Assessment and Evaluation

It is possible to identify other features of procedures from the literature that should be assessed. Other factors that should be assessed, for example, include the appropriateness of the format used, the consistency of the procedure, the overall ease of use of the procedure, and the clarity of the procedure.

Once the inventory of chemicals in raw materials or products is complete, the next step on the path to integrating green chemical inventories is to assess and evaluate the associated hazards. Using the following rather simplistic distinctions helps to assess and evaluate hazards. Each of these distinctions brings with it a different set of strategies, tools and metrics. 

While advancing green chemical inventories is critical to a sustainable future, it is important to remember the big picture when designing products and processes - it is not just about hazard. Once the hazard assessment and evaluations are complete, and as part of the implementation stage, it is important to step back and consider the big picture when developing products. As noted earlier, a sustainable product - one that meets the criteria for Cradle to Cradle Design ... 

Assessing and evaluating chemical hazards in order to seek the greenest options provides the foundation from which hfecycle impacts and exposure can be considered. By first selecting chemical candidates with the least inherent hazard, companies can make more informed choices by considering the potential for exposure and lifecycle impacts. 

For the different purposes presented here, cell culture models can provide the basis of screening, biopharmaceutical assessments, and evaluations for mechanistic purposes and some considerations for optimal and rational design are discussed below. 

It should be noted that the Council s Decision does not commit members of the OECD to adopt these test guidelines and GLP s as enforceable requirements. Rather, the Council issued a Recommendation that "Member countries, in the testing of chemicals, apply" the guidelines and GLP s. Thus, while the Decision commits Members to accept, for purposes of their own assessments and evaluations, any data that are generated in accordance with these guidelines and principles, Members remain free to select these or any others for their own national use.

The SHE cell transformation assay at pH 6.7 is conducted to determine the ability of a test article to induce morphological transformation in cultured SHE cells. The SHE cell transformation assay is one of the most widely used cell transformation assays. The endpoints of this assay are related to the conversion of normal cells into preneoplastic or neoplastic cells. The assay provides a valuable tool in the process of assessment and evaluation of the carcinogenic potential of a test article.2 28... 

Metallic corrosion is an electrochemical process associated with the flow of current between surface sites having a difference in electrochemical potential. The assessment and evaluation of organic coatings to prevent metal corrosion has traditionally been accomplished through salt fog testing (ASTM B-117) and long term exposure tests in particular service environments. Electrochemical techniques have often been considered (, but are not routinely employed in practice. 

Methodically devised and established methods (and criteria) of substance and process assessment and evaluation like risk analysis, toxicological and ecotoxi-cological analyses, life-cycle-analysis and cost-benefit analysis . But also much simpler approaches, which in practice play an important role for assessing formulations and snbstance properties (e.g. the nse of negative and/or positive lists). 

The delayed neurotoxicity study of organophosphoms substances provides information on the delayed neurotoxicity arising from a single exposure. The smdy is used in the assessment and evaluation of the neurotoxic effects of organophosphoms substances (Section 4.7.7.3.1). 

Making prototypes and laboratory testing of polymer disks are projects that require limited cost and time duration. Certification by the FDA, on the other hand, is a long drawn out and costly process, where animal tests are followed by three phases of clinical trials, which have been described elsewhere (e.g. Suffness 1995). When the results are assessed and evaluated, a brand new product that costs more than 100 million can also run into many unforeseen problems, which makes many financiers very cautions. One of the biggest unknowns is who would pay for this costly new form of medication, and whether the medical insurance companies and Medicare would approve payment. This is the reason why so many information technology products, such as digital cameras and spreadsheets, are launched quickly, as they require much less capital to start and do not require FDA clearance.
