Composition and origin of summertime air pollutants at Deep Creek Lake, Maryland
(Elsevier, 1989)
A 1 month intensive summertime field study conducted in rural western Maryland resulted in a comprehensive set of fine particle, gaseous and meteorological data. Sulfur in the assumed form of ammonium sulfate accounted for ...
Cadmium concentrations in recent snow and firn layers in the Canadian arctic
(Springer-Verlag, 1994-05)
2-Methoxyethanol inhibits gap junctional communication in rat myometrial myocytes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-06)
The glycol ethers 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) and 2-ethoxyethanol (2-EE) prolong gestation in rodents. Because gap junctions in the myometrium likely facilitate parturition, the present study examined inhibition of gap junctional ...
Development and evaluation of an advanced training technology course within a union-based industrial emergency response training program
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-04)
Background The Health and Safety Department of the United Automobile Workers recently introduced the use of Advanced Training Technologies (ATTs) into a previously successful Industrial Emergency Response (IER) program. ...
Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride elicits and intensifies the clinical expression of neuropathic insults
(Springer-Verlag, 1992-01)
It has been recently reported that phenyl-methanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) when given to hens after a neuropathic organophosphate (OP) promotes organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP). Chicks are resistant ...
Radiographic outcomes among South African coal miners
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-10)
Objectives : This study, the first to document the prevalence of pneumoconiosis among a living South African coal mining cohort, describes dose–response relationships between coal workers’ pneumoconiosis and respirable ...
Estimation and Mapping of Wet and Dry Mercury Deposition Across Northeastern North America
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
Whereas many ecosystem characteristics and processes influence mercury accumulation in higher trophic-level organisms, the mercury flux from the atmosphere to a lake and its watershed is a likely factor in potential risk ...
Optimal estimators for ambient air quality levels
(Elsevier, 1992)
Procedures to estimate missing data, determine extrema, and derive uncertainties for data collected in ambient air monitoring networks are presented. The optimal linear estimators used obtain unbiased, minimum variance ...
Cross-shift peak expiratory flow changes are unassociated with respirable coal dust exposure among South African coal miners Human Subjects Declaration: All participants in this study gave written informed consent, participated voluntarily, and had the right to withdraw at any stage. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of the University of Michigan and the Ethics Committee of University of KwaZulu-Natal.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-12)
Background The objectives of this study were to determine whether cross-shift changes in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were related to respirable dust exposure in South African coalminers. Methods Fifty workers were ...
