Dose, materials

A ram system allowing introduction under high pressure of the dosed material into the mould. On some types of injection machine, the screw also acts as the ram.

These were, parent tilmicosin, metabolite T-1, which eluted just before tilmicosin, and compound T-2, which eluted after tilmicosin. Metabolite T-1 constituted 16% and 8% of the liver RA at 3- and 28-days, respectively. Compound T-2 constituted 9% and 21% in the same samples. Metabolite T-1 was later identified as N-desmethyl tilmicosin. Compound T-2 was found to be a minor impurity in the dosing material, rather than a true metabolite. Characterization of T-1 and T-2 are described in a later section. Residues in livers of the 42- and 56-day withdrawal cattle were too low for this type of fractionation. 

Identification of Compound T-2. The metabolism work on liver suggested that Compound T-2 in liver was from the dosing material rather than from metabolism. A quantity of T-2 was isolated from technical tilmicosin by countercurrent partitioning and preparative HPLC on a C-18 reversed phase column. Extensive NMR and MS analyses were conducted. The structure of T-2 that was deduced from this work is that it is a dimeric derivative of tilmicosin. A description of this work is beyond the scope of this paper and will be published later.

The concepmal model for As toxicokinetics requires further clarification. Salient features of the model include the following (1) absorbed As is primarily excreted in the urine. Thus, the UEF, defined as the amount of As excreted in urine divided by the dosed amount, can be used to estimate the ABA. (2) Absolute bioavailability (ABA = AF ) of As from a test material can be estimated from the ratio of UEF of As from test material compared with intravenously dosed As. (3) The RBAs of two orally dosed materials (e.g., a test soil and sodium arsenate) can be calculated from the ratio of their UEFs. This calculation is independent of the extent of tissue binding and biliary excretion ... 

Dose material is placed in the center of a small portion (about 5 g) of moistened feed which has doughlike consistency, and this is administered to the animals by hand. The dose level administered is based on the As content of the test material, with target doses of 25-100 jig kg day for Na2As04 and approximately double this range for each test material. 

The plastic material is mostly powdery. The dosed material is then inserted into the one- or multi-part mold. With the given part size and surface geometry, the amount of the plastic material determines the wall thickness of the hollow part. The filled and closed rotational mold (using clamping elements) is attached to the mold carriers, which are attached to the machine and drive elements. 

The effects of pollution can be direct, such as toxic emissions providing a fatal dose of toxicant to fish, animal life, and even human beings. The effects also can be indirect. Toxic materials which are nonbiodegradable, such as waste from the manufacture of insecticides and pesticides, if released to the environment, are absorbed by bacteria and enter the food chain. These compounds can remain in the environment for long periods of time, slowly being concentrated at each stage in the food chain until ultimately they prove fatal, generally to predators at the top of the food chain such as fish or birds. 

Specimens used in tests were sections of cables with PVC outer coating. PVC was plasticized with DOF softener. The materials considered were exposed to the radiation and thermal aging. The samples have been irradiated at room temperature by hard gamma rays with 10 rad/sec dose power. A number of samples had been heated for long different times at 90°C. Besides a special specimens were cut out from outer coating for test on tensile machine like "Instron". The total doses of irradiation, times of heating and elongations at break obtained with "Instron" are listed in Table 1. 

Pharmaceutical powder aerosols have more stringent requirements placed upon the formulation regarding moisture, particle size, and the valve. For metered-dose inhalers, the dispensed product must be deflvered as a spray having a relatively small (3—6 -lm) particle size so that the particles can be deposited at the proper site in the respiratory system. On the other hand, topical powders must be formulated to minimize the number of particles in the 3—6-p.m range because of the adverse effects on the body if these materials are accidently inhaled. 

The lethal dose for 50% of the test animals, expressed ia terms of g of material per kg of body weight. 

In thermoluminescence dating, a sample of the material is heated, and the light emitted by the sample as a result of the de-excitations of the electrons or holes that are freed from the traps at luminescence centers is measured providing a measure of the trap population density. This signal is compared with one obtained from the same sample after a laboratory irradiation of known dose. The annual dose rate for the clay is calculated from determined concentrations of radioisotopes in the material and assumed or measured environmental radiation intensities. 

The safety record for transport of radioactive materials including spent fuel and wastes is excellent. Information about transportation of radioactive materials including waste is managed by DOE. Codes such as RADTRAN that can calculate pubHc radiation dose owing to the passage of shipments have been developed. The maximum dosage from such shipments is a very small fraction of the typical annual radiation dose from all other sources. 

Environmental Impact of Ambient Ozone. Ozone can be toxic to plants, animals, and fish. The lethal dose, LD q, for albino mice is 3.8 ppmv for a 4-h exposure (156) the 96-h LC q for striped bass, channel catfish, and rainbow trout is 80, 30, and 9.3 ppb, respectively. Small, natural, and anthropogenic atmospheric ozone concentrations can increase the weathering and aging of materials such as plastics, paint, textiles, and mbber. For example, mbber is degraded by reaction of ozone with carbon—carbon double bonds of the mbber polymer, requiring the addition of aromatic amines as ozone scavengers (see Antioxidants Antiozonants). An ozone decomposing polymer (noXon) has been developed that destroys ozone in air or water (157).
