Suspended particulate matter and health: new light on an old problem.
Forty years ago the Clean Air Act 1956 paved the way for the elimination of the main component of suspended particulate matter (SPM), the coal smoke that had plagued urban areas of the United Kingdom for centuries.' The process was to be a gradual one, particularly in relation to domestic sources, and it was anticipated that it might take more than 20 years to clear the air in all the areas tha...
متن کاملAnticipation in myotonic dystrophy: new light on an old problem.
The concept of anticipation, the occurrence of a genetic disorder at progressively earlier ages in successive generations, has been debated from the early years of this century, with myotonic dystrophy as the most striking example. Throughout most of this period there has been controversy as to whether the phenomenon resulted from observational and ascertainment biases or reflected a more funda...
متن کاملExposure to Particulate Matter and its Health Impacts (an AirQ Approach)
Background & Aims of the Study: Recent studies indicated that particulate matter can have the lung irritation, chronic lung diseases, lung tissue, etc. The aim objective of this study was to assess the mortality associated with exposure to PM10 concentrations in Ilam, Iran, during 2013. Materials & Methods: PM10 data were taken from Ilam's ...
متن کاملEffect of copper binding by suspended particulate matter on toxicity.
The kinetics of Cu(II) interactions with Susquehanna River (mid-Atlantic, USA) particle suspensions using the copper ion selective electrode (Cu-ISE) method indicated that the concentration of Cu2+ in both the suspension and filtrate was kinetically controlled; the reaction of Cu(II) in the suspension was faster than that in the filtrate. Bioassay tests were performed in continuous flow-through...
متن کاملNuclear Physics on the Light Front–a new old way to do an old new problem
A brief introduction to light front techniques is presented. This is followed by a review of recent attempts to perform realistic, relativistic nuclear physics with those techniques.
