Environmentally Friendly Nanocoating for Rapid Detection of Nerve Agents on Textile Fabric.

For decades, the visual detection of nerve agents with the naked eye within seconds has posed significant challenges in the development of nerve agent-indicating materials. This study introduces an environmentally friendly nanocoating that enables textiles to detect nerve agents. The nanocoating is created by combining a 3% solution of synthesized ,-dimethylaniline-4-azopyridine nerve agent-indicating dye (NAD) with a 0.

Use of SEM/EDX methods for the analysis of ambient particulate matter adhering to the skin surface.

Background: The skin is exposed to numerous particulate and gaseous air pollutants. The ones that need particular attention are the particles that adhere to the skin surface, which can later cause direct skin damage. This study aimed to characterize air pollution (AP) particles adhered to the human skin by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with X-ray dispersive energy spectrometry (EDX).

How to prevent skin damage from air pollution. Part 1: Exposure assessment.

Both epidemiological and experimental studies have demonstrated the crucial connection between air pollution exposure and skin disorders. The exact mechanisms by which air pollutants mediate skin damage remain largely unknown. Therefore, it is very necessary to investigate the mechanism of air pollution-induced skin damage and explore some potential protective and therapeutic methods.

Health Effects Associated With Exposure to Anesthetic Gas Nitrous Oxide-NO in Clinical Hospital - Shtip Personel.

Aim: To show certain health effects associated with acute and chronic exposure to nitrous oxide of staff of the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care at the Clinical Hospital in Shtip.

Methods: A transversal study was conducted, that include 43 health workers (23 - exposed and 20 - unexposed). Personal exposure to nitrous oxide for this group members was assessed through continuous measurement over 8 hours shift within breathing zone of the subjects involved, using handheld electrochemical instrument with datalogging option direct.

Nitrous Oxide Exposure of Health Care Personnel in the Operating Rooms and Intensive Care Units in Hospitals in Macedonia.

Aim: To determine average personal exposure to nitrous oxide for anaesthesiologists and nurses working in operating rooms (ORs) and intensive care units (ICU) in Clinical Hospital in Shtip, ENT University Clinic in Skopje and General Hospital in Kochani.

Methods: To determine TWA exposure nitrous oxide concentration was continuously measured over 8 hours shift within breathing zone of the subjects involved, using the handheld electrochemical instrument with data logging option. Results obtained were statistically processed.
