industrial development and extensive use of heavy metals have led to the problem of environmental pollution. nickel compounds are toxic to plants and have detrimental effects on their growth. valerian is a plant used in herbal medicine. considering the hazards of nickel, various methods have been developed to remove this contaminant from herbs irrigation wastewater, including the common chemica...

INTRODUCTION While epidemiological methods have grown in sophistication during the 20th century, their application in historical occupational (and environmental) health research has also led to a corresponding growth in uncertainty in the validity and reliability of the attribution of risk in the resulting studies, particularly where study periods extend back in time to the immediate postwar er...

While insoluble nickel subsulfide (Ni3 S2 ) was carcinogenic in the lung in a 2-year rat bioassay, soluble nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NiSO4* 6H2 O) was not. To investigate whether differences in the cellular responses to these two nickel compounds could underlie their differential activities, we conducted parallel studies to determine the gene expression changes in micro-dissected lung distal ...

Z. Naturforsch. 53 b, 1379-1385 (1998); received June 26, 1998 Mononuclear Complexes, Nickel, Amine-Thiolate Ligands, Solid-State Structures, SolutionState Structures The syntheses of N-alkylated derivatives of the arenethiol 4-terf-butyl-2,6-(diaminomethyl)thiophenol and their coordination properties are reported. Compounds 4-terf-butyl-2,6-di(/V-isopropyl-aminomethyl)thiophenol (3) and 4-terf...

one of the best and the most active ways for surveying thermal behaviour of materials is using differential scanning calorimetry. in this paper, the authors have studied thermal behaviour for schiff base ligand and their synthesized cobalt, nickel complexes. in this method, the sample is opposed to a controlled temperature change and its physical properties. here we studied melting point and tg...

Heteropoly acid promoted nanoparticle of nickel oxide samples were prepared by sol-gel method using heteropoly acids. Prepared composite was characterized by XRD, FT-IR and ICP technique. In this work, we have reported bromination of phenol, its derivatives and some aromatic compounds. The liquid phase bromination of phenol was Performed using heteropoly acids immobilized nanoparticle of nickel...

Dye photodegradation using ozone and Nickel ferrite nanoparticle (NFN) as a photocatalyst was studied. The catalyst was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XRD. Textile dyes including Remazol Red RB (RRRB) and Direct Green B (DGB) were degraded as model compounds. Dye degradation was investigated using UV–Vis and ion chromatography (IC) analyses. The effect of catalyst dosage, pH, s...

abstract: background: release of volatile organic compounds (vocs) in industrial and urban area have adverse effects on human health and  environment. the aim of this study was removal of gaseous toluene, as the most of pollutants among vocs, by using of tio 2 nanoparticles coated on nickel foam substrate. methods: tio 2 nanoparticles prepared by sol gel method and coated on nickel foam. morpho...

Nickel compounds are environmental and occupational hazards that pose serious health problems and are causative factors of acute lung injury. The c-jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are regulated through a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) 3 kinase-MAP2 kinase cascade and have been implicated in nickel toxicity. In this study, we used genetically modified cells and mice to investigate the involvement...

Screening of colorectal cancer is crucial for early stage diagnosis and treatment. Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the metabolome present in exhaled breath is a promising approach to screen colorectal cancer (CRC). Various forms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that show the definitive signature for the different diseases including cancers are present in exhale breathe. Am...
