The present work is part of a series of papers (1-3) dealing with the breakdown of pesticides into different chemical species upon heating in the presence of oxygen. Heating up of pesticides in the presence of oxygen occurs when cooking poisoned...

The paper addresses thermal decomposition under oxidative conditions of two largely used fungicides, belonging to the family of benzimidazolylcarbamates, namely Benomyl (methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate) and Carbendazim (methyl...

The work is part of a series of papers on thermal degradation under oxidative conditions of different types of pesticides (1-3). In the present paper a set of six synthetic pyrethroids has been investigated as regards their degradation pattern and...

The work is part of a series of papers on thermal degradation of different types of pesticides, including oxime carbamates (1), pyrethroids (2), benzimidazolyl carbamates (3). The paper addresses thermal decomposition under oxidative conditions of...

The production of cigarettes, according to different markets, is composed by few brands with large production volumes and many different brands with reduced production volumes. The first brand accepts specialized machines while the second ones ask...

There is worldwide agreement on the necessity to introduce electronic facilities into tobacco machinery to improve the efficiency of control, to have a better MTBF (mean time before failure), and to permit greater, flexibility of operation. This...

At present, ventilation is measured in two different ways : Either"on-line"by analog gauges or"on-line"by sampling, with digital gauges. This paper describes the research done in developing an automatic digital system for...

These reflexions are based on recent studies concerning industrial diseases caused by noise. All welfare and health control associations are more and more concerned about this problem, as diseases caused by noise are not only irreversible but still...
