BACKGROUND Mustard gas has different effects on different body systems such as respiratory tract, blood, gastrointestinal, skin, eye, endocrine and peripheral nervous system. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of life in chemical warfare veterans due to sulfur mustard exposure. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a cross-sectional and analytic study, 242 patients who had ...

This article discusses the possibilities to study relevant quality aspects of food, such as color, nutrient content, and safety, in a quantitative way via mathematical models. These quality parameters are governed by chemical, biochemical, microbial, and physical changes. It is argued that the modeling of such quality aspects is in fact kinetic modeling. Therefore, attention is paid to chemical...

most consumers prefer natural coatings to the chemical ones to act as an enhancement of storage quality of fruits. in this research, quality of thomson oranges coated with chitosan-clay nano composite edible coating plus fungicide-wax chemical coating was compared with a non-coated sample during storage for a period of 3 months through a factorial design (3×4). orange samples were kept in a col...

Groundwater contamination is a serious problem facing the countries. Because groundwater is vulnerable to contamination from a variety of sources, and, once contaminated, it is very difficult to restore to its original quality. The main objective of this study was evaluation of groundwater quality in Shahrekord aquifer and finding the source of the groundwater contamination. Some of the chemica...

this study investigates the influence of some chemical additives such as methanol, ethanol, sodium oleat, chloroform and sodium hexametaphosphate (shmp) on the dry fine grinding of calcite (x50= 33 µm) using a stirred media mill. the experiments were carried out by a batch operation, and the change in colour properties (ry, whiteness and yellowness) of calcite powder. the results showed that th...

Water is one of the most important of all natural resources known on earth. It is important to all living organisms, most ecological systems, human health, food production and economic development. Analysis of Physicochemical and Microbiological parameters viz. colour, odour turbidity, pH ,total alkalinity, total hardness ,TDS, D.O. ,Fe ,F, river water and tube well water were determined in win...

Deficiencies of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin A (“hidden hunger”) afflict over three billion people. Currently there is an increasing preference among consumers for foods that contain not only traditional nutrients but also provide other compounds that are beneficial to health and well-being. Food systems that feed the world must be changed in ways that will insure that balance...
