National and international regulations require that chemicals must be properly classified, labeled, packaged, and transported based on their ability to damage or destroy tissue, e.g., skin. Traditionally, skin corrosion assessments were based on tests involving topical application of test substances to the skin of rabbits. In the present work, an in vitro skin corrosion test based on the use of...

Potential health effects of drinking water quality changes caused by acid precipitation are presented. Several different types of water supply are discussed and their roles in modifying acid rain impacts on drinking water are explained. Sources of metals contamination in surface water supplies are enumerated. The authors present some results from their research into acid rain impacts on roof-ca...

The control of air quality in museums or storages is fundamental interest for the conservation historic artifacts. present work reports an example application RFID sensors developed European project SensMat and dedicated to this issue. are based on variation property tag coupled with a sensitive silver thin film exposed environment. As it will be described paper, such low-cost interrogated by c...

Introduction: Water quality is essential for industries because they play an important role in countries’ economic development. Groundwater is one of the most widely used resources, and when the ionic constituents were increasing higher than the allowable limit, it increases the cost of maintenance and production in the industries. Materials and Methods: In order to evaluate groundwater corros...

A novel method to classify the aggressiveness of soil considering its physicochemical content and development new synthetic solutions for lab uses is proposed. The results showed that main criteria existing in literature corrosivity classification might cause misunderstandings about real aggressiveness. proposed aim cover a wide range found worldwide order refine assessment their characteristic...

1. Skin corrosion refers to the production of irreversible damage to the skin, manifested as visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis, following the application of a test material [as defined by the United Nations (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)] (1). This Test Guideline provides an in vitro procedure by which the assessment o...

In this work, the effects of loading condition and corrosion solution on the corrosion fatigue behavior of smooth steel wire were discussed. The results of polarization curves and weight loss curves showed that the corrosion of steel wire in acid solution was more severe than that in neutral and alkaline solutions. With the extension of immersion time in acid solution, the cathodic reaction of ...
