Article Synopsis
- - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic chemicals that occur naturally, with acenaphthene and naphthalene being common environmental compounds requiring effective detection methods for monitoring water quality.
- - This study developed a colorimetric detection method using sodium nitrite-functionalized gold nanoparticles, showing a linear detection range for both PAHs between 0.1-10 ppm and very low limits of detection (0.046 ppm for acenaphthene and 0.0015 ppm for naphthalene).
- - The method demonstrated high recovery rates (98.4-103.0%) for real water samples and showed minimal interference from other cations and anions, indicating its effectiveness for monitoring PA
Background: An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is defined by World Health Organization (WHO) as 'Any response to a drug which is noxious, unintended and occurs at doses used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy'. ADRs associated with cancer chemotherapy warrant analysis on their severity and preventability. The outcome would create awareness among health care providers and prevent their recurrence.
