In addition to the efforts by the CPQF, the Association of International Chemical Manufacturers (AICM) participates in Responsible Care in China. These international companies produce 10-15% of the chemical products manufactured in China. Participating AICM members implement Responsible Care principles at their own operations and support Chinese companies introducing Responsible Care [168,169]. Support and expansion of Responsible Care in China is a stated goal for ICCA [170].

The general hazards to health associated with isocyanates may be summarized as follows all isocyanates (both aliphatic and aromatic) if present above certain critical values adversely affect the respiratory system. Surveys by the International Isocyanate Institute (which is primarily a voluntary association of isocyanate chemical manufacturers) suggest that normal individuals can work a standard 8-h day in an atmosphere in which the TLV of the diisocyanate is observed in recent years these values have been revised downwards (see Table 14.1).t However, mild to severe asthmatic attacks will result in the majority of people exposed to excessive inhalation of isocyanate vapour and this must be recognized as an acute hazard also loss of lung capacity and reduction in forced respiratory response results. Once an individual has suffered such an attack, some sensitization must, in the majority of cases, be assumed to have occurred ...

In 1996, Mr. Kenkel won the prestigious National Responsible Care Catalyst Award for excellence in chemistry teaching, sponsored by the Chemical Manufacturer s Association. He has a master s degree in chemistry from the University of Texas in Austin (1972) and a bachelor s degree in chemistry from Iowa State University (1970). His research at the University of Texas was directed by Professor Allen Bard. He was employed as a chemist from 1973 to 1977 at Rockwell International s Science Center in Thousand Oaks, California. 

Information regarding the chemical identity of benzene is shown in Table 3-1. Although the term benzol is found in older literature for the commercial product, benzene is the name presently approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA), and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for the pure product (HSDB 1996).

The scope of what constitutes hazards waste, an ever-present downside of the benefits we derive from the manufacture, processing, and use of chemicals and their products, continues to expand as technology moves forward. In the US two million tons of electronic products, including 50 million computers and 130 million cellphones, are disposed of every year. According to the International Association of Electronic Recylers, this number will more than triple by 2010. With such quantities in landfills and rivers, there are bound to be consequences for our air and water. Potential toxicants include lead, cadmium, and beryllium.
