چکیده
Benzene is an environmental pollutant which consumers mainly ingest via respiratory air. It can also occur as contamination in drinking water and foods. Benzene is principally emitted from petrol through exhaust gases. The substance is carcinogenic and damages germ cells. The available data do not allow the establishment of a safe level of exposure. Like all carcinogenic substances for which no toxicological threshold value can be indicated, benzene intake should be minimised and/or avoided as far as possible in line with preventive consumer protection.

An increasingly popular method for post-operative rehabilitation of an ACL reconstruction, as a substitute for traditionaltherapy, is blood flow restriction therapy (BFR). BFR therapy utilizes a pneumatic cuff to simulate strenuous exercisein an effort to stimulate muscle recruitment, mitigate atrophy, and promote hypertrophy in patients with load-bearinglimitations. Because t...

متن کاملBenzene formation in electronic cigarettes
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The heating of the fluids used in electronic cigarettes ("e-cigarettes") used to create "vaping" aerosols is capable of causing a wide range of degradation reaction products. We investigated formation of benzene (an important human carcinogen) from e-cigarette fluids containing propylene glycol (PG), glycerol (GL), benzoic acid, the flavor chemical benzaldehyde, and nicotin...
متن کاملSynthesis and Structures of Three- and Hexa-armed Benzene Derivatives Featuring Lateral Benzoic Ester and Benzoic Acid Functions
The new 1,3,5-tri-substituted and hexa-substituted benzoic methyl esters 1, 3 and benzoic acids 2, 4 have been synthesized. Single-crystal structure determinations of 1 – 3 are reported, which show specific molecular conformations and packings in the crystal. In all structures, the conformation of the molecules deviates considerably from threefold and sixfold symmetry, respectively. Columnar pa...

The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) below assesses a study from the Netherlands which provides valuable information on the unwanted effects of plant sterols on human retinal microvessels. Retinal vessels analysis is increasingly used for early diagnosis of cardiovascular risks. The findings of the study indicate that intake of plant sterols may entail cardiovascular risks for health...
