The aim of this report is to compare, contrast and synthesize country experience in dmg regulation on the basis of data collected in 1998-1999 in the 10 countries which participated in the WHO multicountry study on effective dmg regulation. 

Tables 3.5 and 3.6 show that US consumption of nitrogen products has been flat to growing slightly since the mid-1990 s. It should be noted that ammonia consumption in the United States decreased by 1 percent per year from 1996 to 2001. However US ammonia consumption was forecast to increase by 2 percent per year from 2003 through 2005223. To maintain the US ammonia supply at the level that is needed to satisfy consumers, ammonia imports have increased whenever the operating rate declines (as shown in Figure 3.18). Therefore ammonia imports to the USA increase whenever natural gas prices increase (see Figure 3.19). Western and Central European countries experience similar dynamics in their ammonia markets.

Disasters occur worldwide and are mostly caused by natural phenomena. Most disasters occur in the developing world where economic and political factors strongly influence the level of preparedness and capacity for response. Poorer countries experience more disasters and suffer a higher proportion of deaths. 

It was not until after World War II that particleboard appeared as the first product to use urea formaldehyde (UF) as an adhesive. Particleboard provided a low cost way of converting low grade raw materials into a useful product. Capacity increased rapidly after the World War II to meet the huge demand for building materials, especially in Europe and the technology quickly spread to other countries Experience with this product showed the benefits of controlling the particle size and geometry and lead to improved performance. 

In developing countries, diarrhea is a leading cause of illness and death in children." Moreover, diarrhea produces an economic burden because of costs related to hospitalization and loss of productivity. Approximately 1.3 billion episodes occur annually and 4 million deaths result from diarrhea in these countries. Factors associated with these findings include poor sanitation, poor nutrition, and age less than 5 years. Children in underdeveloped countries experience an average of three episodes of diarrhea each year (e.g., 2.7 diarrhea episodes/person/year in Latin America) as compared to 1 episode/ person/year in the United States and Western Europe.

The pesticides are produced as application preparations marketed in the form which facilitates the application on the area treated in the dose necessary. For spraying the treated area, they are in the form of liquid emul-sifiable or powdered suspended concentrates. In this way, certain amounts of solvents and filling agents are also transported into the environment. These are particularly different mineral oils, tensides and in small aerosol products also freons. In some countries experiments are also aimed at the possibility of using certain antibiotics as pesticides.

Countries experiences show that unless important preconditions in term of fiscal transparency, budget accounts, political consensus, and enforcement mechanisms are met, fiscal responsibility legislation in itself is insufficient to ensure that fiscal policy is sound. Also, fiscal rules tend to be less effective if they only cover the central government, are too specific, and do not foster a reallocation of government spending among programs.

Recently, measures have been taken to ensure the proper iodination of all salt. Some experts believe that the iodine content of 10 mg per 1 kg of NaCl is inadequate and should be increased to 20 mg like in some other countries. Experience from some other countries in which iodine prophylaxis is mandatory has shown that iodine content of salt must be at least 20 mg/kg to meet the WHO recommended iodine intake (150-300 / g/day) in areas where there is little iodine in other components of the diet (20). Recently, a comprehensive project has been started to give reliable estimation of goiter prevalence and iodine intake in population in Croatia. The results of such investigation should provide the answer which measures would be optimal to completely eradicate rademic goiter in Croatia...
