Characterisation of airborne dust in South African underground and opencast coal mines : a pilot study
(2015)Dust is a well-known occupational hygiene challenge and has been throughout the years, especially in the coal mining industry. The hazards arising from coal dust will differ between geographical areas due to the unique ... -
Hemocompatibility of N–trimethyl chitosan chloride nanoparticles
(2014)Research on nanoparticles for pharmaceutical applications has become increasingly popular in recent years. N-trimethyl chitosan chloride (TMC) is a cationic polymer that can enhance absorption across mucosal surfaces. It ... -
Particle size and metal composition of gouging and lancing fumes
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Background: Gouging (used for preparation of the weld groove) and lancing (severs or removes metal) processes during mining maintenance operations liberate fumes of unknown particle sizes and metal composition. These fumes ... -
Selected radiotracers as imaging tools for the investigation of nano-sized delivery systems
(2014)Developing nanoparticulate delivery systems that will allow easy movement and localisation of a drug to the target tissue and provide more controlled release of the drug in vivo is a challenge for researchers in nanomedicine. ...
