Dyes are threat to aquatic as well as human life. These are often introduced in the water bodies from textile or paper industries with improper treatment. Chemical treatments for dye decolorization are quite costly; another disadvantage is decolorization of these dyes is not complete. The bacterial flora in the effluent of textile industries is continuously exposed to dyes. Few of this might be...

Hair dyes have been evaluated as possibly being mutagenic and carcinogenic in animals. Studies of the association between human cancer risk and use of hair dyes have yielded inconsistent results. The authors evaluated the risk of lymphoid malignancies associated with personal use of hair dyes. The analysis included 2,302 incident cases of lymphoid neoplasms and 2,417 hospital- or population-bas...

PURPOSE Near-IR fluorescence imaging has great potential for noninvasive in vivo imaging of tumors. In this study, we show the preferential uptake and retention of two hepatamethine cyanine dyes, IR-783 and MHI-148, in tumor cells and tissues. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN IR-783 and MHI-148 were investigated for their ability to accumulate in human cancer cells, tumor xenografts, and spontaneous mouse...

BACKGROUND One of the greatest challenges in occupational dermatology is the identification of chemical substances used by patients in their work in order to determine their allergenic potential. Numerous techniques have been described for the identification of allergenic compounds. These tests must be sensitive, specific, and safe. We describe a study to detect the presence of paraphenylenedia...

this study examined the adsorption behavior of two cationic dyes used in textile industries (cibasic red 46 and ci basic blue 3) on tunisian clay used in pottery. the ability of pottery clay to remove thebasic dyes from aqueous solution was compared to that of the commercial powdered activated carbon (pac)and raw clay. physicochemical characteristics of these adsorbents were performed by boehm ...

novel ceramic oxides have been increasingly focused in recent years because of their potentialapplications in environmental purification especially to treat organic contaminants present in water. in thisresearch work, a set of nio-co3o4 nano-ceramic composite materials were prepared by a simple refluxcondensation method using nickel acetate / cobalt acetate as precursor salts, sodium monododecy...

biosorption of acidic dyes using the live fern azolla filliculoides was studied in a discontinuous system. dye parameters, dye initial concentration and contact time were studied in temperature range of 25-30 ?c and ph=7. it was shown that increasing the 23initial concentration of dye and its contact time resulted in decreasing the dye taking quantity by the absorbent. also, type of dye has an ...

The use of anthocyanin dyes extracted from epidermal leaves of Tradescantia spathacea (Trant) and petals of Ixora coccinea (IX) was evaluated in the application of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Subsequently, cocktail anthocyanin dyes from these dyes were prepared and how they enhanced the cell's overall performance was assessed using five different volume-to-volume ratios. Cocktail dyes a...
