Cubic, an experienced OEM/ODM manufacturer, has leveraged its mature technology platforms, including NDIR, TDLAS, and ultrasonic, to deliver advanced sensing solutions for medical and healthcare applications, such as pulmonary function testing (PFT), cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), metabolism measurement, oxygen therapy, and ventilator & anesthesia monitoring.To demonstrate pulmonary ...
Introduction Soldering is a critical process in electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly, and repair operations. While the process itself appears relatively clean compared to heavy industrial applications, soldering generates airborne contaminants that can accumulate rapidly in enclosed workspaces. These fumes are primarily produced when flux compounds are heated during soldering and may contain ...
Introduction Electronics manufacturing processes such as manual soldering, wave soldering, and rework operations generate fumes containing flux vapors, fine particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although soldering fumes may appear less intense than welding fumes, prolonged exposure in enclosed workspaces can significantly affect indoor air quality and operator health. ...
Challenges of Continuous Oxygen Measurement in Medical Respiratory DevicesAccurate and stable oxygen concentration measurement is a fundamental requirement in medical respiratory devices where oxygen delivery must be continuously monitored and controlled. ...
In the world of preclinical lung cancer research, seeing a tumor is only half the battle. While traditional imaging like microCT can show us where a mass is located, it often fails to tell the full story: How is that tumor actually affecting the animal’s ability to breathe? A recent pilot study by Smith et al (2025) has broken new ground by combining two powerhouse technologies - ...
Large-scale poultry and livestock operations rely on precise environmental control to support animal health, welfare, and predictable growth. As facilities expand, maintaining consistent temperature, airflow, humidity, and air quality across sheds and storage areas becomes increasingly complex with manual checks ...

Have you started snoring suddenly and have other health issues that have emerged recently? Although snoring is usually considered as a harmless annoyance, it is actually a symptom of deeper health issues, such as hypothyroidism. This is when the thyroid reduces the production of thyroid, a vital hormone and there is a deficiency in the body. Though the connection between hypothyroidism and ...
Exposure to dust at PM2.5 can cause serious disease to the respiratory system, such as lung cancer and COPD, and also can effect cardiovascular diseases, such as a stroke. ...
It is estimated that every 30 seconds, somewhere in the world, one worker dies as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals, pesticides, radiation and other hazardous substances.1 The effects of exposure can develop quickly or take years to develop, leaving workers vulnerable to asthmatic and allergic reactions and longer-term illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular, ...

For instance, exposure to excessive carbon dioxide levels may cause issues with the upper respiratory system in certain persons. However, exposure to these contaminants causes allergic reactions in a large number of people. ...
The best solution is a smart air quality monitoring system, one that places sensors in key areas like gates, taxiways, and terminals. ...
Air pollution, especially fine and ultrafine particles, poses significant health risks to older adults. Seniors are more vulnerable due to age-related declines in immunity and chronic health conditions, leading to higher rates of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and increased mortality. Reducing exposure - through policy changes, personal precautions, and community ...
When selecting a particle counter for monitoring air quality, it is essential to determine the specific variables you need to measure. Key factors include air temperature, humidity, particle size, and concentration. If your application requires measuring particle sizes in micrometers (µm) and quantifying particle concentration, particularly for cleanroom classification, an Optical Particle ...
Air Pollution’s When we think about air pollution, we often picture smoggy city skylines, busy highways, or plumes of smoke rising from factories. But did you know that some of the most dangerous pollutants are completely invisible to the naked eye? These are called ultrafine particles (UFPs), and they’re quietly affecting our health in ways many people don’t ...
By conducting detailed studies and analyses, inhalation toxicologists can provide valuable insights into how these substances interact with biological systems. A central component of inhalation toxicology services is the use of controlled laboratory studies. ...
Immediate biofeedback is particularly helpful for some smokers, allowing them to see their quit attempt manifesting positively through the reduction of CO in their respiratory system, which correlates with the improvement of their overall health. ...
This digestive form of elastase is essential for the proper metabolism of proteins in our diet. In the immune system, elastase produced by neutrophils plays a key role in defense mechanisms. ...
Recent research from Iyer, S., et al (2024) has highlighted the role of respiratory dysfunction in SUDEP, particularly involving the orexinergic system in the brain. ...
Industrial activities are a significant source of air pollution, contributing to various environmental and health problems. Understanding the different types of industrial air pollutants is crucial for developing effective control strategies and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. In this blog, we will explore the primary categories of industrial air pollutants, their sources, and ...
These pollutants have been linked to respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and even cancer. ...
