In this study, Fe(II) complexes of phenyldithiocarbamate, dimethyldithiocarbamate and imidazolyldithiocarbamate were used as single-source precursors to prepare iron sulphide nanoparticles by thermolysis in oleic acid/octadecylamine (ODA) at 180 °C. The nanoparticles were dispersed into hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) to prepare iron sulphide/HEC nanocomposites. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis), Photo...

A NTP Carcinogenesis bioassay of ziram (89% pure, with 6.5% thiram), a fungicide and a rubber vulcanization accelerator, was conducted in F344/N rats and in B6C3F1 mice. Groups of 50 rats of each sex received diets containing 300 or 600 ppm of commercial grade ziram for 103 weeks; groups of 49 or 50 mice of each sex received diets containing 600 or 1,200 ppm ziram; and groups of 50 rats and 50 ...

Microorganisms are highly proficient at inhabiting and decaying cultural heritage objects architectures. Unfortunately, only a limited range of physical chemical methods available for preventing or removing microbiological damage to items where, all too often, the frequently inadequate clean effectively prevent recolonization. Our shared is an invaluable social environmental resource as well ke...
