The deposition, exposure, and removal of resists involve quite a few issues of chemistry and transport that benefit from the chemical engineering perspective. For example, resists are typically deposited by a spin-on process, in which the polymer is dissolved in a solvent and poured onto a rapidly spinning wafer. With the addition of suitable viscosity thinners and careful choice of spinning speed, this mixture spreads uniformly over the wafer with simultaneous evaporation of the solvent. Detailed modeling of the simultaneous flow and evaporation presents a nontrivial transport problem. Chemical issues make their appearance during optical exposure. Positive resists contain...

Repeated daily E25 aerosol administration was studied in both the rat (116 flg/kg deposited/day) and the cynomolgus monkey (67 fg/kg deposited). Exposures were by nose-only inhalation for the rat and head-only inhalation for the monkey studies. E25 aerosols were generated in both studies using a Pari-IS2 nebulizer. It required multiple days (approxiiuately 5) of aerosol exposure in both species before E25 was detected in the serum (Figs. 3 and 4). These animal... 

Air cleaning systems are often used to remove dust or vapors from plant or process exhaust streams. Dust collecting systems such as filters or electrostatic precipitators that handle heavy loads of dust are usually designed to be self-cleaning, but it is stiU. necessary to enter the air cleaner periodically for inspection or repair. Dust deposits inside the equipment are likely to be stirred up and inhaled by unprotected workers. Baghouses are particularly likely to cause exposure because large amounts of dust may be retained in the cloth and released when the bags are handled. 

Cyclohexylamine is miscible with water, with which it forms an azeotrope (55.8% H2O) at 96.4°C, making it especially suitable for low pressure steam systems in which it acts as a protective film-former in addition to being a neutralizing amine. Nearly two-thirds of 1989 U.S. production of 5000 —6000 t/yr cyclohexylamine serviced this appHcation (69). Carbon dioxide corrosion is inhibited by deposition of nonwettable film on metal (70). In high pressure systems CHA is chemically more stable than morpholine [110-91-8] (71). A primary amine, CHA does not directiy generate nitrosamine upon nitrite exposure as does morpholine. CHA is used for corrosion inhibitor radiator alcohol solutions, also in paper- and metal-coating industries for moisture and oxidation protection. 

Radiation Dosimetry. Radioactive materials cause damage to tissue by the deposition of energy via their radioactive emissions. Thus, when they are internally deposited, all emissions are important. When external, only those emissions that are capable of penetrating the outer layer of skin pose an exposure threat. The biological effects of radiation exposure and dose are generally credited to the formation of free radicals in tissue as a result of the ionization produced (17). 

The term steam quaUty refers to the amount of dry steam present relative to Hquid water in the form of droplets. The steam deUvered from the boiler usually contains some water. Excessive amounts can result in air entrapment, drying problems following exposure, and unacceptable steam levels (>3% water or <97% quaUty steam). Excessive amounts of water deposits dissolve boiler chemicals onto the load to be sterilized. Boiler chemicals are used to prevent corrosion in the lines. Inappropriate boiler chemicals, also called boiler amines, may introduce toxicity problems (see CORROSION AND CORROSION control). 

The likelihood that materials will produce local effects in the respiratory tract depends on their physical and chemical properties, solubiHty, reactivity with fluid-lining layers of the respiratory tract, reactivity with local tissue components, and (in the case of particulates) the site of deposition. Depending on the nature of the material, and the conditions of the exposure, the types of local response produced include acute inflammation and damage, chronic...
