Oxygen: Health Effects and Regulatory Limits Part I: Physiological and Toxicological Effects of Oxygen Deficiency and Enrichment
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction Probably the biggest source of confusion and controversy involving confined spaces is the acceptable limit for atmospheres deficient or enriched in oxygen. This confusion and controversy has arisen, in part, because oxygen is essential for life, and because people can adapt in both the short-term and the longterm to oxygen levels both greater than and less than they are at sea level. Sea level, of course, is merely a convenient altitude of reference. There is no particular significance to this altitude, as people live and work quite comfortably at attitudes far below and far above this height.

Comparison of the Effects of Hydrogen and Hydroxygen Additions and Oxygen Enrichment on the Emission Characteristics of EF7 Engine
In this study, the effects of hydrogen and hydroxygen additions and oxygen enrichment on the emission characteristics of a gasoline engine (EF7) were investigated and compared with each other. The simulation was launched by GT-Power at different engine speeds with 5 % to 15 % volume fractions for both of oxygen and hydrogen enrichment and 4.5 % to 9 % volume fractions of hydroxygen addition in ...

Antioxidant are the agents which dispose / scavenge the reactive oxygen species, minimize the oxidative stress / lipid peroxidation and ultimately improve the fertilizing potential of the spermatozoa. Currently, many antioxidants are under investigation and manganese is one of them in reducing the oxidative stress both in male and female. The antioxidative action of manganese (Mn2+) on various ...
متن کاملPhytotoxicological Effects of Bulk-NiO and NiO Nanoparticles on Lesser and Giant Duckweeds as Model Macrophytes: Changes in the Plants Physiological Responses
Background: Although the production and usage of nanoparticles and their entrance to the ecosystem have increased in last decades, information about their negative impacts on organisms is scarce. We concentrated on the comparison of the toxicological effects of different concentrations of bulk-nickel oxide and nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) on lesser (Lemna minor L.) and giant (Spirodela ...
متن کاملImpact of Reactive Oxygen Species on Spermatozoa: ABalancing Act between Beneficial and Detrimental Effects
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)plays an important role in sperm motility. The physiological generation at low concentration induces beneficial effects on sperm functions and plays a significant role in sperm metabolism. Meanwhile, the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species can overwhelm protective mechanism and triggers changes in lipid and protein layers of sperm plasma membrane, which ...
