Introduction: Phytoremediation is one of the available techniques for removing the volatile organic compound from the air. Benzene and toluene are volatile organic compounds that exist in many occupational environments. Plants are able to reduce benzene and toluene in the air and the use of plants is a simple and consistent solution for the nature to reduce these compositions in the air and imp...
Toluene-degrading bacteria were isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil by incubating liquid enrichment cultures and agar plate cultures in desiccators in which the vapor pressure of toluene was controlled by dilution with vacuum pump oil. Incubation in desiccators equilibrated with either 100, 10, or 1% (wt/wt) toluene in vacuum pump oil and testing for genomic cross-hybridization resulted...
abstract: background: release of volatile organic compounds (vocs) in industrial and urban area have adverse effects on human health and environment. the aim of this study was removal of gaseous toluene, as the most of pollutants among vocs, by using of tio 2 nanoparticles coated on nickel foam substrate. methods: tio 2 nanoparticles prepared by sol gel method and coated on nickel foam. morpho...
OBJECTIVES The ototoxicity of occupational exposure to toluene plus noise was investigated in a longitudinal study in rotogravure printing and existing findings in the literature were evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study comprised four repeated examinations during 5 years and started with 333 male workers. Lifetime weighted average exposures (LWAE) to toluene and noise were determined fr...
Investigations were conducted in a chamber to study the role of alfalfa plants in bioremediating toluene. Modeling and experimental results indicate that in situ bioremediation of toluene in the presence of plants is feasible and economical. This is primarily due to evapotranspiration which greatly enhances the vertical transport of dissolved contaminants from the saturated zone to the rhizosph...
Acute exposure to toluene was assessed in two experiments to determine the relationship between brain toluene concentration and changes in neurophysiological function. The concentration of toluene in brain tissue at the time of assessment was estimated using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model. Brain neurophysiological function was measured using pattern-elicited visual evoked potenti...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the individual characteristics, lifestyle habits, exposure levels, and genetic diversity of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes involved in toluene metabolism in Korean and foreign workers exposed to toluene at a manufacturing plant. This study was conducted to determine the effects of culture or ethnicity on toluene metabolism. The results showed th...
Pseudomonas mendocina KR1 grows on toluene as a sole carbon and energy source. A multicomponent oxygenase was partially purified from toluene-grown cells and separated into three protein components. The reconstituted enzyme system, in the presence of NADH and Fe2+, oxidized toluene to p-cresol as the first detectable product. Experiments with p-deutero-toluene led to the isolation of p-cresol w...
It has been clinically reported that toluene causes mental depression in humans. However, the detrimental effects of toluene exposure on brain function and the relation between features of mental depression and toluene exposure are poorly understood. This study evaluated depression-like behaviors in adult C57BL/6 mice after administration of toluene, and elucidated the effects of classical anti...
Acute exposure to toluene and other volatile organic solvents results in neurotoxicity characterized by nervous system depression, cognitive and motor impairment, and alterations in visual function. In vitro, toluene disrupts the function of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-glutamate receptors, indicating that effects on NMDA receptor function may contribute to toluene neurotoxicity. NMDA-glutamate ...
