Real-Time Analysis of Incinerator Emissions: The Missing Link
نویسنده
چکیده
-Experiments have been carried out to determine whether the growth delay induced in small EMT6 spheroids (-250 ,um in diameter) by a range of cytotoxic drugs can be increased by pre-incubation of the spheroids under hypoxic conditions with misonidazole (MISO). Hypoxic pre-incubation was for 3 or 5 h in the presence of 5 mm MISO, and caused a growth delay of about 1 day or 2 days respectively. Sensitization to nitrogen mustard (HN2), melphalan, chlorambucil, BCNU and CCNU was seen, but the shapes of the dose-response curves and the ratio of effects for 3 h and 5 h pretreatment varied between the drugs. In contrast to the other agents, hypoxic pre-incubation with MISO reduced the spheroid response to adriamycin.

Health risk assessment for planned waste incinerators: getting the right science and the science right.
Health risk assessment is widely advocated in the United Kingdom as the most comprehensive means of assessing the health risks posed by the emissions of a planned waste incinerator. Its main advantage over other methods of assessment, such as air quality impact assessment, is its ability to address explicitly the direct (inhalation) and indirect (ingestion and dermal contact) health risks posed...
متن کاملA Study on Applying Biomass Fraction for GHG Emission Estimation of Sewage Sludge Incinerator in Korea: A Case Study
According to the IPCC guidelines, CO2 emissions from biomass should be excluded from the entire amount of CO2 emissions when calculating CO2 emissions and should be separately reported due to the “carbon neutrality.” Sewage sludge is one of the representative biomass fuels. And it is mixed with fossil fuels in terms of greenhouse gas reduction or is used as fuel to replace fossil fuels by itsel...
متن کاملAir pollution from incinerators and reproductive outcomes: a multisite study.
BACKGROUND The few studies that have investigated the relationship between emissions from municipal solid-waste incinerators and adverse pregnancy outcomes have had conflicting results. We conducted a study to assess the effects of air emissions from the eight incinerators currently in operation in the Emilia-Romagna Region of Italy on reproductive outcomes (sex ratio, multiple births, preterm ...
متن کاملA new Bi-objective model for a Two-echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem for Perishable Products with the Environmental Factor
In multi-echelon distribution strategy freight is delivered to customers via intermediate depots. Rather than using direct shipments, this strategy is an increasingly popular one in urban logistics. This is primarily to alleviate the environmental (e.g., energy usage and congestion) and social (e.g., traffic-related air pollution, accidents and noise) consequences of logistics operations. This ...
