Molds and mycotoxins in indoor environments--a survey in water-damaged buildings.
30 Oct 2009 
Mycotoxins are toxic, secondary metabolites frequently produced by molds in water-damaged indoor environments. We studied the prevalence of selected, potent mycotoxins and levels of fungal biomass in samples collected from water-damaged indoor ... Read more...
Model for cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of clinker production.
29 Sep 2009 A model for input- and technology-dependent cradle-to-gate life cycle assessments (LCA)was constructed to quantify emissions and resource consumption of various clinker production options. The model was compiled using data of more than 100 clinker ... Read more...
29 Sep 2009 In this paper the effective dose in the age-dependent ORNL phantoms series, due to naturally occurring radionuclides in building materials, was calculated. The absorbed doses for various organs or human tissues have been calculated. The MCNP-4B ... Read more...
