Background: Benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) are ubiquitous in the community environment. However, workers who handle them concerned about adverse effects such as neurotoxicity carcinogenicity. On other hand, recently, a general indoor environment, low-concentration BTX exposure due to release from house has attracted attention cause of sick building syndrome multiple chemical sensitivity. In...

Metal catalysts based on Ni, Co, and Pd supported SiO2 were evaluated in the catalytic pyrolysis of waste tires using experiments coupled to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS) thermogravimetric analysis with Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer (TGA–FTIR) techniques. The effect temperature nature metals product distribution reaction pathways was determined. Catalytic promoted ar...

Facial ageing is a gradual process which could be due to intrinsic and extrinsic causes, it ultimately results in the appearance of gravity-induced tissue ptosis, wrinkles, epidermal and dermal atrophy, dryness, senile lentigo, flushing, telangiectasia, and enlarged pores. Mesobotox treatment is a technique of microinjections of diluted Botulinum toxin type A (BTX) to preserve the facial mobili...

mfi zeolite membranes were prepared on porous α-alumina substrates, using secondary growth of nano-seeded layers. the resulting membranes were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffractometry (xrd), and pervaporation performance tests for separation of benzene, toluene and xylene (btx) mixture from contaminated water. the morphology, thickness, homogeneity, cry...

background: several effects of volatile organic compounds (vocs) have been recognized such as toxic and carcinogenic human health effects. to evaluate cancer risk of benzenes air samples were taken, at an automobile manufacturing painters in tehran following inhalation exposure. methods: to perform this study, cross-sectional was done in 2016. sampling was carried out by active pump sampler usi...

Ozone (O3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) volume fractions were calculated using the Master Mechanism (MM) model, author S. Madronich (NCAR, Boulder, CO, USA). MM is an atmospheric “box” model program for calculating the time evolution of atmospheric composition from initial amounts of atmospheric gases under chosen or varying conditions using reaction rate data and other physicochemical paramete...

BACKGROUND Zero valent iron and copper oxide nanoparticles (30-60 nm) were coated on a bed of natural zeolite (Clinoptilolite) with 1-2 mm grains and arranged as a dual filter in a stainless steel cylindrical reactor (I.D 4.5 cm and L = 30 cm) to investigating the coated bed removal efficiency for BTX. The experiments were conducted in three steps. First, with an air flow of 1.5 L/min and tempe...
