background: hairdressers are occupationally exposed to a number of agents in their workplace that result in respiratory symptoms and changes in pulmonary function. objective: to evaluate associations between occupational exposure and respiratory function and reported symptoms in a group of hairdressers compared to a control group. methods: a questionnaire on respiratory symptoms and workplace c...

BACKGROUND Children who were only exposed to a mixture of chloromethylisothiazolinone (CMIT) and methylisothiazolinone (MIT) as humidifier disinfectant (HD) components were evaluated for humidifier disinfectant-associated lung injury (HDLI) from 2012. This study was to evaluate the pulmonary function using, impulse oscillometry (IOS) for children exposed to a mixture of CMIT/MIT from HD. METH...

Evaluating the power densities emitted by GSM1800 and GSM900 BTS antennas isconducted via two methods. Measurements are carried out in half a square meter grids around twoantennas. CST Microwave STUDIO software is employed to estimate the power densities in order fordetailed antenna and tower modeling and simulation of power density. Finally, measurements obtainedfrom computational and experime...

background: tremendous amount of researches have investigated the issue of water photodisnfection. the aim of this research is to illustrate the influences of bacterial density, turbidity, exposure time and potassium persulfate (kps) dosage on the efficacy of associated solar disinfection (sodis) with kps for e. coli (atcc: 25922) eradication as an efficient and inexpensive process. methods: de...
