Toxic risks from inhalation of bacterial endotoxin.
A potential risk for workers exposed to inhalation of endotoxin, as well as the primary tissue changes, is the possibility of subsequent development of adult respiratory distress syndrome. Accordingly, hamsters were administered one hour aerosols of Enterobacter agglomerans and allowed to rest for six hours to produce maximum microlesions in the lung. One hour before this peak, the animals were...
متن کاملHealth risks by bromomethane and other toxic gases in import cargo ship containers.
Containers are increasingly used for the worldwide transport of all kinds of goods. Consistent with national and international regulations on pest controls, a growing proportion of these containers undergoes fumigation. Frequently, the prescribed labelling is missing. According to literature, this situation may lead to accidents and represents a significant health risk to dock workers, inspecto...
متن کاملThree toxic gases meet in the mitochondria
The rationale of the study was two-fold: (i) develop a functional synthetic model of the Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) active site, (ii) use it as a convenient tool to understand or predict the outcome of the reaction of CcO with ligands (physiologically relevant gases and other ligands). At physiological pH and potential, the model catalyzes the 4-electron reduction of oxygen. This model was immo...
متن کاملUV spectrophotometry for monitoring toxic gases
The need for gas compound measurement concerns overall three domains: environmental monitoring, emission measurement and risk assessment. These fields are different because of concentration range (from 10–3 to thousands mg.m–3). A fast technique has been developed based on UV spectrophotometry. Simple robust optics and absence of interference from water vapour and carbon dioxide are two of the ...
متن کاملRisks of toxic ash from artisanal mining of discarded cellphones.
The potential environmental and human health impacts of artisanal mining of electronic waste through open incineration were investigated. A market-representative set of cellphones was dismantled into four component categories-batteries, circuit boards, plastics and screens. The components were shredded, sieved and incinerated at 743-818 °C. The concentrations of 17 metals were determined using ...
