Chemical Classification and Physicochemical Properties

The latter is responsible for the rapid decomposition in water under light and soil under aerobic conditions. 

The outstanding characteristic of 1 is its insecticidal activity by translaminar action and translocation. Because of its high water solubility, 1 shows good systemic activity and no phytotoxic effects. Therefore, 1 can control pests by special soil treatment methods such as planting hole application, plant foot treatment before and after transplanting, and soil incorporation, e.g., application combined

According process A, l,l-dichloro-2-nitroethene (6) [10] is transformed into 1,1-bis(methylthio)-2-nitro-ethene (7) [11], which reacts in the first step with N-methylamine to give l-methylthio-l-(N-methyl)-amino-2-nitroethene (8), and in the second step with N-(6-chloro-pyrid-3-ylmethyl)-N-ethyl-amine (9b, CPM-NHEt) [12, 13] to yield 1. By process B, 6 is treated with (9b) to give 1-chloro-l-[N-(6-chloro-pyrid-3-ylmethyl)-N-ethyl]-amino-2-nitroethene (10) in situ, which reacts with N-methylamine to form 1 [14]. 

Nitenpyram (1) controls homopterous insect pests, such as leaf hoppers (e.g., Em-poasca spp.), plant hoppers (e.g., Nilaparvata lugens) on rice, whiteflies (e.g., Bemi-sia argentifolii) and aphids on vegetables, and is also effective against thysanopter-

In the chemical safety report, the hazard assessment of a particular substance is based on the data set provided in the technical dossier. This contains substance-specific information on physicochemical properties as well as on toxicological and ecotoxicological hazards. One objective of the hazard assessment is the substance s hazard identification, which comprises the determination of its physicochemical and hazardous properties for the purpose of classification. Concerning human health hazards, both human and nonhuman information is taken into consideration and evaluated with respect to the classification criteria laid down in the Dangerous Substances Directive and in the CLP Regulation, respectively. However, in most cases human data do not exist, so the hazard identification has to be based on data from animal experiments. With respect to teratogenicity, this hazardous property may in principle be detected in the following toxicity studies ... 

The basic idea of the CLH process is the transfer of responsibility for classification and labeling from industrial companies to authorities on a European Community level. In case of active substances in biocidal or plant protection products, all intrinsic properties including physicochemical properties, human health hazards, and environmental hazards are subject to the harmonization. By contrast, in the case of chemicals which are used in other application fields only some specific hazard classes are considered in the CLH procedure. According to Article 36 of the CLP Regulation, these are respiratory sensitization, carcinogenicity, germ cell mutagenicity, and reproductive toxicity. Consequently, these provisions have... 

The classification of a chemical substance is focused on three main areas physicochemical properties, toxicology, and ecotoxicology. 

Both previous [47] and the present studies (Table 4) have shown the correlation between the two processes. Evaluation of carbons depends on concentration and kind of poUutants, physicochemical properties of carbons and conditions of adsorption. It was stated, that order of adsorptivity values in classification in static conditions (equilibrium concentration 0,2 mg/dm of SLS — permissible concentration in potable water) is similar to the total loading of detergent on filters (mg or mg/cm ). Carbons chemically activated show decreased adsorption in dynamic conditions. Greater differences in values of adsorption capacities and changes of order in classification have been observed, when comparison of these processes was carried out in mass loading (mg of SLS/g of carbon). 

The biological and physicochemical data relevant to a certain project may be represented as two tables and may be analysed in various ways (see Fig. 22.3). Taking biological or physicochemical data either separately or combined, pattern recognition or classification studies may be useful to detect redundancy in the test systems or classify the compounds in a particular way which may be related to their specific mechanism of action. Clustering and classification of compounds based on their properties is central to molecular similarity smdies. Regression or correlation studies between the biological and chemical data are of... 

Proteins are natural, renewable, and biodegradable polymers which have attracted considerable attention in recent years in terms of advances in genetic engineering, eco-friendly materials, and novel composite materials based on renewable sources. This chapter reviews the protein structures, their physicochemical properties, their modification and their application, with particular emphasis on soy protein, zein, wheat protein, and casein. Firstly, it presents an overview of the structure, classification, hydration-dehydration, solubility, denaturation, and new concepts on proteins. Secondly, it concentrates on the physical and chemical properties of the four important kinds of proteins. Thirdly, the potential applications of proteins, including films and sheets, adhesives, plastics, blends, and composites, etc. are discussed. 

A risk assessment for explosivity, oxidising properties and flammability is required unless none of the product s constituents possess such properties, and, in addition, that on the basis of information available the product is unlikely to present dangers of this kind. Due to the type and nature of the studies conducted under the physicochemical data requirements section (see Tables 1 and 2 for a list of the required studies on the active substance and 23 product types to fulfill the BPD), a physico-chemical risk assessment on a particular product is usually qualitative and is based solely on the intrinsic hazards of the constituents. Therefore, the outcome of a physicochemical risk assessment usually relies on the eventual classification of the product for physical and chemical characteristics and this then leads directly to risk management proposals.
