Assessing the Impact of Atmospheric Wet and Dry Deposition using Chemical and Toxicological Analysis

Abstract :Chemical analyses and toxicity test results for atmospheric wet and dry deposition from 5 sampling sites in Greece are presented in this study. In most of the samples examined, the heavy metals content of the filtered water samples was relatively low. There was quite a high concentration of amorphous sulphur and carbon in the solid particles of the deposition. Beta radiation level was ...

Effect of combined Low-Dose Radon- and Hyperthermia Treatment (LDRnHT) of patients with ankylosing spondylitis on serum levels of cytokines and bone metabolism markers: a pilot study

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a rheumatic disease and almost 50% of the affected patients suffer from osteoporosis. The ratio of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor κB Ligand (RANKL) and ...

Management, safety cited for radiation release

Poor management, an eroding safety culture, ineffective maintenance and a lack of proper oversight are being blamed for a radiation release that contaminated 21 workers and shuttered the federal government's nuclear waste dump two months ago in ...

Capacitive Humidity Sensor for Weather Balloons and Radio Sondes

Optimal for weather balloons and radiosondes. Stable and robust humidity sensors with ultra-fast response time are often required in applications involving meteorology – not only in normal conditions, but also under elevated environmental constraints such as extremely low temperatures, high radiation levels and under extreme condensation. Such applications need fully tailored solutions, ...
