Contaminable

  • (4) External exposures to a contaminated fishing net and fishing boat are considered pathways for fishermen.
  • (5) Comprehensive regulations are being developed to limit human exposure to contamination in drinking water by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
  • (6) In South Africa, health risks associated with exposure to toxic waste sites need to be viewed in the context of current community health concerns, competing causes of disease and ill-health, and the relative lack of knowledge about environmental contamination and associated health effects.
  • (7) The inhibitory effect was not due to contaminating rT3 in the liver homogenates.
  • (8) With an increased quantity o blood per taking by blood bactericidia a decreased contamination rate is to be expected.
  • (9) The behaviour of the enzyme from Candida utilis and from Baker's yeast on columns of these and of Blue Sepharose CL-6B was examined, together with the behaviour of the contaminating enzyme, ribulose 5-phosphate 3-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.1).
  • (10) The mining activity does not seem to have contaminated drinking water significantly.
  • (11) Furthermore, Methylene Blue contamination of the standard stain increased the rate of error in image analysis of white blood cell nuclei due to variations of staining intensity.

  • (13) Whereas the untreated Rhodobacter growth medium was contaminated with 1.2 ppb Mo, as analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), the activated carbon-treated medium was below the ICP-MS detection limit (less than 0.05 ppb).
  • (14) Released aggregates of the 19.6-kDa protein were removed from suspension by ultracentrifugation and separated from contaminating membranes by washing in 1.0% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).
  • (15) The effect was shown to be due to caldesmon and not to a trace contaminant by its full reversibility after addition of a monospecific caldesmon antibody.
  • (16) On day 7, washes were collected as on day 0, and a collar was attached to the neck to prevent contamination from saliva.
  • (17) The continued expression was not due to the presence of antigen or of contaminating lymphocytes.

  • (20) The differences in the microbial contamination of air between the two buildings was the result of reconstructions concerning the ventilation system as well as of making it more effective.
