1. Spatial pattern of the environmental exposure to tin in the vicinity of an alloy industry in Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil
Resumo: O estanho é amplamente utilizado na indústria. A literatura sobre seus efeitos em humanos é escassa, principalmente quanto aos valores de referência em indicadores biológicos como sangue e urina. Também são raros os estudos sobre os limites do estanho no meio ambiente. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os pontos críticos da distribuição e

3. Avaliação da contaminação por elementos inorgânicos e ésteres ftálicos em poeira doméstica da região metropolitana de São Paulo / Assessment of contamination for inorganic elements and phthalate esters in household dust from the metropolitan region of São Paulo
A poeira doméstica tem sido identificada como um importante vetor de exposição por substâncias inorgânicas e orgânicas, potencialmente tóxicas, em crianças e adultos. A composição da poeira tem uma forte influência de contaminantes provenientes de ambientes internos e externos. Durante o uso normal ou por intempéries, de uma variedade de artefato

4. Infant Botulism Acquired from Household Dust Presenting as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Clostridium botulinum type B was detected by multiplex PCR in the intestinal contents of a suddenly deceased 11-week-old infant and in vacuum cleaner dust from the patient's household. C. botulinum was also isolated from the deceased infant's intestinal contents and from the household dust. The genetic similarity of the two isolates was demonstrated by pulse

5. Is House-Dust Nicotine a Good Surrogate for Household Smoking?
The literature is inconsistent regarding associations between parental smoking and childhood leukemia, possibly because previous studies used self-reported smoking habits as surrogates for children's true exposures to cigarette smoke. Here, the authors investigated the use of nicotine concentrations in house dust as measures of children's exposure to cigaret

6. Increased Levels of Markers of Microbial Exposure in Homes with Indoor Storage of Organic Household Waste
As part of environmental management policies in Europe, separate collection of organic household waste and nonorganic household waste has become increasingly common. As waste is often stored indoors, this policy might increase microbial exposure in the home environment. In this study we evaluated the association between indoor storage of organic waste and le

7. Quantitative Studies on Fabrics as Disseminators of Viruses: II. Persistence of Poliomyelitis Virus on Cotton and Wool Fabrics
The length of time that poliovirus could be recovered from wool gabardine and blanket, and from cotton sheeting, terry cloth, and knit jersey fabrics was determined under conditions of controlled temperature and humidity (25 C in 35 and 78% relative humidities). Three types of exposure of the fabrics to viruses were used: direct contact, aerosol, and virus-c

8. Lead in human blood and in the environment near a battery factory
Samples of blood, air, dust, soil, vegetation, and tap water were examined between 1973 and 1975 to determine whether a large battery factory (with a smelter) was contributing to lead in the environment and to lead absorption by the local population. Mean blood lead levels in the children of lead workers were about 6 μg/100 ml higher (P<0·001) than in othe

9. Allergenic Characterization of Tropomyosin from the Dusky Brown Cockroach, Periplaneta fuliginosa
Household arthropods are one of the most common causes of allergic diseases. Four species of cockroaches are found to reside in Korean homes, but published work deals almost exclusively with the German and American cockroaches. This study was undertaken to investigate the cross-reactive allergenic components of the dusky brown cockroach, Periplaneta fuligino
