The municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill is recognized as an anthropogenic source of air pollutants that can have a negative impact on human health and the environment. Workers who work at MSW may be exposed to risk due inhalation substances such volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although VOCs account for 1% in gas, they are important because high level toxicity associated with them. Regular m...

There have been many reports of the relative hazards of formaldehyde, xylene, and hot paraffin wax fumes in pathology laboratories. In contrast, there have been comparatively few describing efficient extraction systems for their removal. When the opportunity presented to design a new laboratory the efficient removal of these fumes was given a high priority. In designing the extraction systems d...

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for the verification and calibration of spectrophotometers used to measure the concentration of Solvent Red dyes employed as colorants to mark “off-road” diesel fuel. SRM 2037 is certified for the purity of the Solvent Red 24 Dye (C24H20N4O, molecular mass 380.45) and for the secondderivative-based molecular absorption coefficients (extinction ...

background: gasoline station workers are exposed to volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex). objectives: to determine the level of exposure to btex compounds among gasoline station workers and measure the roadside concentrations of these compounds in the inner and outer areas of bangkok, thailand. methods: 49 workers at 6 gasoline stations in the inne...

One of the problems in removing pollutants from water  by photocatalytic methods is the separation of the catalyst from the solution. In this study, the catalyst stabilization method was used to solve this problem. Nano ZnFe2O4 supported on Copper Slag (CS) produced in this research is an environment-friendly, simple and cost-effective catalyst. ZnFe2O4</su...

Abstract Background Formaldehyde and xylene are two hazardous chemicals widely used in pathology laboratories all over the world. The aim of this work was to survey a large volume lab, measuring exposure workers residents formaldehyde xylene, verify efficacy undertaken preventive actions accomplishment with occupational limit values. Methods Environmental, personal, biological monitoring differ...

Shape selective xylene production is very important in the polymer industry because of its extensive use as raw material for monomer preparation. The acidity associated with the Lewis and Broensted centers present in the pillars interlayered clay and its textural properties allows good catalytic activity and shape selectivity toward p-xylene production. So, in the present study, ultrasonic and ...
