Physical and chemical characteristics of particles from rubber-wood combustion in a natural rubber sheet smoking process were studied. Experimental parameters include wood moisture content and wood-burning period. The size distribution of smoke particles was measured by using an 8-stage Andersen air sampler. Total smoke particle concentration was determined by collecting particles using a modified high volume sampler. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were extracted with Benzene-Ethanol by using ultrasonic technique and analyzed by HPLC/UV detection. Results show that the size distribution of smoke particles is single-mode in which the mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) is 0.68 μm and the average smoke concentration is 15.806 mg/m 3 . This is equivalent to a mass emission to workplace of 4.33 kg/month/room. The smoke particle concentration and associated PAH concentration clearly depend on the wood moisture content and burning period. The highest PAH concentration and smoke particle concentrations were found to be 60.59 to 118.06 μg/m 3 and 23.35 to 47.54 mg/m 3 , respectively, for a wood moisture content of 37.4 to 73.6% d.b. (dry basis) at the initial period. Smoke particle-bound PAHs are dominated by 4-6 ring PAH compounds that contribute to more than 60% of the total PAHs.

“…Considering the high number of celiac, these information are urgently required so that the daily dietary element intakes in the celiac population can be estimated from available food consumption data. While element intake levels for non-celiac people are documented [12][13][14][15] there is as yet no information available for celiac ones. Also, this study wants to investigate if any toxic elements could be found in the gluten-free foods and the daily intake from diets composed according to reference intake levels.…”

This paper is the first analytical approach to the study of twenty heavy metals in the gluten-free foods for celiac people. Only the ICP-MS technique was used. One of the advantages about the use of ICP-MS for this characterization is the high sensitivity that improved the limits of quantification levels for some elements that are present at low quantities in some samples.The concentration values of As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, V and Zn in seventeen glutenfree food samples are reported. The highest arsenic and molybdenum levels were measured in Rice noodle from China (0.088 and 0.47 mg kg −1 , respectively). The highest concentrations of some metals (Cu, Ba, Cd, Pb, Hg, Sr and V) were found in bread and breadstick samples produced in different bakeries located at Palermo. To examine the overall heavy metal concentrations in all gluten-free samples analyzed, metal pollution index (MPI) was calculated. Gluten-free foods analyzed contain levels of trace elements under the limits tolerated by the law. Considering the average concentrations of some trace elements found in the present study, it can be concluded that they are inadequate if compared with the recommended daily intake by international organisms, providing from 1.1 to 53% of the RDI for the essential metals. These conclusions are in good agreement to some authors affirming that commercial gluten-free cereal foods, made of refined flours or starches, are of lower nutritional value compared to their wheat counterparts. The metal pollution index and health risk index of heavy metals also suggest that Cd, Pb and Ni contamination in most of the test gluten-free food had potential for human health risk due to consumption of food at contaminated not industrial laboratory. Considering our data, health risk index was lower than 1 for all the samples except nickel in a sample of pasta.
