Commuter exposure to inhalable, thoracic and alveolic particles in various transportation modes in Delhi

Traffic is the largest contributor (37%) to urban air pollution in India. During commuting, passengers are significantly exposed to pollutants. We carried out a study on a National Highway (NH) in India to measure personal exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) in five travel modes. PM2.5 concentrations showed the following trend: Bus > Car FA (fresh air mode of air condition) > Bus AC > Car > Car RC (re-circulation mode of air condition). Highest and lowest concentrations of PM10 were observed in Bus (134 ± 47 µg m−3) and Car RC (20 ± 5 µg m−3), respectively. The exposures were highest at the rear seats during the Bus AC journeys. In Car FA, the contribution of PM1 to total concentrations was dominant (61%). Travel modes explained highest variabilities in PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 concentrations. In all travel modes, the highest particle counts were observed for PM0.3–0.5. PM>0.5–5.0 counts during Bus journeys were comparatively higher than remaining modes. Deposition doses of passengers were as high as 3.22 µg of PM10 (in Bus), 0.66 µg of PM2.5 (in Bus) and 0.06 µg of PM1 (in Bus AC) during the ~1 h journey. Our study revealed that Car RC is the safest mode of travel, both in terms of personal exposures and PM depositions in respiratory system. The results from this study can be used to target efforts to reduce personal exposure of highway commuters.

Personal exposures to PM during short distance highway travel in India

Pyridin-2-ylmethyl tosylate derivatives are obtained in high yields from 2-alkylpyridine 1-oxides via a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the adduct between 2-alkylpridine 1-oxides with benzenesulfonyl chlorides. Moreover, alkylnitrones also undergo [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give α-tosylated ketones after hydrolysis. Substitution reactions with nucleophiles then lead to diverse useful functionalizations for the synthesis of pincer ligands.

Pantoprazole Derivatives: Synthesis, Urease Inhibition Assay and In Silico Molecular Modeling Studies

Prospects to the formation and control of potential dimer impurity E of pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate.

A cost-effective, scalable, and environmentally benign process is herein reported for the synthesis of pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate: 5-(difluromethoxy)-2-[{(3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl)methyl}sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole sodium sesquihydrate. At least two of the three main synthetic steps (coupling and oxidation) have been carried out for the first time in water, with no need to isolate and purify the intermediates, affording the corresponding pantoprazole sodium in good yield and purity. Minimum organic solvents, in terms of both the number of solvents and the volume of solvent used, are employed to make this process both economical and environment friendly. Furthermore, in situ transformation of pantoprazole sodium heterosolvate, due to the association between molecules of water and solvent used, to pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate is described.

Air quality in urban areas is one of the most significant issues in current environmental research [1] and important pollution indexes for judging air quality is particulate concentration [2]. Shukla et al. [3] reported that air pollution is one of the most challenging problems which our cities face today as atmospheres are getting severly polluted due to discharges of gaseous and particulate matters from various household, industrial and vehicular sources. Many studies have reported significant cardiovascular effects by coarse particles less than PM and fine particles less than 10

Comparisons of particulate matters exposure to commuters in different transportation modes in Delhi

Biorelevant metal ions such as Cu2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ participate in various biological events which include electron transfer reactions, delivery and uptake of oxygen, DNA and RNA syntheses, and enzymatic catalysis to maintain fundamental physiological processes in living organisms. So far, several analytical techniques have been investigated for their precise detection; however, luminescence-based sensing is often superior due to its high sensitivity, selectivity, fast and easy operation and convenient cellular imaging. Owing to their immense photophysical and photochemical properties stemming from large Stokes shift, absorption in visible region, good photostability and long excited state lifetimes, Ru(II)-polypyridyl-based complexes have gained increasing interest as luminophores. Over past few decades, several Ru(II)-polypyridyl based chemosensors have rapidly been developed for detection of different biorelevant and other metal ions. The main object of this book chapter is to cover a majority of Ru(II)-polypyridyl based chemosensors showing a selective and sensitive detection of bio-relevant Cu2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ ions. The photophysical properties of Ru(II) complexes, detection of metal ions, sensing mechanism and applications of these sensors are discussed at a length.
