متن کاملSuppression of dioxin emission in co-incineration of poly(vinyl chloride) with TiO2-encapsulating polystyrene.
This paper presents an approach to the suppression of the emission of dioxin and its precursors as a result of the co-incineration of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) with TiO2-encapsulating polystyrene (TEPS), in which TiO2 nanoparticles with the capacity to adsorb dioxin and its precursors are encapsulated without significant agglomeration. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and ...
متن کاملAsian Implications of Aflatoxin and Dioxin Foodborne Chemical Exposures Based on World Health Organization Estimates
All people need food. Unsafe foods; however, may cause diseases ranging from diarrhea to cancer. Chemicals in food are a worldwide health concern. In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) organized a consultation on the global burden of foodborne diseases. Work to estimate this burden began in 2007 and was carried out by the WHO Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG), ...
متن کاملDioxins and furans determination in postmortem blood by gas chromatography--high-resolution mass spectrometry.
Dioxins and related compounds (furans) are persistent environmental contaminants that cause adverse biological effects. Their influence on humans is still unclear, except for accidental high-dose exposure. However, chronic exposure to these compounds seems to be involved in cancer, endocrine disruption, and neurobehavioral effects. For several years, a large concern about the potential health r...
متن کاملPub 3-01 - Dioxin PVC Healthcare.qxd
Dioxin is the name given to a group of persistent, very toxic chemicals. The group includes chlorinated dibenzofurans, and dibenzo-dioxins, the most toxic of which is 2,3,7,8 -tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The group also includes related compounds which are structurally similar and are dioxin-like in their activity. The toxicity of these compounds is measured against TCDD using “toxic equ...
