Abstract

The electronic automatic telegraph stations are up-to-date telecommunicative equipment. There is no information in literature for hygiene characteristic of the working conditions in this type of modern industrial activity. The study shows, that the basic hygiene problems are related to the microclimate and ionization of the air of the working premises. The climatic installation creates extremely static microclimate during all the periods of the year and systematic aero-ionic insufficiency of the air. Possibilities for regulating the climatic installation regime are discussed in view of establishing physiologically sound and well-grounded microclimate and aero-ionic conditions.

Hospital-acquired legionnaires disease in a university hospital: impact of the copper-silver ionization system.

We evaluated the impact of the copper-silver ionization system in a hospital where hyperendemic nosocomial legionellosis and was present and all previous disinfection measures had failed. After implementation of the copper-silver ionization system, environmental colonization with Legionella species decreased significantly, and the incidence of nosocomial legionellosis decreased dramatically, from 2.45 to 0.18 cases per 1000 patient discharges.

Decrease in the allergenicity of Japanese cedar pollen allergen by treatment with positive and negative cluster ions.

BACKGROUND: Japanese cedar pollinosis is a severe allergic disease in Japan. The most effective means of decreasing allergic inflammation reactions is still avoidance of the aeroallergen. Recently, a novel air purification system using positively and negatively charged cluster ions was developed to create comfortable living environments. We aimed to assess the ability of existing technology to lower allergenicity of Japanese cedar pollen. METHODS: A Japanese cedar pollen extract was nebulized from the top of a cylindrical container with 2 or 4 ion-generating devices. The extract in a mist was passed through the space filled with or without plasma cluster ions for 90 s, and the ion-treated or nontreated extract was then collected in a Petri dish at the bottom of the container. RESULTS: The ion-exposed extract was significantly diminished in its reactivities to anti-Cry j 1 or anti-Cry j 2 antiserum and to human allergic sera IgE on ELISA. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that ion exposure induced protein degradation in the pollen extract. Similarly, the ion treatment impaired about 80% of the binding to pooled sera IgE from patients allergic to Japanese cedar pollen on ELISA inhibition. Furthermore, intracutaneous and conjunctival reaction tests showed a remarkable diminution in the allergenicity of the ion-irradiated extract. CONCLUSION: Ion irradiation resulted in a remarkable decrease in in vitro and in vivo allergenicities of atomized Japanese cedar pollen extracts.
