  • However, prolonged, low-level exposures, such as those that occur in the workplace, can lead to olfactory fatigue and tolerance of chlorine's irritant effects. (cdc.gov)
  • Adults are not immune, with evidence linking lead exposure to kidney problems, high blood pressure and increased risks of cardiovascular deaths. (friendsofwater.com)
  • Effects such as cell damage and DNA mutations may occur and lead to cancer even at low levels of exposure. (epicwaterfilters.com)
  • The National Toxicology Program has found that exposure to lead during childhood , with in even low levels in the blood, is associated with impaired cognitive functioning and academic achievement, as well as increased attention and behavioral issues. (platefulhealth.com)
  • Other studies have also found childhood lead exposure was associated with lower cognitive functioning and socioeconomic status in adulthood. (platefulhealth.com)
  • Environmental Protection Agency, Center for Disease Control and American Academy of Pediatrics all recognize that there is no safe level of lead for children. (hydroviv.com)
  • Exposure to lead is especially dangerous for young and developing children. (terraairpurifiers.com)
  • High-intensity exposures can lead to clinical effects within seconds, minutes, or hours, depending on the actual dose of exposure. (msdmanuals.com)

  • These types of products ensure resistance to chemical damage caused by higher levels of chlorine and chloramine, addressing the uncertainty surrounding future chlorine levels. (garlock.com)

Higher7
  • The levels of endotoxin in the pinning room were found to be much higher than in any other area of the evisceration or dark meat areas. (cdc.gov)
  • In addition, they may be exposed to higher levels than adults in the same location because of their short stature and the higher levels of chlorine found nearer to the ground. (cdc.gov)
  • RESULTS: Children conceived through FET had a lower level of fasting insulin level and HORM-IR and a higher level of fasting glucose and APOE as compared to children naturally conceived. (bvsalud.org)
  • The higher the rate of flow, the faster the linear velocity through the relatively small section of exposure to UV, the lesser the kill. (bio.net)
  • Additionally, its exposure to higher levels is associated with coughing and other respiratory issues. (bestfilterslife.com)
  • These levels are 12.5 times higher than the concentration determined to have a negligible impact on cancer risk . (hydroviv.com)
  • The highest concentration detected in 2017 was 130 parts per billion, which is a whopping 8.6 times higher that the Federal Action Level of 15 parts per billion. (hydroviv.com)
Airways1
  • Reactive airways dysfunctionsyndrome (RADS): persistent asthma syndrome after high level irritantexposure. (journal-jopic.com)
Occupational2
  • 1 Based on this definition, WRA can be further subclassified into two, frequently overlapping, categories: (1) work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) which refers to exacerbation of existing asthma due to workplace exposures, and (2) occupational asthma (OA) which refers to new-onset asthma induced by workplace exposures. (bmj.com)
  • In addition to exposures in occupational settings, clinicians should be aware of the potential for exposure in other settings. (msdmanuals.com)
Prevent3
  • For women with ART conceptions suffering from GHD, it is necessary to avoid PM exposure in late pregnancy to prevent the disease from progressing. (bvsalud.org)
  • This will help alleviate or even possibly prevent chloramine buildup. (tdisdi.com)
  • The HOCl solution is a low concentration (in the parts per million) weakly acidic, very near neutral solution that requires no special transport or storage conditions (other than an opaque storage container to prevent exposure to uv light). (bomaconvention.org)
Nitrates1
  • Small children and animals are most at risk from exposure to nitrates/nitrites. (aquaspace.com)
