Injection of wastes into the atmosphere from production and consumption activities results in pollution of the environment. In India, as elsewhere in the world especially Asia, uncontrolled growth of industries and population and consequent environmental deterioration are fast assuming menacing proportions and most of the cities of the world and a majority of the population are afflicted with this problem. 

Optimum living conditions also give rise to intensification of aerobic metabolism. Within the zone of temperature tolerance, the intensification depends directly upon temperature (Van t Hoff-Arrhenius law). Many workers have shown that, in the optimum temperature zone, there are increases in oxygen consumption, activities of cytochrome oxidase and succinic dehyrogenase, respiration/phosphorylation ratio (respiratory control) and muscle electrical potential (Hochachka and Somero, 1973,1977 Wodtke, 1974 Khaskin, 1975 Derkatchev et al., 1976 Walesby and Johnston, 1980 Romanenko etal., 1991). 

The first run with ICR 106 catalyst (Run 81-4) was a 2000-hr test made in a relatively small pilot plant containing 130 mL of catalyst to determine denitrification kinetics and hydrogen consumption. Activity data are plotted in Figure 1 for 0.2, 0.3, and 0.6 LHSV. A simple first-...

From the standpoint of chemical reaction kinetics, Kono (1968) and Kono and Asai (1968, 1969a,b) derived equations for growth and production rate that include a so-called consumption activity coefficient, (j>. The equation is more flexible than the simple Monod relation, and the growth rate is given by... 

Solid waste generation is an inevitable consequence of production and consumption activities related to the level of income of a population and degree of urbanisation [3]. The quantity and characteristics of solid waste are the two major factors which govern the design of an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally compatible waste management system. Integrated systems involve a number of management techniques which maximise the recovery of resources from the waste. 

A large number of the sites are involved in processing and/or consumption activities involving Schedule 2B4 and 2B13 chemicals. Some of these plant sites have been found to possess similar simple process configurations and basic safety features, while some others have an equipment setup with more flexibility. All these plant sites typically consume or process the Schedule 2B chemicals used as flame retardants for construction materials, paper, and textiles. 

Inspection teams have been instructed initially to seek access to records of production, processing or consumption activities that were declared in the three calendar years prior to the year in which the initial inspection takes place. Only if such records show inconsistencies in the levels of production, processing or consumption will the inspection team seek access to records of production, processing or consumption activities that were declared for years prior to the three-year period before the year of the initial inspection in question. 

During the past three decades, splenic arterial embolization has been advocated in the nonoperative treatment of patients with these difficult clinical scenarios by intentionally infarcting splenic tissue and reducing its consumptive activity. In 1973, Maddison [97] reported the initial clinical experience of splenic artery embolization, but severe complications that resulted from complete splenic infarction prevented acceptance of the technique as a viable treatment option. Since this initial descrip-...
