The aim of this study was to achieve a method perform detailed characterization and human exposure studies nanosized nanostructured aerosol particles. source chosen mild steel, active gas, arc welding fume. setup consisted generation chamber, where can be performed, connected an airtight stainless steel 22 m3 chamber. Instrumentation, consisting tapered element oscillating microbalance, scanning mobility particle sizer, sampler for electron microscopy particle-induced X-ray emission analysis...
Airborne particles are associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to respiratory cardiovascular diseases in polluted areas. There is a growing interest nano-sized diameter <100 nm their potential health effects. Heart rate variability (HRV) noninvasive method for risk prediction high prevalent groups. The aim was evaluate the impact of indoor air on HRV healthy adult females. All exposures were performed as controlled chamber experiments particle exposure from burning candles,...
Welders are exposed to airborne particles from the welding environment and often develop symptoms work-related airways. A large fraction of in nano-size range. In this study we investigate if welders' airways affected by exposure derived gas metal arc mild steel levels corresponding a normal day. an chamber, 11 welders with 10 without lower non-welders symptoms, were fumes (1 mg/m3) filtered air, respectively, double-blind manner. Symptoms eyes upper lung function registered. Blood nasal...
Abstract Background Diesel engine exhaust causes adverse health effects. Meanwhile, the impact of renewable diesel exhaust, such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), on human is less known. Nineteen healthy volunteers were exposed to HVO for 3 h in a chamber with double-blind, randomized setup. Exposure scenarios comprised from two modern non-road vehicles 1) no aftertreatment system (‘HVO PM+NOx ’ PM1: 93 µg m −3 , EC: 54 NO: 3.4 ppm, NO 2 : 0.6 ppm), 2) an containing oxidation catalyst and...
Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) is a renewable diesel fuel used to replace petroleum diesel. The organic compounds in HVO are poorly characterized; therefore, toxicological properties could be different from exhaust. aim of this study was evaluate the exposure and effective biomarkers 18 individuals after short-term (3 h) exhaust fumes. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analyze urinary biomarkers. A proximity extension assay for measurement inflammatory proteins plasma samples....
Abstract. The plasma sheet plays a key role during magnetic storms because it is the bottleneck through which large amounts of flux that have been eroded from dayside magnetopause to be returned magnetosphere. Using about five years Geotail data we studied average properties near- and midtail central (CPS) in 10–30 RE range storms. earthward transport rate greatly enhanced storm main phase, but shows significant decrease. Hence, since cannot circulated at sufficient rate, this leads an...
<b>PEF curves are a useful but cumbersome tool in diagnosing work-related asthma. Using digital spirometer and smartphone app, time to clinical decision could be shortened by 6–7 weeks. Physician9s spent analysing PEF data is also shortened.</b>https://bit.ly/3d5SY78
Welders are exposed to gas and particle emissions that can cause severe lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a leading of mortality morbidity worldwide. It is difficult detect COPD early therefore mitigating measures may be delayed. The aim this study was investigate health in welders evaluate new sensitive methods with potential assess onset changes occupational settings.This assessed the symptoms active (n = 28) controls 17). Lung measurements were performed...
Abstract Background: Diesel engine exhaust causes adverse health effects. Meanwhile, the impact of renewable diesel on human is less known. In this study, nasal patency, pulmonary function, and self-rated symptoms were assessed in 19 healthy volunteers after two separate 3-hour exposures to (hydrotreated vegetable oil [HVO]) exhaust, exposure filtered air (FA) for comparison. The HVO generated with modern non-road vehicles (2019) having either: 1) no aftertreatment system (HVO PM+NOx ), or...
Ambient air pollution is recognized as a key risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality contributing to the global disease burden. The use of renewable diesel fuels, such hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), have increased in recent years its impact on human health are not completely known. present study investigated changes tone response exposure diluted HVO exhaust. participants, 19 healthy volunteers, were exposed chamber four separate occasions 3 h randomized order to: (1)...
