Currently, plant templated synthesis of magnetite iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) was emerged for multifunctional purposes. In this study, the leaf extract Thymus schimperi utilized to synthesize Fe3O4 NPs. The synthesized NPs were characterized by using technical tools such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) scanning electron microscopy-energy disp...

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...

previous studies showed that the level of total mercury (thg) in sanandaj gheshlagh reservoir (sgr) water is higher than those limits established by who (i.e., 1 µg/l). therefore a research project to evaluate the level of total mercury in sgr sediments and benthos masses during july to december 2009 from three different sites with different depths (2 to 30 meters) was carried out. samples were...

introduction: dentists are exposed to mercury vapor from dental amalgam in their routine occupational practice; excess exposure to mercury is harmful. the aim of this study was to assess the influence of some possible related factors on the urine mercury levels of general dentists and restorative specialists in mashhad in 2010. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was performed ran...

Over the decades, application of heavy metals and expansion civilization resulted in severe pollutions aqueous solutions. The poor degradation toxic metal contaminants hydrosphere undoubtedly posed a huge threat to environmental safety biological health. In this review, as most common pollutants, arsenium (As), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), strontium (Sr) were introduced detail. chemi...

in the present work a ph-dependent cloud point extraction procedure using ph-sensitive hydrogel polymer was applied for preconcentration and spectrophotometric determination of the hg(ii) as its thio micher's ketone complex. central composite design (ccd) and response surface method were applied to design the experiments and find out the optimum conditions. four factors entitled concentration o...

The conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and light (triboelectrification and tr iboluminescence) by the movement of mercury over glass surfaces coated with scintil lator compounds was investigated. The motion of mercury over the coated glass involves the bu i ld-up of potential differences in excess of 20V; the na ture of these triboelectric potentials differs signif icantly f...

Background: Mercury (Hg) is a hazardous metal responsible for environmental contamination and human intoxication. Methyl mercury bio-accumulation through food chain can be responsible for chronic mercury exposure of South Caspian Sea communities with a diet rich in fish. Uncertainties about exposure levels that could have damaging consequences for nervous system development of infants makes b...
