Occupational health aspects of the arsenic extractive industry in Britain (1868-1925).

On-line Pre-Concentration and Separation of Inorganic Arsenic Based on Nano Platinum-Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes

On-line solid phase extraction (SPE) based on  nano adsorbent for pre-concentration of inorganic arsenic in water and waste water samples was developed prior to determine by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). By hydride generation simulation system (HGSS), the  inorganic arsenic in liquid samples changed to hydride form and pass through nano platinum multi wall carbon n...

The Chronicle of Arsenic Poisoning in the 19th Century

Assessment of the Risk of Individual and Occupational Factors Affecting the Causes of Occupational Accidents in the Construction Industry Using the Fuzzy Hierarchical Analysis Approach: A Case Study in Kurdistan Province, Iran

Background and Aim: Based on the Iranian Social Security Organization statistics, in 2012 the accidents occurring in the construction industry accounted for 26% of all the occupational accidents in the country. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the individual and occupational risk factors affecting the causes of occupational accidents in this industry using the fuzzy hierarchical ...

Hazardous effects of arsine: a short review.

This review details the known health effects of arsine as well as the existing theories on the mechanism by which arsine exerts its toxic effect and conditions of occupational exposure to this gas. Exposure to arsine in occupational settings occurs mostly in the chemical and metallurgical industries when nascent hydrogen reacts with metallic arsenic or arsenic compounds. The available data indi...

Some aspects of arsenic toxicity and carcinogenicity in living organism with special regard to its influence on cardiovascular system, blood and bone marrow.

This paper gathers data on the most current aspects of arsenic action, especially its influence on the cardiovascular system, blood and bone marrow. A potential carcinogenic mechanism of arsenic is also discussed. Arsenic is a potent toxicant that may exist in several valencies and in a number of inorganic and organic forms. Most cases of arsenic-induced toxicity in humans are due to exposure t...
