The nature of a violation depends on how the violation prevents the EPA from performing its information gathering or regulatory functions under TSCA. The ERPs classify these functions as chemical control, control-associated data gathering, or hazard assessment. Chemical control violations are violations of use and handling restrictions on particular chemical substances. Chemical control violations are only applicable when the EPA... 

The difficulties associated with recording corrosion information are many, ranging fi om the basic lack of details in failure analyses to the inherent complexity of the vari-ahles involved. The complexities associated with corrosion damage information are compounded by a general lack of standard schemes to represent materials in their operational environments. Data gathered in controlled laboratory environments can usually be obtained with more precision and for such data standards have been developed to stream-... 

In an investigation of caffeine-containing products in 1993, Slattery et al.75 reported on alcohol, coffee, tea, caffeine, and theobromine intake and the risk of prostate cancer in a Utah study. Data were gathered from a population-based sample of 362 newly diagnosed cases of prostate cancer and 685 age-matched controls. The Utah population was comprised predominantly of members of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints. The researchers found that pack-years of cigarettes smoked and consumption of alcohol, coffee, tea, and caffeine were not associated with prostate cancer risk, but found some possible correlation with increased theobro-... 

Similar to the Martyn et al. (1989) study, Martyn et al. (1997) used CT records to identify individuals with Alzheimer s disease 106 cases were identified. Three sets of controls were used patients with other types of dementia (99 cases), patients with brain cancer (226 cases), and patients with other neurologic disorders (441 cases). The subjects (or next of kin) were mailed questionnaires that asked for all addresses (with dates of residence), and the investigators used this information to gather quantitative data for aluminum concentrations in the municipal water for each address and period of residence. No significant associations were found between the risk of Alzheimer s disease (as compared to each control group) and aluminum levels in drinking water. 

Untoward vaccine effects are variable, manifesting from injection site irritation, fever, and irritability to encephalopathy, paralysis, and even death. - " " Reporting of certain vaccine adverse events to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is mandatory. VAERS was established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to facilitate the process of gathering postmarketing surveillance data on vaccine-related adverse events. VAERS reports record adverse events temporally but not necessarily eausally associated with vaccination. 

A nonprofit association of insurance companies that provides services for participating companies. It provides statistical, actuarial, and underwriting information for numerous affiliated insurance companies and more than a dozen lines of insurance. It maintains one of the largest private databases in the world for insurance premiums and losses paid. Included in these lines is liability, automobile, boiler and machinery, homeowners, farm, and commercial fire insurance. ISO is a voluntary, nonprofit, unincorporated association of insurers. Previous to 1971, the functions performed by ISO were undertaken by various insurance organizations in different states. ISO gathers data that are used to establish rates for fire protection policies for residential and commercial properties. ISO developed the municipal grading schedule, which is commonly used to establish a basis of insurance rates for municipalities. It is an evaluation of the fire protection features of cities and towns based on seven factors climatic conditions, water supply, fire department, fire service communications, fire safety control, building codes, and a survey report. 

Table 6.3 Information about dangerous incidents with methanol gathered by the American Association of Poison Control Centres. Table 6.3a gives data on the outcome of methanol exposure and Table 6.3b gives the motivating factor in the case of the fatal exposures...

Understanding of the level of control one has over risk is important in the context of financial decision-making associated with new offshore wind farm projects. Effective risk management requires a new model to adequately address systemic risk, which is important for two reasons. First, if systemic risk, which impacts across all turbines, is ignored then overall farm performance will be over-estimated. Second, the epistemic uncertainty associated with systemic risk can be reduced by as we learn from relevant data and information gathered from, for example, relevant testing.
