Benzene is widely distributed in the environment. The exposure scenario of most concern to the general public is low-level inhalation over long periods. This is because the general population is exposed to benzene mainly through inhalation of contaminated air, particularly in areas of heavy traffic and around gas stations, and through inhalation of tobacco smoke from both active and passive smo...

background and objectives: analytical methods for volatile organic compounds (vocs) in different samples need extraction of compounds, by applying hazardous solvents. solid phase micro-extraction (spme) is a solvent-free equilibrium extraction method, in which proper calibration can allow quantitative determinations of vocs at a very good sensitivity without the use of any organic solvent. vocs...

In industry, "benzene" is frequently employed as a basic or compound substance. Exposure to has hematotoxic effects on blood cell values, such pancytopenia. cases of cytopenia that cannot be explained, smear evaluation usually confirmation test and extra diagnostic help. The purpose this study was see how benzene inhalation affected examination in white male rats (Rattus novergicus) the Wistar ...

In the title compound, C16H8F6N2, the dihedral angle between the pyrazole and di-fluoro-benzene rings is 50.30 (13)°, while those between the pyrazole and fluoro-benzene rings and between the di-fluoro-benzene and fluoro-benzene rings are 38.56 (13) and 53.50 (11)°, respectively. Aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions between adjacent di-fluoro-benzene rings [centroid-centroid separation = 3.6082 ...

background: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex) are the most important toxic volatile compounds in the air and could be easily absorbed through the respiratory tract. in recent years, the risk of exposure to btex compounds, especially benzene as a carcinogen, has been considered in petroleum depot stations. objective: to assess the occupational exposure of petroleum depot workers i...

background: gasoline station workers are exposed to volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex). objectives: to determine the level of exposure to btex compounds among gasoline station workers and measure the roadside concentrations of these compounds in the inner and outer areas of bangkok, thailand. methods: 49 workers at 6 gasoline stations in the inne...

The interpretation of the ultrafast luminescence decay in [Re(Br(CO)3(N^N)] complexes as a new group of chromophoric imidazo[4,5-f]-1,10-phenanthroline ligands, including 1,2-dimethoxy benzene, tert-butyl benzene (L4) and 1,2,3-trimethoxy benzene, tert-butyl benzene (L6), was studied. Fac-[Re(Br(CO)3L4 and L6] with different aryl groups were calculated in singlet and triplet excited states. The...

In various industries benzene is used for cleaning, stain removal, and dilution and as an adhesive. The petrochemical industry uses benzene as a raw material for styrene, alkyl benzene, and caprolactam. Moreover, aromatic compounds are added to gasoline as a substitute for alkyl lead compounds. Although atmospheric lead pollution is reduced, the concentration of benzene released into the air is...

Twenty-two benzene-utilizing bacteria were isolated from soil samples. Among them, three isolates were highly tolerant to benzene. They grew on benzene when liquid benzene was added to the basal salt medium at 10--90% (v/v). Taxonomical analysis identified the benzene-tolerant isolates as Rhodococcus opacus. One of the benzene-tolerant isolates, designated B-4, could utilize many aromatic and a...
