The aim of this study was to measure the levels of nickel in the skin contaminant layer of workers involved in specific processes and tasks within the primary nickel production and primary nickel user industries. Dermal exposure samples were collected using moist wipes to recover surface contamination from defined areas of skin. These were analysed for soluble and insoluble nickel species. Pers...

Phytohormones, including salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic (JA) have the potential to ameliorate plant development tolerance deleterious effects of toxic metals like nickel (Ni). Therefore, current study was carried out evaluate SA JA's interactive effect on root antioxidative response two Alyssum inflatum Nyár. populations against Ni-toxicity. Two A. species under different Ni concentrations (0...

Objective(s): Antibacterial materials are so significant in the textile industry, water disinfection, medicine, and food packaging. Unfortunately, organic compounds for sterilization show toxicity to the human body; therefore, the interest in inorganic disinfectants such as metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing. Materials and Methods: Nickel and nickel hydroxide nanoparticles (NiNPs ...

The objective of the present investigation was to study the influence of the occupational nickel exposure on the concentration of nickel in nasal mucosa, plasma and urine. Plasma, urine and biopsy specimens of nasal mucosa from 318 nickel workers, 15 retired nickel workers and 57 non-exposed controls were analyzed for nickel by atomic absorption spectrometry. The results showed that nickel expo...

To better understand the molecular mechanism(s) involved in the essentiality, toxicity, and/or carcinogenicity of nickel compounds, a mRNA differential display technique was used to identify gene(s) that were specifically induced by these carcinogens. Differential expression of several genes was observed in human lung A549 cells exposed to nickel subsulfide. One gene, Cap43, which expressed a 3...

Differential expression of sev eral genes was observed in human lung A549 cells exposed to nickel subsulfide. One gene, Cap43, which expressed ...

introduction because of population growth, human needs to produce raw materials have increased. different industries have developed that discharge pollutants into the environment. one type of the contaminants is heavy metals that are abundant in municipal and industrial waste waters. these compounds aren’t capable of biological degradation and in certain quantities are considered toxic to many ...

Key Points Fire  Elemental nickel dust and nickel carbonyl are flammable  Nickel is incompatible with acids, oxidizing agents and sulphur  Nickel and nickel carbonyl react violently with oxidants  Nickel and nickel compounds emit toxic fumes and vapours of nickel carbonyl when heated to decomposition  In the event of a fire involving nickel carbonyl, use fine water spray and gas tight kit ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of troxerutin (TXN) on Nickel (Ni) toxicity by using rats and in vitro model. Ni toxicity induced in male albino wistar rats (20 mg/kg body weight (b.w) was administered orally for 20 days). TXN was administered orally (100 mg/kg (b.w) for 20 days with administration of Ni. The toxic effect of Ni and the action of TXN was measure by determ...
