EYE IRRITATION TESTS OF POLYHEXAMETHYLENE GUANIDINE PHOSPHATE (PHMG) AND CHLOROMETHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE/METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE (CMIT/MIT) USING A TISSUE MODEL OF RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN CORNEA-LIKE EPITHELIUM

Eye irritation tests of polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG) and chloromethylisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT) using a tissue model of reconstructed human cornea-like epithelium

Disinfectants including polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG) and mixtures of chloromethylisothiazolinone/ methylisothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT) have been widely used in Korea to prevent microbial growth in the humidifier water, which triggered an outbreak of serious respiratory diseases.In addition to the respiratory syndrome, disease-related sy

Spatial modeling of personalized exposure dynamics: the case of pesticide use in small-scale agricultural production landscapes of the developing world

Abstract Background Pesticide poisoning is a global health issue with the largest impacts in the developing countries where residential and small-scale agricultural areas are often integrated and pesticides sprayed manually.To reduce health risks from pesticide exposure approaches for personalized exposure assessment (PEA) are needed.We present a c
