First aid measures Description of necessary first aid measures Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention. If necessary, call a poison center or physician. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Skin contact : Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Ingestion : Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention. If necessary, call a poison center or physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

  • Quantitation of Hydrocarbons in Vehicle Exhaust and Ambient Air
    QUANTITATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN VEHICLE EXHAUST AND AMBIENT AIR by Randall Bramston-Cook Lotus Consulting 5781 Campo Walk, Long Beach, California 90803 Presented at EPA Measurement of Toxic and Related Air Pollutants Conference, Cary, North Caolina, September 1, 1998 Copyright 1998 Lotus Flower, Inc. QUANTITATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN VEHICLE EXHAUST AND AMBIENT AIR Randall Bramston-Cook Lotus Consulting 5781 Campo Walk, Long Beach, California 90803 ABSTRACT Ironically, one of the most complex analyses in gas chromatography involves the simplest computation to generate concentrations. The difficult determination of hydrocarbons in vehicle exhaust and ambient air involves separation of over 200 compounds, requires cryogenic concentration to bring expected concentrations into a detectable range, and mandates usage of multiple columns and intricate valving. Yet, quantitation of these hydrocarbons can be calibrated with only one or two component standards and a simple mathematical operation. Requirements for meeting this goal include: (1) even detector responses for all hydrocarbons from ethane to n-tridecane (including olefins and aromatics), (2) accurate and reproducible measure of the sample injection volumes, (3) maximizing trap, column and detector performances, and (4) minimizing sample carry-over. Importance of these factors and how they can be implemented in routine measurements are presented with examples from vehicle exhaust and ambient air analyses. TEXT Hydrocarbons remain a major pollutant in our atmosphere. Much of the problem generated is from incomplete combustion and unburned fuel in vehicle exhaust. Accurate measure of atmospheric and exhaust levels for hydrocarbons is on-going in many facilities in the world. This analysis is undoubtedly one of the most complex in chromatography due to large number of individual hydrocarbon components found, the low levels required to be measured, and high concentrations of potential inferences to the measuring process.

While there are a number of pollutants of concern, little information exists on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) releases at e-waste sites. To assess Keywords: occupational exposures and estimate health risks, we measured VOC levels at the Agbogbloshie e-waste site in E-waste Ghana, the largest e-waste site in Africa, by collecting both fixed-siteand personal samples for analyzing a wide Volatile organic compounds range of VOCs. A total of 54 VOCs were detected, dominated by aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Mean and Source apportionment median concentrations of the total target VOCs were 46 and 37 μg/m3 at the fixedsites, and 485 and 162 μg/m3 Exposure Health risk for the personal samples. Mean and median hazard ratios were 2.1 and 1.4, respectively, and cancer risks were 4.6 × 10-4 and 1.5 × 10-4.

Goldman And approved by _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION CATALYTIC DEHYDROAROMATIZATION OF ALKANES BY PINCER-LIGATED IRIDIUM COMPLEXES By ANDREW MURRAY STEFFENS Dissertation Director: Alan S. Goldman Further understanding of the activation of small molecules by metal complexes is an ongoing goal in organometallic chemistry, and expansion on previously reported reactions is of particular interest. This thesis will discuss expansion of transfer dehydrogenation reactions, specifically multiple transfer dehydrogenation reactions of alkanes leading to aromatic products in one pot. The synthesis of the pincer catalyst used for dehydroaromatization reactions is presented along with full characterization of each step. Optimization of dehydroaromatization reactions was performed on a variety of n-alkane starting materials to maximize yield of alkylbenzene products. Kinetics and concentrations for each starting material are presented to highlight the complexity of these reactions. Despite a mechanism that would suggest otherwise, dehydroaromatization reactions surprisingly yield benzene regardless of the starting n-alkane. This interesting appearance of benzene is discussed along with yields of benzene for various n-alkanes. ii Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations were performed to elucidate the mechanism through which benzene is formed, and these studies show that benzene forms though a retro-ene mechanism.

  • VOC Profiles of Saliva in Assessment of Halitosis and Submandibular Abscesses Using HS-SPME-GC/MS Technique”
    Supplementary material- “VOC profiles of saliva in assessment of halitosis and submandibular abscesses using HS-SPME-GC/MS technique” 1. Methodology optimization 1.1. Fiber selection (recovery assessment) The performance of the three most often employed SPME fibers (CAR/PDMS- 75 µm , DVB/PDMS- 65 µm and PDMS- 100 µm) was evaluated and results were expressed in terms of relative response. Pool of saliva samples belonging to 6 different control individuals were evaluated in triplicate, with each model of fiber. Figure 1 presents the obtained results, showing that a best recovery for most of the compounds was obtained when DVB/PDMS fiber was employed, being that the fiber selected for the further experiments. Figure 1- Relative recovery (%) of detected compounds for different SPME fiber’s coatings (sample volume = 1 mL, extraction time = 45 min, extraction temperature = 37°C). 1.2. Extraction time Different extraction times (10, 30, 45 and 60 min) were tested in triplicate for a pool of saliva, prepared as described in 1.1.. A graph depicted in Figure 2 presents obtained average total area (summed up areas of detected peaks) for each time tested. Extraction conducted during 45 min displayed acceptable performance and lower standard deviation was observed, indicating better reproducibility of profiles. Figure 2- Average total area obtained for different times of extraction (sample volume = 1 mL, extraction temperature = 37°C). 1.3. Sample volume Different volumes of sample (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mL) were tested in triplicate for a pool of saliva, prepared as described in 1.1.. A graph depicted in Figure 3 presents obtained average total area (summed up areas of detected peaks) for each tested volume, as well as the average number of detected peaks.
