In recent years, developments of inorganic–organic hybrid materials on nanometer scale have been receiving significant attention due to a wide range of potential applications and high absorption in the visible part of the spectrum and high mobility of the charge carriers [1-3]. Conductive polymer with polyaromatic backbone including polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyaniline, etc. The received a g...

Rapoport (1946), Kaplan (1948), and Auerbach (1949) found formaldehyde highly mutagenic for Drosophila when administered with its food. Auerbach (1949), however, observed negative results when Drosophila was exposed to formaldehyde vapor and concluded that formaldehyde acts indirectly through chemical changes brought about in food constituents. Dickey, Cleland, and Lotz (1949) found formaldehyd...

partial replacement of formaldehyde with furfural in the urea-formaldehyde resin on the formaldehydeemission, physical and mechanical properties of particleboard was investigated. the modulus ofrupture (mor), modulus of elasticity (moe), internal bond (ib), water absorption (wa), thicknessswelling (ts) and formaldehyde emission (fe) of poplar particleboards made with the modifiedresins were mea...

photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (fes, fes/fes2, nio and tio2). the reaction was carried out in continues flow of co2 gas bubbled into the reactor. semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (drs) methods. sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. t...

Formaldehyde is a one-carbon, highly water-soluble aldehyde that is used in certain vaccines to inactivate viruses and to detoxify bacterial toxins. As part of the manufacturing process, some residual formaldehyde can remain behind in vaccines at levels less than or equal to 0.02%. Environmental and occupational exposure, principally by inhalation, is a continuing risk assessment focus for form...

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 exhibits redundant formaldehyde dehydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases that contribute to the detoxification of formaldehyde, a highly toxic compound. Physical and transcriptional analyses showed that the open reading frame (ORF) PP0328, encoding one of the formaldehyde dehydrogenases, is self-sufficient, whereas the other functional formaldehyde dehydrogenase gene ...

Concomitant contact allergy to formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasers remains common among patients with allergic contact dermatitis. Concentration of free formaldehyde in cosmetic products within allowed limits have been shown to induce dermatitis from short-term use on normal skin. The aim of this study was to investigate the formaldehyde content of cosmetic products made in Lithuania. 42 sa...

The adsorbent for both cationic and anionic dye based on cellulose polyaniline was prepared. Cellulose purified from sugarcane bagasse through the removal of hemicellulose lignin. Aniline polymerized in emulsion state presence ammonium persulfate as an initiator. results Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observation determination porosity confirm...

Background: As a human carcinogen, formaldehyde is a toxic chemical imposing adverse effects on public health and environment. Due to its high reactivity, colorless nature, sustainability, purity in commercial forms, and low prices, the production and consumption of this compound has expanded vastly in industries. Methods: In this study, a UVC photoreactor with a total volume of 120 mL was us...
