BACKGROUND A growing number of studies have identified cleaners as a group at risk for adverse health effects of the skin and the respiratory tract. Chemical substances present in cleaning products could be responsible for these effects. Currently, only limited information is available about irritant and health hazardous chemical substances found in cleaning products. We hypothesized that chemi...

Remanufacturing has become a superior option for product recovery management system. It mainly consists of three stages: retrieval, reproduction, and redistribution. So far, many different approaches have been followed in order to improve the efficiency of a remanufacturing process. However, as the complexity increases, the use of computational intelligence (CI) in those problems is becoming a ...

The cytotoxicities of chemicals used in household products were evaluated using a neutral red (NR) uptake assay. The chemicals tested during 1997-2004 were rubber additives (accelerators, antioxidants and retarders), solvents, plasticizers and biocides, such as antimicrobials, fungicides, preservatives used in paints, paper, wood and plastic products. The cytotoxicity potential of each chemical...
