A polarographic catalytic hydrogen wave of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at about –1.80 V (vs. SCE) in NH4Cl-NH3 H2O buffer is further catalyzed by such oxidants as iodate, persulfate and hydrogen peroxide, producing a kinetic wave. Studies show that the kinetic wave is a parallel catalytic wave of hydrogen, which resulted from that hydrogen ion is electrochemically reduced and chemically regenera...

The presence oí aggregates oí humic substances (HS) with inorganic adsorbates in a lagaon located in Huelva (south Spain) ia reported. The chemical nature oftbe fulvic acid (FA) fraction, extracted froro the natura] aggregate by treatment with chelating resins, has been investigated by physical and chemical methods. Tbe results suggest that these FA are similar f.o FA from other aquatic environ...

Occupational allergic contact eczema and asthma caused by bleaching agents is seen in hairdressers. Bleaching agents contain persulfate salts, which are known to induce immediate reactions such as rhinitis, asthma, contact urticaria, and anaphylaxis. The immunologic mechanism is not, however, fully understood. The specific inhalation challenge test is considered to be the gold standard for diag...
