Lead pollution incidents have occurred frequently in mainland China, which has caused many lead poisoning incidents. This paper took a battery recycling factory as the subject, and focused on measuring the blood lead levels of environmental samples and all the children living around the factory, and analyzed the relationship between them. We collected blood samples from the surrounding resident...

OBJECTIVES Prior studies have been performed on cotton textile plants throughout the world. This study was planned to identify the rate of byssinosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in hemp and jute workers and those who worked with both of them. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was realized in a factory which consecutively processed hemp and jute. The study enrollment included...

A petrochemical worker with aplastic anemia was referred to our hospital. He worked in a petroleum resin-producing factory and had been exposed to low-level benzene while packaging the powder resin and pouring lime into a deactivation tank. According to the yearly environmental survey of the working area, the airborne benzene level was approximately 0.28 ppm. Exposure to benzene, a common chemi...

This study aimed to perform an ergonomic analysis in a fiberglass parts factory. For this purpose, was used the methodology of Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA). At the end of the study it was possible to identify some ways to the development of improvements in order to contribute to the transformation of working conditions in the sector analyzed.

merce and industry are inseparable, T will assume that the term "industry" includes total working populations, viz. factory operatives, office workers, salesmen, accountants, engineers, chemists, physicists, research workers, and the many other specialists, technologists, and technicians who make up our employed population of some 25 million persons. This emphasises the variety of tasks, as wel...

This paper presents radio wave propagation characteristics of a modern factory at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Fading deeps from space diversity at transmitting and receiving antennas are proposed with measured data. These models provide both large scale fading and boundary limitation in which almost measured data is contained. There are five path loss categories, namely LOS, NLOS same area, NLOS di...

A chemical factory, using a production technology of acetaldehyde with mercury catalysis, was located southeast of Qingzhen City in Guizhou Province, China. Previous research showed heavy mercury pollution through an extensive downstream area. A current investigation of the mercury distribution in ambient air, soils, and plants suggests that mobile mercury species in soils created elevated merc...
