Study of Respiratory Symptoms and Pulmonary Function among Neem Oil Industry Workers.

This study aims to investigate the pulmonary functions and respiratory symptoms of workers in the neem oil extraction industry in Tamil Nadu, India, who are exposed to neem oil dust and chemicalsin their occupational environment. Fifty male workers from the exposed group and 50 male workers from the non-exposed group to neem dust and chemicals were investigated for this study. A modified respiratory assessment questionnaire based on the American Thoracic Society (ATS) standard and portable hand-held spirometry were used to assess their respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function.

Assessment of pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms among INDIAN textile sizing mill workers.

Background: Textile-sizing mill workers are exposed to various hazards in the sizing units during their working hours and are at risk of acquiring lung impairments due to the usage of sizing chemicals in the sizing process.

Objective: The main aim of this study is to assess the influence of cotton dust and sizing agents on lung function and breathing difficulties among Indian textile sizing mill workers.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at a textile-sizing mill from August 2022 to September 2022.

Experimental analysis and parameter optimization on the reduction of NOx from diesel engine using RSM and ANN Model.

The major emission sources of NO are from automobiles, trucks, and various non-road vehicles, power plants, coal fired boilers, cement kilns, turbines, etc. Plasma reactor technology is widely used in gas conversion applications, such as NOx conversion into useful chemical by-product. Among the plasma treatment techniques, nonthermal plasma (NTP) is widely used because it does not cause any damage to the surfaces of the reacting chamber.
