Cardiac arrhythmias during occupational exposure to fluorinated hydrocarbons.
The effects of occupational exposure to chlorodifluoromethane (FC 22) and dichlorodifluoromethane (FC 12) on cardiac rhythm were examined. The subjects were six men who repaired refrigerators (age 31-56, mean 46 years) and a control group of six plumbers (age 29-54, mean 45 years). Ambulatory electrocardiograms (ECG) were recorded for 24 hours on the day of exposure and on a control day. The EC...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during Diesel combustion.
Identification and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Diesel exhaust in the working environment and assessment of workers' occupational exposure to these suspected human carcinogens were the aim of this experimental investigation. The range of exposure factors calculated on the basis of 9 individual PAH concentrations determined in personal air samples shows that time-a...

متن کاملEstimation of Occupational Exposure during Ceramic Manufacturing
Introduction: The present study investigated the relatively high concentrations of natural radionuclides in raw material that used in ceramic manufacturing, and estimated the occupational exposure due to these activity concentrations. Material and Methods: A high-purity Germanium detector was used to determine naturally occurring radionuclide...
متن کاملCardiac Arrhythmias during Sleep
Humans spend approximately one third of their lives asleep. Although generally considered to be a peaceful, stable period for the body and mind to rest and heal, sleep in fact represents a complex, dynamic process involving dramatic changes in physiological state. Sleep-related cardiac arrhythmias are very common and often diagnosed incidentally on Holter monitor; the vast majority are benign b...
