We would like to thank David Firestone of the Division of Chemistry and Physics, FDA for providing us with samples of TCDD, Klaus Bie-mann and Charles Hignite of the Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology for assistance in the early stages of this work, David Parrish of the Department of Chemistry, Harvard University for assistance in developing the MS—9—CAT system, and William Doering of the Department of Chemistry, Harvard University for the use of laboratory facilities. This work was supported by the Herbicide Assess-... 

A detailed clinical history, past medical and surgical history, medications, allergies, laboratory work-up, physical examination, and NIHSS should be obtained as quickly as possible for assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria for lAT. Table 4.1 lists the criteria for catheter-based reperfusion therapy currently in place at the Massachusetts General Hospital (Table 4.1 see also www.acutestroke.com for updated criteria). 

The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Institute has developed an Alternatives Assessment Process Guidance for its analysis of substitutes to five chemicals in Massachusetts. 

Making companies prepare plans which focus on safer chemical use has proved particularly successful in the USA. The benefits of mandatory pollution prevention planning have been demonstrated in the state of Massachusetts. Here, over 550 companies had to assess toxic use reduction options with technical help supplied by university and government experts. Toxic use reduction strategies included material substitution and product reformulation. Within ten years, industry has reduced the use of toxic chemicals by 40%, by-product waste by 58% and toxic emissions by 80%. A cost benefit analysis reveals that the same companies saved a total of Saved a total of USD 14 million (Euro 18.76 million) overthis period through the adoption of more efficient and safer processes. The programme is ongoing and has been expanded to community outreach and assessment of substitutes forsome hazardous material flows and products within the state.

The MTEL Chemistry test is designed to assess the candidate s knowledge of the subject matter required for the Massachusetts Chemistry Teacher certificate. 

The test assesses the candidate s proficiency and depth of understanding of the subject at the level required for a baccalaureate major, according to Massachusetts standards. Candidates are typically nearing completion of or have completed their undergraduate work when they take the test. 

During the summer of 1979, residents in this eastern Massachusetts town became concerned an apparent cluster of six leukemia cases, diagnosed since 1969 in children of families living in a 6-block area in the southeastern portion of the town (1970 total population 37,067). The cluster was reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) both by local citizens and a Boston physician. Concern was also expressed regarding other cancers, especially kidney cancer. An assessment of town-specific cancer mortality rates made independently by MDPH at about the same time for the 1969-1978 decade in Massachusetts showed statistically significant elevations in Woburn for all cancers, as well as for several specific kinds of cancer. 

To assess mortality associated with this storm, CDC officials contacted offices of the Medical Examiner (ME) in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island Suffolk, Westchester, and Nassau counties in New York New York City and...
