DNA adducts derived from complex mixtures of polycyclic aromatic compounds emitted from tobacco smoke are compared to industrial pollution sources (e.g., coke ovens and aluminum smelters), smoky coal burning, and urban air pollution. Exposures to coke oven emissions and smoky coal, both potent rodent skin tumor initiators and lung carcinogens in humans, result in high levels of DNA adducts comp...

Background: Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a major carcinogenic compound that may be existed in milk and dairy products. This study was aimed to determine the presence of AFM1 in industrial and traditional yogurt samples produced in Iran. Methods: A total of 80 yogurt samples (40 industrial, 40 traditional) was collected from supermarkets in Yazd city, Iran. AFM1 content of the selected samples was de...

background & aims of the study: because of yoghurt is a particular flavor (caused by diacetyl) and appropriate essential oils (from atanal) as well as enjoy the soft tissue, it is considered as one of the most palatable dairy products. with regards to the yoghurt portion in supplement of protein food needs in our society, it is necessary to ensure its health. in this research the hygienic quali...

In China, the risk of getting lung cancer from inhaled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is higher in eastern portions of the country, and greater in major cities than in rural areas, researchers have found. Yanxu Zhang et al. modeled the amount of PAH emissions nationwide and characteristics of Chinese populations to determine their risk for lung cancer. Variation in genetic susceptibili...

Using wireless radio technologies in a demanding industrial or medical environment requires paying careful attention to the needs of the application. For instance, applications that are considered not mission critical include the use of Bluetooth for device configuration and maintenance. Applications that are considered more or less critical include the use of Bluetooth to transfer live process...
