  2. 1. Exposure to trichloramine, trihalomethanes and endotoxins : adverse respiratory and ocular effects among Swedish indoor swimming pool workers

    Author : Jessica Westerlund; Pål Graff; Louise Fornander; Håkan Löfstedt; Christer Janson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Trichloramine; trihalomethanes; endotoxins; occupational exposure; ocular health effects; respiratory health effects; swimming pool facilities;

    Abstract : Indoor swimming pool facilities often use chlorine for pool water disinfection. Chlorine can also contribute to the formation of unwanted disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Trichloramine and trihalomethanes (THMs) are DBPs formed in swimming pool water and swimming pool air causing occupational exposure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Occupational exposure to trichloramine and trihalomethanes : adverse respiratory and ocular effects among Swedish indoor swimming pool workers

    Author : Jessica Westerlund; Håkan Westberg; Nils Plato; Sandra Johannesson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Occupational exposure in swimming pool facilities related to disinfection by-products (DBPs) has been an issue for the last 15 years. Trichloramine (NCl3) and trihalomethanes (THMs) are DBPs formed in swimming pool water following a reaction between organic matter containing nitrogen or organic or inorganic matter, and chlorine.

  5. 3. The open absorption system : energy savings in different applications

    Author : Lars Johansson; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : The open absorption system is a technique that makes it possible to recover energy in different processes using moist air. In most applications the latent heat in moist air is difficult to recover because of the low temperature. Processes using outdoor air to carry away moisture therefore have high energy demands.

  6. 4. Severe hypoxemia during apnea in humans : influence of cardiovascular responses

    Author : Peter Lindholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Diving response; breath holding; bradycardia; vasoconstriction; hypoxia;

    Abstract : When a diving human holds his or her breath, the heart beat slows and the blood vessels constrict in large portions of the body. In diving mammals such as seals, similar responses effectively conserve oxygen for the brain, enabling them to dive very deep and to stay underwater for a long time. READ MORE

  7. 5. Upper Airway Mucosal Inflammation : Proteomic Studies after Exposure to Irritants and Microbial Agents

    Author : Louise Fornander; Mats Lindahl; Bijar Ghafouri; Pål Graff; Magnus Svartengren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : People are, in their daily lives, exposed to a number of airborne foreign compounds that do not normally affect the body. However, depending on the nature of these compounds, dose and duration of exposure, various airway symptoms may arise. READ MORE
