Analysis of volatile organic compounds released from the decay of surrogate human models simulating victims of collapsed buildings by thermal desorption-comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry
(2015)
Field experiments were devised to mimic the entrapment conditions under the rubble of collapsed buildings aiming to investigate the evolution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the early dead body decomposition ...
Trace detection of endogenous human volatile organic compounds for search, rescue and emergency applications
(2015)
Since Pauling's paper in the 1970s, interest has increased in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from different bio-fluids, such as blood and urine. A number of VOCs reflect internal biochemical pathways occurring ...
Physiology and biochemistry of human subjects during entrapment
(2013)
A classification of various categories of entrapped people under the ruins of collapsed buildings after earthquakes, technical failures or explosions is proposed. Type and degree of injury at the moment of building collapse ...
Volatile emissions during storing of green food waste under different aeration conditions
(2016)
Controlled field experiments were carried out for monitoring the emissions of three plastic commercial household waste bins, which were adapted for studying the effect of aeration process in the evolved volatiles, during ...
Breath and sweat analysis as a tool for medical diagnostics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
A wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is continuously produced in the human body and released through breath and sweat, thereby revealing important medical information. The variety of the analytical ...
A comparative study on phyllosilicate and tectosilicate mineral structural properties
(2018)
Natural minerals are widely used in numerous environmental applications, mainly as sorbents in ion exchange and sorption processes. Minerals, such as zeolites and clays, can be found all over the world, but they are mined ...
Correlating carob pods (Ceratonia Siliqua L.) aroma profile with geographical origin
