  1. 16. Isocyanates - methodology for gas and particle generation, sampling and detection

    Författare :Daniel Gylestam; Marianne Dalene; Gunnar Skarping; Daniel Karlsson; Dhimiter Bello; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Isocyanate; PUR; Dry sampler; PTR-MS; Transfer line; PPE; Environmental Chamber; Respirable Particles; Denuder Impactor; Aerosol; Particles; Impinger; air sampling; LC-MS; di-n-butylamine; DBA; ICA; MIC; HDI; TDI; IPDI; MDI; Occupational Exposure; Exposure; Occupational Health; Analytical Chemistry; analytisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Isocyanates are mainly used in the industry for the production of polyurethane (PUR) plastics. Workers are at risk of being exposed during the manufacturing of PUR. During thermal degradation of PUR, isocyanates are released and workers involved in hot work such as fire-fighting, welding etc. may also be exposed. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Occupational exposure to brominated flame retardants : With emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers

    Författare :Kaj Thuresson; Åke Bergman; Peter Fürst; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; occupational exposure; Brominated flame retardants; polybrominated diphenyl ethers; air and serum concentrations; decabromodiphenyl ether; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are a diverse group of chemicals, which are used to slow down or inhibit the development of fires. BFRs are incorporated into a wide range of consumer products that are considered as potential fire hazards, such as TV-sets, household appliances, computers, and textiles. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Brandgasflöden vid tunnelbränder : Temperaturskiktning vid tunnelbränder och vindorsakade luftrörelser i tunnlar

    Författare :Hans Nyman; Haukur Ingason; Patrick van Hees; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Today more and more underground facilities and tunnels are built. Fires in tunnels and underground facilities can lead to catastrophic consequences for users and owners. Fires in tunnels are complex phenomena and are in many cases difficult to calculate or simulate. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Burns in Zimbabwe. Epidemiology, Immunosuppression, Infection and Surgical Management

    Författare :Salathiel Mzezewa; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []

    Sammanfattning : Background: The burden of burn injuries is in developing countries, the majority of deaths (98%) related to fire burns are in developing countries.These injuries are associated with poverty and are mainly related to accidents with fires in the home environment. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Decision Support for Emergency Response to Multiple Natural Hazards : CHALLENGES AND NEEDS

    Författare :Viktor Sköld Gustafsson; Tobias Andersson Granberg; Mattias Hjerpe; Martin Waldemarsson; Margaret Mcnamee; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Global warming exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels will very likely lead to unavoidable increases of several climate hazards in the coming decades. Climate change phenomena can increase the risk of several extreme weather events, leading to risks of what is commonly considered as natural hazards, for instance landslides and forest fires. LÄS MER
