A Commentary on the Neurological Findings Associated with Overexposure to Liquefied Petroleum Gas
نویسنده
چکیده
With this has come the development of a cohort of patients, presenting with non-specific symptoms associated with overexposure to LPG. This is commonly referred to as ‘Gas Geyser Syndrome’, but this has also beenused to describe cases of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure [2]. What further confounds the diagnosis, is the fact that the spectrum of symptoms closely mimics that of the exposure to other gases. New literature now shows us that findings on neurological imaging, can better elucidate this diagnostic conundrum.

A consequence analysis was performed in one of the gas refineries in Iran to investigate the risks andpotential losses resulted from accidents. Specifically, the consequences of an explosion in LPGspherical tanks were modeled using PHAST and MATLAB software. In this paper, three methods ofcalculation of PHAST software TNT, multi-energy, and BST were used. The results showed th...
متن کاملFour Lump Kinetics Models to Describe the Aromatization Reactions of Liquefied Petroleum Gas
The aromatization reaction of liquefied petroleum gas has been studied by using three liquefied petroleum gases as raw material and LBO-A as catalyst, and four lump kinetics models networks have been put up on the basis of lump theory and the aromatization reaction mechanism. In the network the aromatization reaction species was firstly lumped into C 4 , propylene, low molecule hydrocarbon, liq...
متن کاملPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from gasoline-engine and liquefied petroleum gas engine exhausts.
Exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine, alternatively powered by gasoline or by liquefied petroleum gas, were analysed for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The engine operated a lift truck for the handling of warehouse goods. A combined condensation-filtration apparatus was constructed for sampling of the exhausts. The basic steps of the analytical procedure are summarized here. Sev...

متن کاملUrban leakage of liquefied petroleum gas and its impact on Mexico city air quality.
Alkane hydrocarbons (propane, isobutane, and n-butane) from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are present in major quantities throughout Mexico City air because of leakage of the unburned gas from numerous urban sources. These hydrocarbons, together with olefinic minor LPG components, furnish substantial amounts of hydroxyl radical reactivity, a major precursor to formation of the ozone component o...
