Dimethyl and diethyl sulfate are available in a vahety of containers from 0.5-kg glass botdes to tank cars. Diethyl sulfate is somewhat less toxic than dimethyl sulfate and is considered noncorrosive, but dimethyl sulfate is classified as a corrosive Hquid and ICC regulations must be observed. Mild steel to 306 stainless steel is used for large-volume storage. Dimethyl sulfate is manufactured by E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc., and diethyl sulfate by Union Carbide Corporation. Other producers are Rhc ne-Poulenc and Hoechst-Celanese. 

Despite the attractions of economic forces driving environmental protection, some cautions and failures have been noted. Firstly, the export of hazardous waste to countries where costs for treatment are lower enhances environmental risks during transport and has the potential for transboundary export in the event of pollution. At the same time, the loss of raw material may deprive the home market of an adequate supply of feedstock for the home-based industry. Secondly, there is considerable scepticism that self-regulation of TBT-based antifoulants could be achieved in a timely manner by the shipping industry. This is an instance where the cost benehts to one industry are born by another commercial sector, notably aquaculture. Thus, protection of the marine environment is likely to be aided by economic factors but the role of government, via taxation and standard setting, is not likely to be usurped. Public education and, in turn, pressure, can promote and support corporate environmentalism.

Prompted by new regulation, industry standards, and good business practice, our corporate safety staff has prepared recommendations for the Core Management Group concerning Process Safety Management (PSM). 

Each of these criteria represents a level at which injuries can occur. In addition, some other criteria may be appropriate, for example where existing hazard calculations are in use, corporate policy defines different standards, or local regulation sets criteria. 

Management is ultimately responsible for defining the objectives of any activity. In the fields of PSM and ESH, top management might, for example, define the corporate objective as to be recognized as the leader in PSM and ESH performance in our industry or to be in compliance with all pertinent regulations and industry standards. ...

Regulation of medicines in Zimbabwe started in 1969, with the promulgation of the Dmgs and Allied Substances Control Act, Chapter 320. This Act created the Dmgs Control Council (a body corporate), which started operations in 1971. The 1997 amendment transformed the Dmgs and Allied Substances Control Act into the Medicines and Allied Substances Control Act (MASCA), Chapter 15 03, which established the Medicines Control Agency of Zimbabwe (MCAZ), with increased authority. 

Steroid hormones regulate a very extensive assembly of functions in numerous corporal tissues. Estrogens, the steroid hormones to which the majority of this chapter is dedicated, regulate from basic functions related to reproduction, the development of the skeleton, the maintenance of arterial tension, or diverse nervous functions. The molecular studies on the mechanism of action of estrogens have set the foundations that will permit us to understand how they carry out such diverse functions in such dissimilar tissues as well as how some substances that act through the estrogen signaling pathway can exercise opposite functions in different tissues. In this respect, there are five facts of particular importance that constitute the central nucleus of this revision ...

Industry too has contributed toward the establishment of an international consensus. According to Mardsen and Arce (1995,1274) the retail and corporate sector is often the forerunner in the regulation of food safety and quality. In this way, public opinion and consumer choice give large retailers great power in setting standards for their suppliers (Murdock, Marsden Banks, 2000, p. 109).
