It follows, then, that oxidizing substances, such as dissolved air, may accelerate the corrosion of one class of materials and retard the corrosion of another class. In the latter case, the behavior of the material usually represents a balance between the power of oxidizing compounds to preserve a protective film and their tendency to accelerate corrosion when the agencies responsible for protective-film breakdown are able to destroy the films. 

Smoke and ash abatement in Great Britain was considered to be a health agency responsibility and was so confirmed by the first Public Health Act of 1848 and the later ones of 1866 and 1875. Air pollution from the emerging chemical industry was considered a separate matter and was made the responsibility of the Alkali Inspectorate created by the Alkali Act of 1863. 

Many dty and regional agencies responsible for air pollutant measurements also measure wind and temperature at some of their air pollutant sampling stations. Because exposure at air quality stations is generally considerably less ideal than at airport stations, the data may be representative of extremely local conditions. 

Approvability. The product must be able to meet satisfactory criteria for efficacy and safety such that it is approvable by regulatory agencies responsible for the protection of patients. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the federal agency responsible for regulating air quality. See also EPA Web site.

This expansion will require a major commitment of resources on the part of universities, government, private foundations, and industry. Can such a preferential commitment to one discipline be justified, particularly at a time of severe budgetary austerity Each agency responsible for funding chemical engineering research will have to answer this question for itself, but the committee believes that the following... 

A range of reductions of xenobiotics are known to occur both in the endoplasmic reticulum and cytosol of a number of cell types. However, the enzymes (or other reductive agencies) responsible are seldom known in particular cases. Some reductions only occur at very low oxygen levels. Thus, they do not occur under normal cellular conditions, where there is a plentiful supply of oxygen.

In a broader sense, the data obtained from the R onal Air Pollution Study (RAPS) and the California Three-Dimensional Pollutant Gradient Study Program should also serve as bases of further model development. It is incumbent on the agencies responsible for air quality control to identify resources specifically aimed at using these data for improving techniques for designing pollution-abatement strat es.

The US-EPA is the federal agency responsible for standard settings in relation to contaminants in ambient air (Section 9.2.2.1), drinking water (Section 9.2.2.2), and soil (Section 9.2.2.3) while the U.S. Pood and Drug Administration (US-FDA) is the federal agency responsible for standard settings in relation to contaminants in food (Section 9.2.2.4). 

The US-FDA is the federal agency responsible for regulating the level of contaminants in food (US-FDA 2007). The US-FDA establishes action levels for poisonous or deleterious substances to control levels of contaminants in human food and animal feed. 

The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 regulates the manufacturing, distribution and dispensing of drugs that have abuse potential. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) within the US Department of Justice is the chief federal agency responsible for enforcing the act. 

Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—U.S. government agency responsible for approving drugs for sale based on information from laboratory, animal, and human studies. Human studies, called clinical trials, can begin only after the FDA reviews the laboratory and animal studies.
