Maximum exposure levels for xylene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in cars.

2004

Although millions of individuals are exposed to emissions from articles inside cars, relatively little has been published about possible adverse health effects and about exposure levels that can be considered safe or "acceptable". Xylene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde represent typical examples of relevant volatile organic substances (VOC) released from articles inside cars. Recently, a concept for derivation of maximum exposure levels for volatile organic substances in cars has been published. In the present study we applied this concept to derive maximum exposure levels for xylene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde and compared the resulting concentrations to exposure levels usually found ins…

A new equipment to measure the combined effect of humidity, temperature, mechanical stress and UV exposure on the creep behaviour of polymers

2008

To be able to study and predict the physical properties of a polymeric material under different environmental conditions is very important. Moisture, UV irradiation, thermal and mechanical stresses can dramatically change the characteristics of the material and hinder some specific applications. In this work, a new equipment able to perform creep tests under different environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, stress) is presented. Some preliminary results are also presented using a sample of polyamide 6. As this polymer is sensitive to all these variables, it is appropriate to verify the effectiveness of the new instrument.

Addressing Exposome: An Innovative Approach to Environmental Determinants in Pediatric Respiratory Health

2022

Developmental age is particularly vulnerable to impacts of environmental exposures. Until recent years, the field of environment and child health has predominantly relied on the study of single exposure–health effect relationships. The exposome is an emerging concept in epidemiology, encompassing the totality of the exposures experienced by an individual throughout life and their changes over time. This innovative approach provides a risk profile instead of individual predictors. Exposome research may contribute to better understand the complex relationships between environmental exposures and childhood respiratory health, in order to implement prevention strategies and mitigate adverse hea…

SULT1A1 gene deletion in BRCA2-associated male breast cancer: a link between genes and environmental exposures?

2013

SULT1A1, a member of sulfotransferase superfamily, is a drug and hormone metabolizing enzyme involved in the metabolism of a variety of potential mammary carcinogens of endogenous and exogenous origin. Interestingly, the metabolic activity of SULT1A1 can be affected by varia- tions in gene copy number. Male Breast Cancer (MBC) is a rare disease and less investigated disease compared to female BC (FBC). As in FBC, the concurrent effects of genetic risk factors, particularly BRCA2 mutations, increased exposure to estrogens and environmental carcinogens play a relevant role in MBC. By quantitative real-time PCR with TaqMan probes, we investigated the presence of SULT1A1 gene copy number variat…

Valūtas un valūtas kursa svārstību ierobežošana ilgtermiņa līgumos

2017

Bakalaura darbs „Valūta un valūtas kursa svārstību ierobežošana ilgtermiņa līgumos” sniedz ieskatu jautājumos par maksājuma izdarīšanas valūtu un valūtas kursa svārstību ierobežošanu līgumā. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kādā valūtā maksājums izdarāms, ja puses līgumā par to tieši nav vienojušās, kā arī noskaidrot efektīvākos valūtas kursa svārstību ierobežošanas veidus. Pētījuma rezultātā autore konstatē kritērijus, atbilstoši kuriem tiek noteikta maksājuma izdarīšanas valūta un identificē efektīvākos mehānismus valūtas kursa svārstību ierobežošanai līguma ietveros. Atslēgvārdi: valūta, valūtas kurss, valūtas kursa svārstības, darījuma risks, valūtas de-valvācija, valūtas revalvācija.

Reacción emocional ante la exposición involuntaria a cibersexo en adolescentes: factores moduladores

2019

Los avances realizados durante los últimos años en el ámbito de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación han favorecido un uso generalizado de internet. La población adolescente utiliza Internet de forma natural y habitual para comunicarse, entretenerse y realizar tareas escolares. Si bien son múltiples los beneficios derivados del uso de internet, es necesario considerar que no está exento de riesgos como puede ser la exposición involuntaria (EI) a material sexual. Dadas las consecuencias que dicha exposición puede tener (sobre todo en edades tempranas), nuestro objetivo ha sido analizar las principales reacciones a nivel emocional durante la EI a material sexual, explorando posibl…

Students' school‐level symptoms mediate the relationship between a school's observed moisture problems and students’ subjective perceptions of indoor…

2020

Moisture damage can influence the subjective assessment of indoor air quality (subjective IAQ) in various ways. We studied whether the frequency of symptoms reported across students at school level mediates the relationship between observed mold and dampness in a school building and students' subjective IAQ. To answer this research question, we tested a multilevel path model. The analyzed data were created by merging two nationwide data sets: (a) survey data from students, including information on subjective IAQ (N = 24,786 students); (b) data from schools, including information on mold and dampness in a school building (N = 222). After the background variables were adjusted, schools' obser…
