WOODCHIP PATHOGEN DECONTAMINATION WITH A BENEFICIAL MICROBIAL MIXTURE

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com MOJ Food process Technol 2015, 1(2): 00011 process costs and operational complications are limiting factors for such combination. New disinfection methods and media are needed to overcome the disadvantages of the current technologies [3]. Nanomaterials are emerging and promising fungicidal, algicidal, and bactericidal media that could be applied for...

Disposable N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are widely used by healthcare workers to reduce exposures to infectious biological aerosols. There is currently major concern among public health officials about a possible shortage of N95 FFRs during an influenza pandemic. Decontamination and reuse of FFRs is a p...

Zirconium tungesto-vanadate cation exchange material was successfully architectured at open ended nanotubes morphological structure in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol as a stabilizing agent using microwave route. The ion exchange capacity (IEC) of the material was recorded as 4.8 meq/g of about 640 m(2)/g for a specific surface area. The x-ray diffraction pattern of the material implies its c...

Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) after medication overdose are often given activated charcoal initially for gastrointestinal decontamination. Complications of charcoal are rare, but do occur. The following case describes a patient with pre-existing undiagnosed diverticular disease who developed sigmoid perforation after a single dose of activated charcoal, given without cath...
