Primary and secondary sludge treatment using ionizing radiation technology in Alexandria, Egypt.

Improving the treatment efficiency of sludge in Alexandria, Egypt, was studied to improve the primary and secondary sludge treatment efficiency, different doses ranging from 0.25 to 6 kGy of ionizing radiation were proposed and evaluated. The scope of This study is to assess the radiation-based treatment efficiency from physical, chemical, and biological perspectives and to compare between the conventional treatment method and the radiation-based treatment technology.

Exposure to Radiation During Work Shifts and Working at Night Act as Occupational Stressors Alter Redox and Inflammatory Markers.

Background: Studies of breast cancer etiology suggest evidence that night shift working and occupational exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) are defined risk factors for breast cancer development. There are few studies to clarify neuroendocrine and inflammatory status and the possible consequences particularly in occupational exposure.

Aim Of The Study: Our aim was to associate the redox and inflammatory biomarkers with either nightshift working or occupational radiation exposure, and to compare their levels between the two groups at Alexandria University Hospitals, Alexandria, Egypt.
