Therefore, to prevent accidental fires and accidents, sodium is stored i...

Diesel is one of the fuels used in automobiles. But diesel is often adulterated with Kerosene which harms the engine and reduces the life of automobiles. An electronic technique has been developed to determine the adulteration in diesel by kerosene, in which the light is passed in an optical fiber, the cladding of which is removed over a small area, where the evanescent wave interacts with the ...

Abstract Water pollution with Kerosene is considered as a serious environmental problem in Basrah. Typha domingensis was used to treat kerosene-contaminated water the construction wetland system. The Isolated bacteria most efficient degradation Kerosene. Bacteria isolated from contaminated by hydrocarbons of four stations Basrah, these isolates were tested show efficiency degrading be phytoreme...

The use of crude kerosene as a dietary supplement in boarding schools has been a common practice in east Africa and other countries for many years, with the belief of it reducing the sex drive (libido) at the pubertal stage. There is however no scientific basis for this belief. The present study aimed at using a rat animal model to investigate the effects of crude kerosene on serum testosterone...

PURPOSE Poisoning due to drugs is influenced to a large extent by the population's socioeconomic and cultural status. The purpose of our study was to determine and present the pattern of poisoning with kerosene in Princess Rahmat hospital, Irbid, Jordan, and to assess the effects of variables such as age, season, sex and agent on poisoning frequency in Princess Rahmat hospital, northern Jordan....

BACKGROUND Globally, solid fuels are used by about 3 billion people for cooking. These fuels have been associated with many health effects, including acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) in young children. Nepal has a high prevalence of use of biomass for cooking and heating. OBJECTIVE This case-control study was conducted among a population in the Bhaktapur municipality, Nepal, to invest...
