Background: Dental clinics are known to be one of the largest users of Toxic inorganic mercury. It is well documented that dentists and dental assistants who work with amalgam are chronically exposed to mercury vapor. This study investigates exposure to mercury vapor in a dental clinic. Methods: GBC cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), using sodium borohydride as the reducing age...

background: development of biodegradable and biocompatible films based on protein polymer with strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities has gradually obtained extensive concern in the world. in this study, the improvement of gelatin film properties incorporated with ferula assa-foetida essential oil (fao) as a potential antioxidant/antibacterial wound dressing film was investigated. mate...

pollution arising from plastic waste materials caused a great worry for researchers who are interested in protection of environment. this problem shifts their subject to bio-polymers for applications in packaging industries. however, their low water barrier properties are a critical problem. the effects of citric acid and methyl cellulose on water vapor and oxygen permeabilities and mechanical ...

background and objectives: kefiran (kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. the expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (pvoh) as a new composite film. materials and methods: solutions of 20 gra...

introduction a wide variety of world-class porphyry cu deposits occur in the urumieh-dohktar magmatic arc (udma) of iran.the arc is composed of calc-alkaline granitoid rocks, and the ore-hosting porphyry intrusions are dominantly granodiorite to quartz-monzonite (zarasvandi et al., 2015). it is believed that faults played an important role in the emplacement of intrusions and subsequentporphyry...

Accurate vapor-liquid equilibrium data have been obtained for ethyl acetate + 2-propanol and ethyl acetate + ethanol mixtures at 84.8 kPa, and the results are discussed thermodynamically. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data are correlated with redlich-Kister, Margules, Van-Laar and Ortega, equations the parameters and standard deviation of which are calculated and reported. The best correlati...

in this study, a generalized equation is presented to calculate vapor pressure of pure substances as a function of reduced temperature, critical pressure, and acentric factor. with the presented model, vapor pressures have been calculated and evaluated with nist data bank for 70 pure substances for about 14000 data points, and the overall average absolute percentage deviation has been only 0.78...

UNLABELLED The potential adverse health effects of PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter<2.5 μm) and vapor samples from three communities that neighbor railyards, Commerce (CM), Long Beach (LB), and San Bernardino (SB), were assessed by determination of chemical reactivities attributed to the induction of oxidative stress by air pollutants. The assays used were dithiothreitol (...
