Individuals are exposed to volatile compounds present in tap water by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption. Traditional risk assessments for water often only consider ingestion exposure to toxic chemicals, even though showering has been shown to increase the body burden of certain chemicals due to inhalation exposure and dermal absorption. We collected and analyzed time-series samples o...

Paraquat poisoning is associated with very high mortality and often results in severe complications including pulmonary fibrosis and multi-organ failure. Majorities of the reported cases had paraquat exposure from oral route either due to accidental intake or suicidal attempt. Systemic complications from dermal exposure were infrequently reported. We reported a patient suffering from acute rena...

Sodium pyruvate, a free radical scavenger was evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using UV radiation induced dermal erythema on guinea pig and compared with that of standard naproxen. Oral as well as topical pyruvate exhibited significant activity against UV induced dermal erythema model and the activity was comparable to that of naproxen. In the other pharmacodynamic studies, such as the ...

A health risk-based surface contamination cleanup standard (SCS) for beryllium (BE) was developed to facilitate the safe transfer of property (equipment and buildings) previously used in BE-related processes. Previous SCSs for BE were primarily based on Department of Energy (DOE) housekeeping criteria rather than health risks. Quantitative health risk assessment methods were used to develop an ...
