Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Indoor Air Quality in Chemical Laboratories(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Ugranlı, Tuğba; Güngörmüş, Elif; Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Sofuoğlu, Sait CemilChemical laboratories are special microenvironments, in which many pollutants may be found because of the large range and number of chemicals that can be used, while concentrations of some specific ones may relatively be elevated due to high source strengths depending on the type and the number of experiments conducted and the number of people working in the laboratory. Laboratories can be considered as public places for the students whereas they are occupational microenvironments for their staff (technicians, specialists and teaching/research assistants). Hence, laboratory indoor air quality (IAQ) is of importance due to chronic, toxic and carcinogenic health risks for the staff in addition to possible acute effects for both staff and students. This chapter presents background information regarding pertinent indoor air pollutants, factors that determine their concentrations, indoor environmental comfort, a review of the literature on indoor environmental quality in chemical laboratories and measures of IAQ management.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Characterization of Polysulfone Based Hemodialysis Membranes by Afm(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Uz, Metin; Yaşar Mahlıçlı, Filiz; Polat, Mehmet; Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideMost of the hemodialysis membrane materials are hydrophobic in nature and allow protein adsorption on the surface easily due to hydrophobic interaction between membrane surface and protein molecules when in contact with blood. Adsorbed proteins can affect platelet and leukocyte adhesion, and modulate the response of plasmatic reactions followed by the activation of different defense systems in blood (Sun et al. 2003).
