Knowing the relationship between pollution sources and air concentrations is crucial. Mathematical modeling a suitable method for assessment of this relationship. The aim research was to compare results Analytical Dispersion Modelling Supercomputer System (ADMOSS), which used in large areas, with moss biomonitoring. For comparison purposes, mathematical collection samples biomonitoring Czech–Po...

introduction: toluene is an organic solvent that it is one of the byproducts in the coke industry. exposure to toluene causes central nervous system dysfunction and others disorders. many workers are exposed to toluene due to leakage from tracks. therefore the aim of this study was to determine the levels of exposure through environmental and biological monitoring of toluene methods: air toluen...

A major challenge in biomonitoring studies with members of the general public is ensuring their continued involvement throughout the necessary length of the research. The paper presents evidence on the use of community researchers, recruited from local study areas, as a mechanism for ensuring effective recruitment and retention of farmer and resident participants for a pesticides biomonitoring ...

background and objectives: primary amenorrhea is not a disease but a symptom that may result from several quite different causes[nn1] . common hormonal cause of primary amenorrhea includes constitutional delay, hypothalamic –pituitary dysfunction, chronic systemic disease and absent ovarian function. the aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of the chromosomal abnormality referred for...

BACKGROUND Population pharmacokinetic models combined with multiple sets of age-concentration biomonitoring data facilitate back-calculation of chemical uptake rates from biomonitoring data. OBJECTIVES We back-calculated uptake rates of PBDEs for the Australian population from multiple biomonitoring surveys (top-down) and compared them with uptake rates calculated from dietary intake estimate...

Background & Objective: Cytogenetic abnormalities in Multiple myeloma (MM) has emerged as the most important factor that determine the prognosis and survival. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can detect a greater number of cytogenetic abnormalities as compared to conventional karyotyping and hence has become the standard test in determining genetic abnormalities in MM....

Further to our recent publications on cancer morbidity of Methyl isocyanate (MIC) exposed long-term survivors and their offspring and carcinogenesis of MIC in this journal (Senthilkumar et al., 2011; 2012), my attention was drawn to express my views to Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for the need to validate MIC in cancer etiology, in particular, to cancer risk prediction in the prese...
