Changes in chemical permeation of disposable latex, nitrile and vinyl gloves exposed to simulated movement
(Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2014)Glove movement can affect chemical permeation of organic compounds through polymer glove products. However, conflicting reports make it difficult to compare the effects of movement on chemical permeation through commonly ... -
Chemical Resistance of disposable nitrile gloves exposed to simulated movement
(Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2012)Large discrepancies between laboratory permeation testing and field exposures have been reported, with indications that hand movement could account for a portion of these differences. This study evaluated the influence of ... -
Evaluating polymer degradation with complex mixtures using a simplified surface area method
(Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2017)Chemical-resistant gloves, designed to protect workers from chemical hazards, are made from a variety of polymer materials such as plastic, rubber, and synthetic rubber. One material does not provide protection against all ... -
Evaluation of coarse and fine particulate sources using a portable aerosol monitor in a desert community
(Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2012)The purpose of this study was to use a portable aerosol monitor as a preliminary screening tool to identify local sources of coarse (PM10–2.5) and fine (PM2.5) particulate matter within the Coachella Valley, a low-elevation ... -
Introduction to Air Pollution Science: A Public Health Perspective
(Jones and Bartlett and American Public Health Association Press, 2011-11-10)This unique textbook examines the basic health and environmental issues associated with air pollution including the relevant toxicology and epidemiology. It provides a foundation for the sampling and analysis of air ... -
Polymer Properties Associated with Chemical Permeation Performance of Disposable Nitrile Rubber Gloves
(Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2015)Unlike other chemical protective clothing and devices, disposable gloves are not reliably certified to exceed chemical permeation performance standards. In light of generalized chemical compatibility charts, significant ... -
Revising the formulization of the Narayanaswamy equation using the Adam-Gibbs theory
(Journal of Non-Crystalline Polymers, 2016)Hodge's formulization of the Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) equation from the Adam-Gibbs (AG) theory was re-evaluated. The non-linearity parameter (x) and the apparent activation energy (Δh*) of the TMN equation were ... -
Study of highly porous polymers for H2 fuel storage using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy
(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2015)Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) was applied to study the porosity of four highly porous polymers: Amberlite XAD 4, Amberlite XAD 16, Haysep S and Hypersol-Macronet MN 200, all of which have been evaluated ... -
Study of the Mechanism on the Permeation of Ethanol in Nitrile Rubber Gloves Using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy
(Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2015)Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) was applied to study the mechanism of ethanol diffusion through commercial nitrile rubber gloves. Even though the untreated raw samples were very different in their colors ... -
Tensile Properties and Integrity of Cleanroom and Low-modulus Disposable Nitrile Gloves: A Comparison of Two Dissimilar Glove Types
(Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2012)Background: The selection of disposable nitrile exam gloves is complicated by (i) the availability of several types or formulations, (ii) product variability, and (iii) an inability of common quality control tests to ...
