a rapid method for estimating of noise exposure in work-places

A Rapid Method for Estimating of Noise Exposure in Work-places.

BACKGROUND Noise pollution is one of the important issues of pollutant in workplaces and is almost one of the harmful agents for workers. At present, instrumental based inspections for determining the index levels of noise in workshops is performed. This method is requiring a time consuming and ex-pensive in large scale inspection for workplaces. Classification of workplaces based on noise poll...

Exposure to benzene at different work places in Sweden.

is produced or handled has been investigated. The high benzene content (max 5 %, v/v) in Swedish petrol means that many workers are exposed to benzene vapours during their working day. The measurements showed that the exposure of most workers was below the Swedish occupational standard value (8 h TWA, 16 mg m). Short-time sampling showed the occurrence of exposures to high concentrations above ...

A REPORT OF RAPID AND EFFICIENT METHOD FOR MITOCHONDRIAL DNA

Based on the similarity of prokaryotic DNA to that of mitochondrial DNA, a rapid and efficient method for DNA purification from mitochondrial extracts obtained from different sources, was carried out based on the modification method described by Marmur (1983) which resulted in a high degree of purity (A260/A280=2). In addition we have applied the same technique for the first time to purify...

A rapid method for estimating mercury in undigested biological samples.

Magos, L., and Cernik, A. A. (1969). Brit. J. industr. Med., 26, 144-149. A rapid method for estimating mercury in undigested biological samples. A method has been developed for estimating mercury in biological samples using an ultraviolet mercury detector, after liberating the mercury from the urine and other biological samples by a simple chemical method. The overall time for one estimation i...
