Controlled dangerous substance

Key European Directive Release Controls Dangerous Substances Directive (76/464/EEC) and amendments (1997) The Directive establishes a system for controlling releases of dangerous substances to water through the setting of environmental quality standards for certain substances included in a list of daughter directives. 

Preparing the sample for GC is only one step in the examination of controlled dangerous substances. Several steps must be taken in the scheme of analysis of an unknown drug submission. Table 16.2 lists the steps in a general scheme of analysis for a typical unknown drug submission.

European Commission for these and other substances by nominated dates. The toxicological data and estimation of exposure will form the basis of risk analysis and deterrnination of the appropriate restriction and control of substances in the workplace (58). Restriction of the sales of dangerous substances and preparations to the general pubHc is enforced under Directive 76/769 EC (59). 

The two most important pieces of chemical control legislation enacted affecting the dye and pigment industries are the United States Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) and EEC s Classification, Packaging, and Labeling of Dangerous Substances and its amendments. Table 2 is a comparison of TSCA and the 6th Amendment of the EEC classifications. 

The most suitable method of fast and simple control of the presence of dangerous substances is analytical detection by means of simplified methods - the so-called express-tests which allow quickly and reliably revealing and estimating the content of chemical substances in various objects. Express-tests are based on sensitive reactions which fix analytical effect visually or by means of portable instalments. Among types of indicator reactions were studied reactions of complex formation, oxidation-reduction, diazotization, azocoupling and oxidative condensation of organic substances, which are accompanied with the formation of colored products or with their discoloration.

Other inspection services available include the examination of steel structures (new and existing), electrical wiring installations, containers (to meet Statutory Instm-ment No. 1890), dangerous substances (carriage by road in road tankers or tank containers) to meet Statutory Instmment No. 1059, examination of second-hand plant prior to purchase, plant undergoing repair or modification, the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazard Regulations (CIMAH) Statutory Instmment No. 1902 and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) and Pressure Systems Regulations. 

The conveyance of LPG by road is also subject to control via a number of Regulations aimed at potentially hazardous substances. There are the Dangerous Substances (Conveyance by Road in Road Tankers and Tank Containers) Regulations 1981 and the Road Traffic (Carriage of Dangerous Substances in Packages, etc.) Regulations 1986. 

Control the carriage of dangerous substances in all road tankers and in tank containers with a capacity of 3 m or more. They apply to all substances which exhibit any of the dangerous properties detailed in Schedule 1 to the regulations, from the commencement of loading until the tank has been emptied and cleaned or purged, so that any residual substance or its vapour is not sufficient to create a risk to health and safety. 

Special provisions control specific dangerous substances likely to pass through the system into the natural environment. These Red List substances are defined in the Trade Effluents (Prescribed Processes and Substances) Regulations 1989 and shown in Table 13.18.

Even though pharmaceutical products are, until now, not included in the list of priority or dangerous substances of the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/ EC), and thus, no environmental quality standards are stipulated (Directive 2008/ 105/EC), substances discharged into a basin should be controlled, as the same directive clearly establishes.

Council Directive 92/32/EEC (392), the Seventh Amendment of the Dangerous Substances Directive (DSD) (391), Council Directive 67/548/EEC, requires pre-marketing notification of new chemical substances. Notification ensures that sufficient information is available on the hazardous properties of new substances for labelling and risk assessment (see Section 14) which will ensure the necessary control measures are in place (67).
