The manifestations of exposure to health hazards during the production process often occurs at a low level and the effects of the toxins may take decades to surface. Use of toxic materials such as arsine, phosphine and others potentially expose workers to health hazards which include cancer, miscarriages and birth defects.
The health effects of e-cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are generally claimed to be less harmful than those of smoking, but worse than not smoking at all. However, health effects are a function of inhaled materials, of associated behavior changes (notably traditional cigarette smoking), of how and how often the products are used, over what period ...
Oxidative stress mechanisms in tissue injury. Free radical toxicity induced by xenobiotics and the subsequent detoxification by cellular enzymes (termination).. Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.

Laser marking of plastic-encapsulated packages may damage the chip if glass spheres in the packaging line up and direct the laser to the chip. [3] Examples of semiconductor failures relating to semiconductor crystals include: Nucleation and growth of dislocations. This requires an existing defect in the crystal, as is done by radiation, and is ...
The antennas contained in mobile phones, including smartphones, emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation (non-ionizing "radio waves" such as microwaves); the parts of the head or body nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy and convert it to heat or to synchronised molecular vibrations (the term 'heat', properly applies only to disordered molecular motion).
The EU may place restrictions on imports of so-called legacy chips from China, but ASML, Europe's biggest tech firm, warns of negative consequences. China’s production of boring chips is getting ...
Whole-body vibration is one of the most common causes of lost time and production output and causes low back pain and injury due to higher than expected levels of vibration. [43] Whole-body vibration injuries associated with off-road vehicles in industries such as agriculture, forestry , mining , quarrying and with small-fast boats used off-shore.
Excessive exposure to oxygen can lead to oxygen toxicity, also known as oxygen toxicity syndrome, oxygen intoxication, and oxygen poisoning.There are two main ways in which oxygen toxicity can occur: exposure to significantly elevated partial pressures of oxygen for a short period of time (acute oxygen toxicity), or exposure to more modest elevations in oxygen partial pressures but for a ...
