precise identification of the risks of power plants as a part of a comprehensive safety analysis is recommended by monitoring organizations. assessment and risk management techniques in industrial activities through the use of preventive approach to identify hazards , assess and control safety - health risks unit is studied. in this study, risks and effects of abadan gas power plant were studie...

Intake of lignans has been assessed in different study populations, but so far none of the studies has compared the daily intake of lignans and the urinary excretion of plant and enterolignans. We assessed the intake of lariciresinol, pinoresinol, secoisolariciresinol and matairesinol in 100 Finnish men consuming their habitual omnivorous diet, and measured the 24 h urinary excretion of plant a...

In April 1996 the French Ministry of Health decided to distribute stable iodine tablets to the population living in the vicinity of all nuclear power plants (NPP) in France. In case of a severe nuclear accident, the intake of stable iodine would prevent irradiation of the thyroid by the radioactive iodine released by the plant. This preventive distribution began in late 1996 around four pilot s...

It is well known from the experience after the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant that radiocesium tends to concentrate in wild mushrooms. In this study, we collected wild mushrooms from the Kawauchi Village of Fukushima Prefecture, located within 30 km of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and evaluated their radiocesium concentrations to estimate the risk of internal r...

A model experiment monitoring the fate of total residue oxidant (TRO) in water at a constant temperature and salinity indicated that it decayed exponentially with time, and with TRO decaying faster in seawater than in distilled water. The reduction of TRO by temperature ( degrees K) was found to fit a curvilinear relationship in distilled water (r(2) = 0.997) and a linear relationship in seawat...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate plant sterol intake estimated with the eighty-four-item Northern Sweden FFQ against repeated 24 h dietary recalls (24-HDR) as the reference method. DESIGN Randomly recruited participants from the Västerbotten Intervention Programme (VIP) responded to an FFQ (FFQ1). Over the subsequent 12 months, ten repeated 24-HDR were carried out. After this, a second FFQ (FFQ2) was co...

1. Introduction The Acoustic Scintillation Flow Meter (ASFM) measures flow velocity in directions perpendicular to pairs of parallel acoustic beams. In its simplest hydroelectric power plant applications, the ASFM's acoustic beams originate from horizontally-aligned pairs of adjacent transducers mounted on intake walls or on the vertical members of frames designed to fit into intake gate slots....

population growth, industrial pollution and high-energy consumption, cause the release of significant amounts of pollutants in the environment. power plants play an important role in the release of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide. if the necessary measures in the field of prevention and control do not be implemented, human health and other living creatures...

objectives: the antioxidant capacity impairs in kidney and urinary bladder of animals with stone disease. herbal medicine can improve the antioxidant condition of renal tissue. cynodon dactylon (c. dactylon) is a medicinal plant with antioxidative and diuretic properties and different preparations of this plant have shown promising effects in stone disease. assessment of the whole plant decocti...

BACKGROUND Plant sterols in vegetable foods might prevent colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVE The objective was to study plant sterol intakes in relation to colorectal cancer risk in an epidemiologic study. DESIGN The study was performed within the framework of the Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer in 120852 subjects who completed a baseline questionnaire in 1986. After 6.3 y of follow-u...
