Dental aerosol from a dental hand piece. A dental aerosol is an aerosol that is produced from dental instrument, dental handpieces, three-way syringes, and other high-speed instruments. These aerosols may remain suspended in the clinical environment. [1] Dental aerosols can pose risks to the clinician, staff, and other patients.
Dioctyl sebacate (also di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, commonly abbreviated as DOS, DEHS, and BEHS) is an organic compound which is the diester of sebacic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. It is an oily colorless liquid and is used as a plasticizer , including in the explosive C4 . [ 1 ]
In medicine, a nebulizer (American English) [1] or nebuliser (British English) [2] is a drug delivery device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs. Nebulizers are commonly used for the treatment of asthma , cystic fibrosis , COPD and other respiratory diseases or disorders.
The aerosol spray canister invented by USDA researchers, Lyle Goodhue and William Sullivan. The concepts of aerosol probably go as far back as 1790. [1] The first aerosol spray can patent was granted in Oslo in 1927 to Erik Rotheim, a Norwegian chemical engineer, [1] [2] and a United States patent was granted for the invention in 1931. [3]
For example, Pardon et al. [16] show sampling of aerosols down to a microfluidic air-liquid interface, and Ladhani et al., [17] show sampling of airborne Influenza down to a small liquid droplet. The use of low-volume liquids is ideal for minimising sample dilution, and has the potential to be couple to lab-on-chip technologies for rapid point ...
A heated tobacco product (HTP) [note 1] is a tobacco product that heats the tobacco at a lower temperature than conventional cigarettes. [32] These products contain nicotine, which is a highly addictive chemical. [32] The heat generates an aerosol or smoke to be inhaled from the tobacco, which contains nicotine [33] and other chemicals.
As of 2021, state-of-the-art CMIP6 models estimate that total cooling from the currently present aerosols is between 0.1 °C (0.18 °F) to 0.7 °C (1.3 °F); [131] the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report uses the best estimate of 0.5 °C (0.90 °F), [132] with the uncertainty mainly caused by contradictory research on the impacts of aerosols of clouds.
Inhalant users inhale vapors or aerosol propellant gases using plastic bags held over the mouth or by breathing from an open container of solvents, such as gasoline or paint thinner. Nitrous oxide gases from whipped cream aerosol cans, aerosol hairspray or non-stick frying spray are sprayed into plastic bags.
