Children who had received emergency treatment for asthma were found to have been exposed to significantly higher concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at homeBMJOccupational & Environmental Medicine
Novel organic phosphorus compounds containing at least one phosphorus atom, which may be present in the trivalent state, at least two carboxylic acid ester groups and a phosphorus to carbon double linkage prepared by reacting a malonic a... GUNTER BERGERHOFF,BELA TIHANYI,JURGEN FALBE,... - US...
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are chemicals that vaporize (become a gas) at room temperature, and are the leading cause of ground-level air pollution (also known as “smog”). VOCs react with nitrogen oxides – particularly on hot summer days – to form smog. Common sources of VOC emiss...
In this paper, we have modeled and analyzed affinities and kinetics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorption (and desorption) on various surface chemical groups using multiple self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) array. The high-frequency and micro...
Relative abundance of organic compounds The observed fluorescence response, if solely from organic molecules, can be used to provide a conservative estimate of concentration using a single ring aromatic (benzene) with a weak fluorescence cross-section and an assumed depth of penetration of 75 µ...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exert considerable influence on tropospheric chemistry; they play a key role in the formation and production of secondary air pollutants such as ozone, peroxyacetyl nitrates, aldehydes, and secondary organic aerosols through complex photochemical cycles (Seinfeld and Pandis...
We are not living at room temperature. We exist at 98.6 F (37 C). If you are eating large quantities of oils that are liquids at room temperature, you are likely eating way too much of them and very likely the wrong ones. If you cooking or frying with liquid oils, it compounds the...
This story was updated at 1:09 p.m. ET. NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has discovered complex chemistry on the Red Planet, as well as hints of long-sought organic compounds that could aid primitive life, scientists announced today (Dec. 3). The Curiosity rover found evidence of chlorine, su...
involved in the total synthesis of architecturally complex bioactive natural products, it was inevitable that at many points over the past four decades, the Smith Research Group has and continues to undertake synthetic campaigns towards "hot target" compounds at the same time as other research ...
In these areas, the research attention is significantly moving from traditionally effective but expensive noble metal-based NM catalysts like Au, Pt, and Pd to new compounds and comprehensive multi-component structures, containing cheaper 3d elements like Cu, Ni and their combinations9,10. One of ...
