If you're interested in this sort of thing, check out Nate Lewis at Caltech. He makes electronic noses (and I believe he actually was the first to do so). He showed a video at a talk one time that showed robots with these noses that were able to respond to "smells". ________________________________ From: DCHAS-L Discussion List on behalf of Andrew Gross Sent: Wed 4/21/2010 9:51 PM To: DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**LIST.UVM.EDU Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Interesting Article For Contaminant Detection Hi Everyone! Sensors and biosensors have been a personal interest of mine for a long time. Their application to defense is obvious, however it is not hard to see the expanded roles they will play in EHS. That being said, I found this article on CNN, it doesn't say much as far as scientific knowledge (almost laughable actually) but I thought that many of you would take interest in this type of research considering how it can be applied. I don't know much about this specific sensor, but if anyone is interested in opening a discussion, you can consider me an informed enthusiast willing to share what I know. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/21/security-brief-cellphones-to-smell-b iochem-attack/?hpt=C2 -Andrew On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 2:39 PM, Ralph Stuartwrote: > Pathology tables for Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (rats) (TR-576) have > been updated and are available on the NTP website at URL: > http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/35528 > A complete set of data tables (body weight, clinical observations, survival, > and pathology) for studies planned for peer review are available on the NTP > website at URL: > http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/peerreview > >
