OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence of injuries to young children sustained by contact with a domestic vacuum cleaner and to highlight the potential for significant injury. An increase in public awareness of these risks might result in a reduction in morbidity. METHODS Over a period of one year, all children attending with an injury sustained because of contact with a domestic vacuum cleaner h...

Kinetic models are the most important tools for the prediction and evaluation of the flotation circuits performance. In order to determine the kinetic order and rate of flotation of a Gilsonite sample, flotation experiments were conducted using the combination of Gasoline-Pine Oil, and one test without any collector and frother. The pulp density was 10% and the experiments were carried out in b...

Interactions between pelagic thresher sharks (Alopias pelagicus) and cleaner wrasse were investigated at a seamount in the Philippines. Cleaning associations between sharks and teleosts are poorly understood, but the observable interactions seen at this site may explain why these mainly oceanic sharks regularly venture into shallow coastal waters where they are vulnerable to disturbance from hu...

The purpose of this paper is to provide information related waste technology processing. study was conducted using a literature review technique. This provides an in-depth discussion the impact and recent breakthrough in improving problems arising from generation disposal soiled diapers. Various technologies were highlighted, especially safer use cleaner technology, such as biodegradation compo...

The use of aseptic packaging creates many opportunities around the world to replace plastic based liquid and food-based containers in near future. This will lead a cleaner environment, less pollution within air sea, help stimulate growth economy. Soon be global which decrease amount along with number landfills throughout world. Many regions highlighted this paper are decreasing their usage whil...

BACKGROUND Allergenic pollen exposure is mostly seen as an outdoor phenomenon but studies have shown an indoor exposure: different pollen species including birch and grass pollen in houses, schools, and shops are leading to long-lasting symptoms even after the pollen season because pollen settle on surfaces and re-enter the indoor air depending on ventilation. To reduce indoor pollen load, wind...

Through the international (Convention) and European (Industrial Emissions Directive) legislations, industries have to apply preventive measures according to the Best Available Technique (BAT) concept or cleaner production (CP) strategies. Many technical solutions exist to conform, but the major stake is to assess the overall effect or impact of the implementation of a technique on the installat...

Mutualisms affect the biodiversity, distribution and abundance of biological communities. However, ecological processes that drive mutualism-related shifts in population structure are often unclear and must be examined to elucidate how complex, multi-species mutualistic networks are formed and structured. In this study, we investigated how the presence of key marine mutualistic partners can dri...

Use of a portable HEPA filter cleaner in a room is believed to be capable of reducing the risk of transmission of infectious diseases through removing the particles or large droplets to which pathogens are attached. It is hoped that the portable HEPA filter(s) can increase the effective air change rate (for particle removal only) in a general ward to the ventilation standard of an isolation war...

Toxicity and temporal changes in toxicity of freshwater-marsh-microcosms containing South Louisiana Crude (SLC) or diesel fuel and treated with a cleaner or dispersant, were investigated using Chironomus tentans, Daphnia pulex, and Oryzias latipes. Bioassays used microcosm water (for D. pulex and O. latipes) or soil slurry (for C. tentans) taken 1,7, 31, and 186 days after treatment. SLC was le...
