Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Engineer's Mathematical Approach to Designing an Emergency Room Decontamination Area for Weapons of Mass Destruction CasualtiesEldo E. Frezza, Erica Fletcher, Veronica Flores et al.This study will focus on the potential requirements for an emergency response facility in case of weapons of mass destruction casualties proposing mathematical models. A complete emergency room layout will be designed taking the following analyses and requirements into consideration: quality function development (QFD) and product layout; average number of patients in the system, average time in the system, average … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,429 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMicrowave-Sensitive Reactors to the Rescue: From Microwave-Assisted Chemistry to Environmental ApplicationsGjergji Shore, Dhimitri Gusho, Hassan Hassan, Eugenia GjurajThe idea of using microwave sensitive reactors is relatively new in chemistry and environmental areas. Applications in both areas might be different but the effects can be amazing. Flow through reactors coated with thin metallic films using a variety of deposition techniques have been used as vessels to conduct reactions in flow under microwave irradiation. The metal coating not only … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 23 May 2018 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of the Detoxification on the Shrinkage Temperature and pH of Chromium Leather Waste, Another Promising Way for the Tannery PollutionA. Malek, M. HachemiThe leather tannery industry produces a significant amount of solid chromium waste. Environmental concerns and escalating landfill costs are becoming increasingly serious problems to the leather industry and alternative disposal methods are needed. This research describes the possibility of decrease of the shrinkage temperature and to increase the pH value of leather waste by detoxification treatment with use of tartrate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractSurvival Following Severe Paraquat Poisoning a Case Study from the Andaman and Nicobar IslandsShiv Shankar Singh, Colin Sanchez, Prasan Kumar PandaParaquat poisoning continues to pose a significant public health challenge in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, largely due to its alarmingly high mortality rate. In this report, we present the case of a 39-year-old male farmer who ingested 30 mL of paraquat with the intent of suicide. Initially, the patient underwent prompt gastric lavage and exhibited relative stability. Upon admission, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2025 · 10,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequential Remediation Processes for Effective Removal of Oil from Contaminated SoilsDeepika Dave, Reema Alharathi, Abdel GhalyProblem statement: Over 2.2 billions of oil and oil products were transported every year and often these activities can result in air, water and soil contamination. Expousure to petroleum products can cause health problems to humn and animals and affect marine animals and wildlife habitats. Approach: The objective of this study was to developed a technology for the remediation of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPractical and Novel Sterilization Approach for the Pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus BacteriaRaftari Mohammad, Azizi Jalilian Farid, A.S. Abdulamir et al.Problem statement: Decontaminating meat surfaces has been the big concern of meat industry. Thus, various intervention strategies have been studied to reduce the level of bacteria on animals’ carcass surfaces. Approach: Mixture of different concentrations 1, 1.5 and 2% of acetic, lactic, propionic and formic acids at 1:1 ratio were spray washed on inoculated meat to evaluate their efficacy in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Quality of Homeland Security and Health Care Systems: The Texas Rangers InitiativeEldo E. Frezza, Maurizio Chiriva-InternatiHealthcare facilities are an essential component of an emergency response system in case of nuclear, biological or chemical attack, but at the present time, are poorly prepared for an incident. Key elements of the healthcare facility response plan include prompt recognition of the incident, staff and facility protection, patient decontamination and triage, medical therapy, and coordination with external emergency response … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Challenge of the Hospitals and Health Care Systems in Preparation for Biological and Chemical Terrorism AttackEldo Ermenegildo Frezza MDIn the present study a few aspects of planning for terrorism events that expose large numbers of people to contamination are discussed. Many issues were considered as an absolute requirement for implementation of NBC response: 1) policy, 2) plan and 3) emergency department response to surge capacity.
