soils of a Manufactured Gas Plant Site
Iron-cyanide (Fe-CN) complexes have been detected at Manufactured Gas Plant sites (MGP) worldwide. The risk of groundwater contamination depends mainly on the dissolution of ferric ferrocyanide. In order to design effective remediation strategies, it is relevant to understand the contaminant’s fate and transport in soil, and to quantify and mathematically model a release rate. The release of ir...
