Chemical contamination. Basics of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

Having received information about the accident and danger chemical contamination, put on personal respiratory protection or basic skin protection - a raincoat, cape, then take cover in the nearest shelter or leave the disaster area. In no case do not take shelter in basements and semi-basements, as well as on the first floors of multi-storey buildings, as toxic substances can accumulate in them.

If protective equipment is not available and there is no shelter nearby, stay at home. Tightly close windows and doors, chimneys, ventilation outlets. Seal the gaps in the windows and the joints of the frames with adhesive plaster or plain paper, curtain the doors with blankets and thick fabrics. Reliable sealing of the dwelling significantly reduces the penetration of toxic substances into the premises.

Leaving, if necessary, your shelter, turn off the sources of heat and electricity, put out the fire in the stove, turn off the gas, take documents and necessary things with you. When going outside, put on a gas mask or cotton-gauze bandage, a raincoat, rubber boots and a hat.

If it was not indicated where to go, or you did not hear this information, then the infection zone should be left in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the wind.

In this case, the following rules must be observed:

use the simplest means of protecting the skin and respiratory organs along the entire path of movement;
move quickly, but don't run or kick up dust;
avoid passing through tunnels, hollows, ravines and other low-lying areas of the terrain - stagnation and accumulation of toxic substances are possible there;
leaving the area of infection, remove outer clothing, rinse eyes and exposed areas of the body with water, rinse your mouth;
if you suspect poisoning with toxic substances, exclude any physical activity, take plenty of fluids and immediately contact a medical professional.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Fluid that saves energy for 20 years 03.11.2018

Swedish scientists have developed a special liquid called solar thermal fuel. Its peculiarity lies in the ability to store the collected solar energy for almost two decades.

The basis of solar fuel, developed by scientists from the Chalmers Institute of Technology (Sweden), are special molecules of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. When these molecules are exposed to sunlight, a reaction occurs: their atomic bonds are rearranged and an isomer is obtained at the output. Strong chemical bonds between isomers capture solar energy and are able to store it even when the temperature of the molecules drops to room temperature (about 21 degrees Celsius). When access to stored energy is required, the liquid is passed through a catalyst, which returns the molecules to their original form. As a result of this process, you receive energy in the form of heat at the output.

The device for collecting renewable energy looks like a concave reflector with a tube in the center, through which the liquid runs. The design resembles a radio dish that monitors the movement of the Sun. The liquid is driven through a transparent tube in the center of the reflector and heated by sunlight, as a result of which the norbornadiene molecules in the liquid are converted into a heat-insulating isomer, quadricyclane. The liquid is then simply stored in some kind of tank at normal temperature with minimal loss of energy.

When the need arises to use this energy, the liquid is driven through a special catalyst that returns the molecules to their original form, which leads to heating of the liquid up to 63 degrees Celsius.

The idea is that this heat can then be used, for example, in heating systems, water heaters, dishwashers, clothes dryers and other types of devices, and then simply returned to the roof to "recharge".

During the tests, the researchers ran the liquid through 125 cycles, first heating it and then cooling it to normal temperature. No significant damage was noted for the molecules contained within it.

According to the developers, through a series of improvements, they managed to ensure that their liquid is now capable of storing the equivalent of 250 Wh / kg, which is almost twice as efficient as the Tesla Powerwall batteries.

The inventors are not going to stop there. According to them, the technology can be improved so that it can produce even more heat - at least 110 degrees Celsius.
