13. Avaliação da qualidade do ar do interior de locais públicos-formaldeído,acetaldeído e acetona / Indoor Air Quality Evaluation of Public Places-Formaldehyde,Acetaldehyde and Acetone
No Brasil, muitas substâncias químicas presentes no ar não possuem legislação que norteiem ações de controle desses poluentes. Algumas são reconhecidas como cancerígenos por organizações internacionais, como é o caso do formaldeído. Nos últimos anos, trabalhos sobre poluição indoor (ar de interior) têm aumentado significativamente, devido à

14. Avaliação morfológica e de biomarcadores em epitélio respiratório e olfatório de cães da cidade de São Paulo e sua relação com o índice de material particulado (PM10) no ar atmosférico / Morphologic evaluation of biomarkers in respiratory and olfactory epithelium of dogs of the city of São Paulo and its relation with the index of particulado material (PM10) in atmospheric air
A poluição atmosférica interfere diretamente com a saúde populacional. Há evidências de que os animais de companhia representam sentinelas para fatores ambientais onde o homem e os demais animais estariam expostos. Animais podem ser usados como indicadores de poluição ambiental. O desenvolvimento industrial e urbano tem originado, em todo o mundo, um

20. Asthmatic symptoms and volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, and carbon dioxide in dwellings.
OBJECTIVES--As a part of the worldwide European Community respiratory health survey, possible relations between symptoms of asthma, building characteristics, and indoor concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in dwellings were studied. METHODS--The study comprised 88 subjects, aged 20-45 years, from the general population in Uppsala, a mid-Swedish

21. National burden of disease in India from indoor air pollution
In the last decade, a number of quantitative epidemiological studies of specific diseases have been done in developing countries that for the first time allow estimation of the total burden of disease (mortality and morbidity) attributable to use of solid fuels in adult women and young children, who jointly receive the highest exposures because of their

22. Carboxyhaemoglobin in women exposed to different cooking fuels.
Blood carboxyhaemoglobin levels were estimated by double wavelength spectrophotometry in non-smoking women living in Chandigarh and its environs and related to the cooking fuel they used. Twenty nine used kerosene, 28 biomass fuel, and 30 liquified petroleum gas; the 27 control subjects had not done any cooking for seven days. The carboxyhaemoglobin concentr

23. Potential adverse health effects of wood smoke.
The use of wood stoves has increased greatly in the past decade, causing concern in many communities about the health effects of wood smoke. Wood smoke is known to contain such compounds as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, aldehydes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and fine respirable particulate matter. All of these have been shown to caus

24. Airway response of asthmatic subjects to inhaled allergen after exposure to pollutants.
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have suggested that air pollutants resulting from vehicle exhaust emissions and burning of fossil fuels, either in combination or individually, may enhance the airway response of asthmatic subjects to inhaled allergen. It was hypothesised that the airway response to inhaled allergen after exposure to a combination of 400 ppb nitrog
