“…As a potential human carcinogen, styrene vapor may be harmful to skin, eyes, and respiratory system. At high levels (10,000 ppm) of styrene vapor, rats and pigs become comatose after several minutes, even died after 30 to 60 min of exposure 58 . Therefore, it is necessary to develop convenient and reliable sensors for the styrene detection.…”

Developing novel lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) to rapidly and reliably differentiate both metal ions in solution and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in vapor is highly challenging. Here, we describe versatile Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ -MOFs based on a flexible ligand. It is noteworthy that the film fabricated using bimetallic Eu 0.47 Tb 0.63 -MOF and polyvinyl alcohol could serve as an easy and convenient luminescent platform for distinguishing different metal ions and VOCs. The luminescent film exhibits notable fingerprint correlation between the metal ions/VOCs and the emission intensity ratio of Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ ions in Ln-MOFs. As a result, the bimetallic Ln-MOFs show fast recognition of Fe 3+ ion with a response time of <10 s, and can effectively probe styrene vapor within 4 min. Since the developed Ln-MOF film is stable and reliable, this work presents a promising strategy to explore luminescent platforms capable of effectively sensing different metal ions and VOCs.

“…Its main applications are related to the production of polystyrene and copolymers (e.g. ABS and SBR rubber) [2], and synthetic composite resins like fiberglass [3][4][5]. Fiberglass is widely used in the ship industry, since its mechanical and chemical properties make it suitable for long term application in highly reactive environments, such as seawater [6].…”

“…Dosimeters for styrene exposure have been reported in literature. Back in 2002, Bearman et al [2] proposed a piezo-optical styrene sensor to be used for dosimetry that employed a modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) layer capable of changing its piezoelectric behaviour upon interaction with styrene under a light source. Recently, Radica et al [25] reported a hybrid organic/inorganic device based on a tetraethylortho-silicate and phenyltriethoxysilane polymer film used to monitor styrene through infrared spectroscopy.…”

Despite the rapid evolution of industrial technologies in the last decades greatly improved many production processes, several industrial sectors still rely heavily on manual labour. Ship building is a possible example, as the fabrication of the hull is still mainly performed by human operators. Styrene, a largely used chemical in many production chains of the polymer industry, is the main component of the fiberglass used for the hulls. In the long term, exposure to styrene is known for its irritating effect, ototoxicity and suspected cancerogenic effects. In this work, we developed a radial colorimetric dosimeter based on nanostructured materials loaded with potassium permanganate and characterized to finely control the reaction kinetics over an eight hours work shift. Colorimetric dosimeters were successfully tested in a real case scenario by comparing their data with those obtained by sampling styrene with passive absorption tubes and analysing their content by thermal desorption/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Measurements of 8-hour time-weighted average NO(2) concentrations are reported at 7 different locations in the region of Dunkirk over 5 consecutive days using PiezOptic monitoring badges previously calibrated for the range 0-70 ppb together with data from chemiluminescent analysers in 5 sites (4 fixed and one mobile). The latter facilities also provided data on ozone and NO concentrations and meteorological conditions. Daily averages from the two pairs of badges in different types of sampling cover in each site have been compared with data from the chemiluminescent analysers, and found largely to agree within error margins of +/-30%. Although NO(2) and ozone concentrations were low, rendering detailed discussion impossible, the general features followed expected patterns.
