Disposable filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) used by health care workers are not designed to reduce the inhalation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Smoke-generating surgical procedures release VOCs and have been associated with the following complaints: foul smell, headaches, nausea,
The Isoparaffins covered in this manuscript are branched aliphatic hydrocarbons with a carbon skeleton length ranging from approximately C10 to C15. They are used in the manufacture of liquid imaging toners, paint formulations, charcoal lighter fluid, furniture polishes and floor clearners.
Currently, it is known that several chemical agents used or generated by the oil industry are classified as mutagens and/or carcinogens. Among these we have gasoline, diesel, butane gas, styrene, benzene, chloroform, and others. Studies have verified that these chemicals have effects in fertility
BACKGROUND
Organochloride insecticides are chlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons having molecular weights in the range of 300-550 Da. Case series of endosulfan poisoning are extremely rare in the literature. We report 23 cases of endosulfan poisoning.
METHODS
This retrospective study enrolled patients
The non-targeted action of fungicides leads to DNA damage of organisms, which causes several serious diseases such as cancer, behavioral change, and nausea. The mechanistic aspects of DNA damage by fungicides are not much known, irrespective of its importance. Spectroscopic and molecular dynamics
An acute confusional state was observed to follow heavy exposure to polyurethane gloss paint fumes in a previously healthy 60 year old man. This state remitted over a 3-day period, but was followed by transient bone marrow suppression and evidence of liver cell damage. The corroborated absence of
Methylene chloride is a chlorinated hydrocarbon used widely in home and industry. Its intentional abuse has not been reported previously. We describe the case of a 14-year-old boy who presented with lethargy, nausea, and chills six hours after the intentional inhalation of a household product
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-HP) levels in contemporary Swedish vulcanization workers and in controls. These levels were used as an index substance for vulcanization fumes, as well as a biomarker for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The risk of
BACKGROUND
Paint thinner contains a mixture of various aromatic hydrocarbons. A few studies have reported biochemical abnormalities and clinical symptoms of paint thinner intoxication among adult patients.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to design a retrospective descriptive study to evaluate clinical and
Diesel motors are employed to an increasing extent for occupational transport and fumes from diesel driven vehicles constitute an increasing problem as regards atmospheric pollution but, in particular, they constitute a considerable risk to health for the workers exposed to diesel exhaust fumes in
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, nonirritating gas that is produced through the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Sources of CO include combustion devices (e.g., boilers and furnaces), motor-vehicle exhaust, generators and other gasoline or diesel-powered engines, gas space
Psychiatric medications are among the drugs affected by cigarette smoke, and because of the high prevalence of smoking in the psychiatric community, psychiatric patients are particularly at risk when entering the smoke-free environment of a A serious, relatively unrecognized, occupational health problem involves the interaction of ethyl alcohol and chemical agents used in industry. Workers who drink alcohol and are exposed to certain chemical agents may experience adverse health effects such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and liver
Subjects exposed to industrial solvents may experience vertigo and nausea. Solvents are usually volatile hydrocarbon compounds, which are important parts of everyday life in a modern society. They may also cause neurastenia, personality changes, and reduced intellectual capacity. The syndrome that
The nontargeted action of fungicides affects the structure of protein, which leads to several serious diseases such as nausea, cancer, fetus malformations, movement dysfunction, and behavioral changes in human and animals. Hence, understanding of the structural change in protein induced by
