Petroleum products are used for various reasons by human beings at homes, in manufacturing and petrochemical industries. The individuals most frequently exposed are those working in enterprises concerned with petrol and diesel, like petrol pumps. Chronic exposure to these compounds causes CNS depression and affects the kidney, liver, blood and systems. Hence, the present study was undertaken to...

in this research the degree to which search abilities have been inserted into the search engines of persian and non-persian e-journals has been investigated. 97 persian e-journals (pej) and 30 non-persian, in this case english, e-journals (eej) represent the research population. the required data were gathered through designing a checklist, which was filled out for each pej and eej. the results...

OBJECTIVE Although petroleum products are useful chemical compounds which form an integral part of our modern technology, they have been reported to cause deleterious effect on health following their inhalation. Petroleum hydrocarbons-dependent health hazards and their mechanisms have been associated with the routes of administration. This study, therefore, aimed at the isolation and chemical c...

This paper focuses on the application of solar energy along with microcontrollers to design and run a motor pump water from various sources. The is one applications or appliance that perform task use radiation. consists PV array, pump, inverter, AC pumping device etc. Solar radiation converted in electrical current power source which then used draw directly ground, wells, rivers, lakes In this ...

The use of battery tools is very common in many fields work. In fact, the electric engine and batteries have several advantages over traditional endothermic engines, including low emissions, terms pollutants, vibration noise. this context, chainsaw market started producing models powered by batteries. These machines can be useful forestry, but information on their performance scarce. aim work w...

Monitoring and analysis of high frequency acoustic emissions on marine diesel engines may indicate their condition with the aim to increase engine availability and reduce maintenance overheads for the Defence Force. An experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the application of acoustic emission (AE) sensing to the monitoring of both petrol and diesel internal combustion engine operating c...

Background: Petrol station attendants are a high risk group and are exposed to occupational hazards with no control over the length and frequency of safety regulation. The study aimed to assess the knowledge of petrol station attendants about the occupational hazards they are exposed to and the safety practices used to prevent them. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in Sokoto me...

Possible biochemical changes in hepatic and renal functions due to exposure of petrol vapour were assessed in twenty (20) petrol station attendants in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. A corresponding twenty healthy subjects who were not exposed to petrol or its vapour were used as controls. The results showed a significant increase in the (p<0.05) activities of alkaline phosphatase, alanine and aspa...
