## Abstract The response of biofilters to varying periods of starvation and to changes in inlet concentrations of a mixture of toluene and xylene have been tested in laboratory‐scale biofilters packed with a mixture of Perlite and compost. These results have been mathematically modelled taking the

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Two peat biofilters were used for the removal of toluene from air for one year. One biofilter was fed with pure toluene and the other received 1:1 (by weight) ethyl acetate:toluene mixture. **RESULTS:** The biofilters were operated under continuous loading: the toluene
## Abstract Rats were exposed to 300 ppm __m__‐xylene vapour for 1 or 2 weeks, 6 h daily, 5 days a week. One group was simultaneously given disulfiram in the drinking water (53 μmol kg^−1^, daily). The disulfiram treatment inhibited propionaldehyde dehydrogenase; such inhibition did not occur when
This paper describes the results of a unique "natural experiment" of the operation and cessation of a broadcast transmitter with its short-wave electromagnetic fields (6-22 MHz) on sleep quality and melatonin cycle in a general human population sample. In 1998, 54 volunteers (21 men, 33 women) were
