Respiratory Exposure of Animals to Microorganisms with the Henderson Apparatus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Henderson Apparatus has been in use for many years for the study of infectious disease transmission by the respiratory route. It is a simple, inexpensive apparatus for exposure of small animals to dynamic aerosols. This report presents detailed information concerning necessary equipment and techniques for conducting this type of experiment in a safe manner. References are made to commercial sources of equipment where these are pertinent.

Exposure chamber for 66 mice suitable for use with the henderson aerosol apparatus.
The Henderson apparatus (D. W. Henderson, J. Hyg. 50:53, 1952; 0. T. Miller and G. G. Gremillion, In Technical Manuscript 39, U.S. Army Biological Laboratories, Fort Detrick, Md., 1963) has become standard equipment for exposing a variety of animals to microbiological aerosols. When small animals such as mice are used, it is advantageous to aerosolize many animals in a single study. The standar...
متن کاملDesign of an Inhalation Chamber to Expose Laboratory Animals with Suspended Particulate Matter by Numerical Simulation Method
Introduction: Usually, in the toxicological studies of airborne particulate pollutants, inhalation exposure chambers are used for providing and distributing the test atmosphere uniformly and stability in the respiratory zone of laboratory animals. The purpose of this study was to design, evaluate and optimize a whole-body exposure chamber, specifically for small laboratory animals exposed to pa...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes attributed to PM10 in Kermanshah, Iran. In order to gather data, an Environmental Dust Monitor instrument was used at 3 stations throughout the city at a height of at least 3 m above the ground. We obtained an input file for the model from crude data and quantified PM10 using the AirQ model. Our estimation showed...
متن کاملLate-onset Radiologic Findings of Respiratory System Following Sulfur Mustard Exposure
Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) as a chemical warfare agent, increases permeability of bronchial vessels and damages airway epithelium. SM exposure causes debilitating respiratory complications. This study was designed to evaluate clinical respiratory manifestations, and to compare chest X ray (CXR) and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan of chest in SM exposed patients with respira...
متن کاملThe effect of respiratory exposure to benzene, toluene, xylene and ethyl benzene on the spirometric indices among the petroleum products loading workers
Abstract Background and Aim: Benzene, toluene, xylene and ethyl benzene (BTEX) are the most important aromatic compounds in petroleum products. BTEX compounds due to their high vapor pressure, easily change to gas form and mixed with ambient air. Petroleum products loading workers are exposed to these compounds by the inhalation of BTEX compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ef...
