4.Study of the Indoor Air Pollutants and Their Health Effects
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(02):-
As the people's life quality improved, more and more attention has been paid to indoor air pollution. The SBS (sick building syndrome) resulting from indoor air pollution has become an unavoidable problem in the modern life. Indoor air pollution has been listed as one of the five most dangerous environmental factors to human health. The present paper mainly analysed the prominent indoor air pollutants such as formaldehyde, radon, ammonia, nitrogen oxides and VOCs, which affect indoor air quality, and also pointed out the research direction and the high lights in this field in future.
5.Determination of Trace Iron(Ⅲ) in Human Hair by Emulsifying Agent OP-XO Spectrophotometry
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(02):-
Objective To make a method to determine trace iron (FeⅢ)in human hair. Methods Based on the coloured reaction between XO and Fe(Ⅲ)in the medium of HAc-NaAc(pH=3.2)with the presence of OP, FeⅢ was determined by spetrophotometry. Results It was found that when pH=3.2 and in the presence of OP, iron(Ⅲ) reacted with XO to form a stationary complex. The maximum absorption wave of Fe(Ⅲ)-XO was 570 nm, as OP was added, it moved to 590 nm, and the sensitivity was increased obviously when the molar absorptivity of the complex reached 3.67?105 L/(mol?cm) from 3.04?104 L/(mol?cm), the linear range for the content of Fe(Ⅲ)was 0.0~0.8 ?g/ml(0.0~20.0 ?g/25 ml), the regression equation of calibration graph was A=0.00236+0.542c(?g/25 ml)with a correlation coefficient of 0.997 6, detection limit was 6.09?10-6 g/L, RSD=0.97% and rate of recovery was 96%-99%. Conclusion The method can be used for the determination of trace iron(Ⅲ)in human hair samples.
6.Determination of Aluminium(Ⅲ) in Water by Complex Adsorptive Polarogaphy
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(02):-
Objective To set up a method for determination of the trace amounts of aluminium(Ⅲ) in water samples. Methods Second derivative polarogaphy was used. Results In a solution of acetate buffer(HOAc-NH4OH, pH=5.8), Al(Ⅲ)reacted with Berllon Ⅲ to form a complex and a sensitive polarogaphic adsorptive wave appeared at -0.54 V(vs.SCE). By using the 2nd derivative polarogaphy measyrement, the wave height had a linear relationship with the concentration of Al(Ⅲ)in the range of 0.005-0.300 ?g/ml. The limit of detection was 3.0 ng/ml. RSDs were 5.4%-9.1%. Recovery rates were 92.7%-108.0%. Conclusion The present method is sensitive, accurate with high selectivity and can be applied to the determination of the trace amounts of Aluminium(Ⅲ) in water sample with satisfactory results.

Objective To establish a high performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of 6-methyl coumarin in cosmetics. Methods Samples were extracted with ethanol, On C18 column CH3CN-0.02 mol/L NaH2PO4(pH=3.5, 35∶65) was applied as mobile phase, 6-Methyl Coumarin in cosmetics was determined by photo-diode-array(PDA) detector. Results The linear range of the method was 1.0-25.0 mg/L. The lowest detected limit of 6-Methyl Coumarin in 1.0 g samples was 0.000 1%. The recovery rates were 96.6%-99.2%, and the relative standard deviation were 2.0%-4.4%. Conclusion The method was simple, rapid and accurate, which was suitable for determination of 6-methyl coumarin.

Objective To study the effects of acute low temperature and hypoxia on serum SOD and MDA of myocardial ischemia rabbit. Methods 24 rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups, such as normally low tamperature and hypoxia group, myocardial ischemia normal temporature and normal oxygen group and myocardial ischemia low temporature and hypoxia group. Put myocardial ischemia rabbits into the condition in which low temperature(-10?2) ℃ and hypoxia (oxygen content 8.5% ) existed, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were measured after an hour. Results Serum SOD activity were decreased significantly in acute low temperature and hypoxia compared with normal temperature and normal oxygen pressure (P

Objective To investigate the relation between the formaldehyde content of newly decorated houses and the time after decoration finished, which will offer an important reference to housing corporations and household. Methods The formaldehyde contents of newly decorated houses in Maoming were analyzed by colorimetry, Mar-Aug, 2003. Results The formaldehyde content in house A, in which the floor was compound floor boards, was higher than that in house B, in which the floor was wearable bricks. The formaldehyde content was not only related to the time after decoration finished, but also to the air temperature. After decoration finished, it must take half a year that the content of formaldehyde would meet the national standard limit. In consecutive testing, it was found that the content of formaldehyde would increase a little as the air temperature increased. Conclusion It must be attached importance to the formaldehyde content in the house floored with compound boards. It will need 6 months at least that the content of formaldehyde meet the requirement of the national standard after the newly house decoration.
