Low-pressure carburizing is a heat treatment process used to harden surface steel by enriching the metal with carbon atoms coming from pyrolysis of hydrocarbons. Unfortunately, at the same time, other species, considered to be proved to be carcinogenic…

Hydrocarbon pyrolysis in low-pressure gas carburizing conditions drives to gas phase reactions which lead to the production of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). These PAHs are afterwards responsible for soot formation. The aim of the…

Polycyclic Aromatic Hyrocarbons (PAHs) are chemical compounds that are sometimes highly toxic, or indeed that are considered by some to be proved carcinogens. A variety of sectors of activity cause PAH emissions: incineration, pyrolysis, diesel…

The hydrocarbon pyrolysis is widely used in many engineering applications like synthesis of carbon nanotubes in a chemical vapour deposition, pyrocarbon by depositing on carbon fibers and vacuum gas carburizing of steel. However, during these…

Introduction: Low-pressure carburising is a new technology used to harden steel; the process has been shown to be a source of considerable PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) pollution. Some PAH are carcinogenic, and activities such as furnace…

Determining the intensity of the absorption flux of industrial toxic substances is necessary to define the risk related to exposure via the skin. Structure-activity relationships make it possible to estimate the absorption flux of numerous…

For testing skin absorption of chemical substances, OECD Test Guideline 428 (OECD, 2004)1 provides some recommendations as to how substances should be prepared:
“The test substance preparation (e.g., neat, diluted or formulated material containing…
