Personnel internal radiation exposure to iodine-125 in a radioiodination laboratory: Exposure levels and trends

ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...

Evaluation of exposure of metro passengers to whole-body vibration and recurrent shocks according to ISO 2631- 1 standard

Nowadays, using rail vehicles like metro is necessary for transportation in megacities and metropolises. In this descriptive-analytical study, whole body vibration was evaluated by two methods including basic evaluation and the recommended dose of vibration proposed based on ISO 2631-1 standard. In the present study measurements were performed over 13000 seconds in usual daily working hours by ...

Solid Phase Extraction for 1-Hydroxypyrene as a Biomarker of Occupational Exposure to PAHs Prior to High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene is frequently used as a major metabolite and biological indicator of the overall exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this study, solid phase extraction was appropriately conditioned with regard to sample pH, sample concentration, loading flow rate, elution solvent, washing solvent, sample volume and sorbent mass. Octadecyl silica cartridge (C<su...

Application of internal standard method in recombinant luminescent bacteria test.

Mercury and its organic compounds have been of severe concern worldwide due to their damage to the ecosystem and human health. The development of effective and affordable technology to monitor and signal the presence of bioavailable mercury is an urgent need. The Mer gene is a mercury-responsive resistant gene, and a mercury-sensing recombinant luminescent bacterium using the Mer gene was const...
