Laboratorium merupakan tempat kerja untuk melakukan percobaan atau eksperimen uji dimana bekerja di tempat tersebut membutuhkan perilaku kehati-hatian dalam menggunakan peralatan dan bahan. Salah satu jenis bahan kimia yang terdapat di laboratorium adalah pelarut organik yang memiliki fungsi sebagai pelarut bahan kimia lainnya. Potensi risiko kanker payudara pada pekerja wanita di laboratorium pada studi kohort ini adalah paparan pelarut organik. Pelarut organik yang sering digunakan di laboratorium adalah benzene, toluene dan xylene (BTX). Dengan adanya pajanan bahan kimia BTX di tempat kerja dan risiko kesehatan yang ditimbulkan, maka perlu dilakukan penilaian tingkat risiko pajanan bahan kimia terhadap kesehatan pekerja di laboratorium melalui inhalasi secara kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode CHRA DOSH Malaysia tahun 2018. Penelitian dimulai dengan pengambilan sampel inhalasi dan udara di lingkungan kerja. Data hasil sampling diolah untuk mengetahui Tingkat Bahaya (Hazard Rating), Tingkat Pajanan (Exposure Rating), dan Tingkat Risiko (Risk Rating) secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Tingkat risiko pajanan melalui inhalasi secara kualitatif diperoleh nilai tingkat risiko pajanan (RR) benzene, toluene dan xylene secara bertutut-turut RR= 20, 12, dan 8. Tingkat risiko pajanan melalui inhalasi untuk benzene memiliki risiko tinggi sedangkan toluene dan xylene memiliki risiko moderat. Tingkat risiko pajanan melalui inhalasi secara kuantitatif dengan metode CHRA. nilai tingkat risiko pajanan (RR) benzene, toluene dan xylene secara kuantitatif secara berturut-turut adalah RR= 5, 3, dan 2. Berdasarkan metode kuantitatif, nilai tingkat risiko pajanan melalui inhalasi untuk benzene memiliki risiko moderat sedangkan toluene dan xylene memiliki risiko rendah terhadap pekerja di laboratorium pengujian migas PT SCI

Abstract. The paper deals with the assessment of the rockfall risk for a road stretch, in southern Italy, affected by high traffic intensity. Three qualitative rockfall risk rating systems (QRSs) which use an exponential scoring with a base of 3 were employed, and then the results were compared. The used methods are the following: the Rockfall Hazard Rating System, a modified version of this method already proposed in the past by one of the authors, and the modified version of the Colorado Rockfall Hazard Rating System. The studied road stretch is about 11 km in length and is part of a very tortuous road flanked by rock slopes characterised by complex geostructural and geomechanical layouts. The road was subdivided into 56 sections, defined so as to have – as much as possible – homogeneous geological characteristics. By means of the three QRSs, it was possible to ascertain that high levels of rockfall risks are due to the lack of ditches, a very limited percentage of decision sight distance (PDSD) values and a small roadway width, whereas a subordinate factor is the hazard caused by rockfalls. Several positive and negative aspects arising from the use of the employed methods are highlighted and discussed.

This paper objectives are to; (i) identification of risky slopes (within 4 Provinces in Sumatra including Provinces of Riau, West Sumatra, Jambi and South Sumatra encompassing 840 kms of the “Jalan Lintas Sumatra” highway) based on Rockfall Hazard Rating Systems (RHRS) method; (ii) developing alternatives to stabilize slope hazards, and (iii) selecting appropriate slopes stabilization techniques based on both proactive approach and value engineering one. Based on the Rockfall Hazard Rating Systems (RHRS) method, it was identified 109 steep slopes prone to failure within this highway section. Approximately, 15 slopes were identified as potential high-risk slopes (RHRS scores were calculated >200 points). Based on the proactive approach, seven riskiest slopes ware identified. The preferred stabilization alternatives to remedy most of these slopes are suggested as follow; either (i) a combination of retaining wall and drainage, or (ii) gabion structure and drainage. However, different approaches may yield different results, there are at least 2 main consideration in prioritizing slope stabilization; (i) based on the riskiest slopes, and(ii) the least expensive stabilization alternatives.

The conversion of n-heptanes into aromatic hydrocarbons benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX), by the chromatographic pulse method in the temperature range of 673 - 823K was performed over the HZSM-5 and Ag-HZSM-5 zeolites modified by ion exchange with AgNO3 aqueous solutions. The catalysts, HZSM-5 (SiO2/Al2O3 = 33.9), and Ag-HZSM-5 (Ag1-HZSM-5 wt. % Ag1.02, Ag2-HZSM-5 wt. % Ag 1.62; and Ag3-HZSM-5 wt. % Ag 2.05 having different acid strength distribution exhibit a conversion and a yield of aromatics depending on temperature and metal content. The yield of aromatic hydrocarbons BTX appreciably increased by incorporating silver cations Ag+ into HZSM-5.

The addition of powdered activated carbon (PAC) to activated sludge treatment systems to enhance removal of specific toxic organic compounds from wastewater was evaluated. Nine organic compounds encompassing a range of solubility, volatility, biodegradability, and adsorptive properties were studied. Kate and equilibrium investigations were conducted to quantify the removal mechanisms of volatilization, biodegradation, biosorption, and carbon adsorption. Results from steady-state bioreactor studies showed that the addition of less than 100 mg/ℓ powdered activated carbon to the influent did not enhance the removal of the biodegradable target compounds investigated: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, chlorobenzene, and nitrobenzene. Significantly improved removals of the poorly degradable and non-biodegradable compounds 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, and lindane occurred at influent powdered carbon concentrations in the 12.5 to 25 mg/ℓ range. Influent powdered carbon concentrations of 100 mg/ℓ effected overall removals of greater than 90%. The addition of powdered activated carbon not only reduced effluent concentrations but also reduced the amounts of the volatile compounds stripped to the atmosphere.

Liquid-liquid equilibria were determined in the following binary systems: 1,2-ethandiol/toluene, 1,2-ethandiol/xylene, 1,2-propandiol/toluene, 1,2-propandiol/xylene, 1,4-butandiol/toluene, 1,4-butandiol/xylene, 1,3-butandiol/toluene, 1,3-butandiol/xylene, 1,3-butandiol/p-xylene, 2,2'-dioxydiethanol/toluene, 2,2'-dioxydiethanol/xylene. The solubility of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propandiol in benzene, toluene and xylene was also measured. Critical solubility temperatures at atmospheric pressure were determined for systems containing 1,2-propandiol and 1,3-butandiol.

The arene ligand exchange mechanism of slipped arene triple deckers [Bis{(η5-CpR)Co}-μ-{η4:η4-arene}] (R = Me5, 1,2,4 tri-tert butyl, arene = benzene, toluene) 1 was studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopy for different concentrations and solvents. It has been found that triple deckers of type 1 decompose slowly in solution. A unique equilibrium, between these triple deckers and the mixed sandwich complexes [(η6-arene)Co(η5-CpR)] and 14 e [(η5-Cp)Co]solv fragments generated in situ by decomposition o f 1 exists. In addition to this equilibrium arene lability of the thus formed mixed sandwich complex type has been detected by NMR making slipped triple deckers 1 ideal single source compounds for the generation of two [(η5-Cp)Co] fragments in one reaction step. Such fragments are valuable metal ligand components with high synthetic utility in organometallic chemistry.

AbstractCarbon black-filled polymer composites were investigated as sensing materials for organic liquids. Polypropylene and polystyrene which were selected as matrices and various amounts of carbon black were considered as the main factors influencing sensitivity of the composites in view of the percolation theory. Disposable filaments were produced of these materials. Change in their electrical resistivity was measured upon immersion in benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and their mixtures. It has been found that studied materials were sensitive to the composition of liquid mixtures of organic solvent. Relationships between the filament response and volumetric fraction of the components were presented. The studied materials have shown promising sensing properties, which suggest their applicability for identification and quantification of multicomponent organic liquids.
