The American Petroleum Institute s Recommended Practice 750 describes process safety management elements recommended for operations in the oil and gas industry. 

Assimilation fractions of various elements recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection are presented in detail by Whicker and Schultz (1982b).

Factors which are important for the lowering of human health risks due to mineral deficiency and intoxication are the normative requirements of the macro, trace and ultratrace elements, recommendations for their intake, their apparent absorption and excretion rates, their interactions, tolerance limits for chemicals in food and water, and occupational health standards.

Presently available information indicates that most European countries have adopted the values of partial factors and other reliability elements recommended in Eurocode EN 1990 (2002) for the basis of structural design. About half of the countries are applying an exp. (6.10) for verification of structures for the Ultimate Limit States (ULS) and other countries exps. (6.10a,b). Both alternatives (6.10) or (6.10a,b) are allowed to be use in some CEN countries including the Czech Republic (limitations in some countries for application of (6.10a,b) are given). Modified exps. (6.10a , b) are applied in few countries where in the first expression the permanent actions are considered only. Some countries which preferred exps. (6.10a,b) increased the value of reduction factor for permanent actions from the recommended value 0.85 up to 0.93 diminishing the difference in application of both alternative load combinations. Therefore, the reliability of structures designed according to the nationally implemented Eurocodes may differ from country to country (allowed by EC as a matter of their national safety). 

The capital cost estimates are generated by the Engineering function, often based on 50/50 estimates (equal probability of cost overrun and underrun). It is recommended that the operating expenditure is estimated based on the specific activities estimated during the field lifetime (e.g. number of workovers, number of replacement items, cost of forecast manpower requirements). In the absence of this detail it is common, though often inaccurate, to assume that the opex will be composed of two elements fixed opex and variable opex. 

Given that the ultrasonic back-wall echo from the synthesized beam and from the single element output may differ due to the coherent summing, time and frequency response of synthesized beam outputs may be achieved. Therefore, flat wall must be in the far-field or at the focus point as recommended by the standard [1]. 

ZINDO/I is based on a modified version of the intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INOOh which was developed by Michael /ern cr of the Quan turn Th cory Project at th e Lin iversity oIFIorida. Zerner s original IXDO/1 used the Slater orbital exponents with a distance dependence for the first rorv transition metals only. (See Thvorel. Chirn. Ada (Bed.) 53, 21-54 (1979).) However, in HyperChem con stan I orbital expon en ts are used for all the available elements, as recommended by. Anderson, Kdwards, and /.erner, /norg. Chern. 25, 2728-2732,1986,... 

Elemental fluorine and the fluoride ion are highly toxic. The free element has a characteristic pungent odor, detectable in concentrations as low as 20 ppb, which is below the safe working level. The recommended maximum allowable concentration for a daily 8-hour time-weighted exposure is 1 ppm. 

Care must be taken in handling radon, as with other radioactive materials. The main hazard is from inhalation of the element and its solid daughters which are collected on dust in the air. Good ventilation should be provided where radium, thorium, or actinium is stored to prevent build-up of the element. Radon build-up is a health consideration in uranium mines. Recently radon build-up in homes has been a concern. Many deaths from lung cancer are caused by radon exposure. In the U.S. it is recommended that remedial action be taken if the air in homes exceeds 4 pCi/1. 

The detection limits in the table correspond generally to the concentration of an element required to give a net signal equal to three times the standard deviation of the noise (background) in accordance with lUPAC recommendations. Detection limits can be confusing when steady-state techniques such as flame atomic emission or absorption, and plasma atomic emission or fluorescence, which... 

Descriptive properties for a basic group of approximately 1400 inorganic compounds are compiled in Section 3. These follow a concise, revised introduction to inorganic nomenclature that follows the recommendations of the lUPAC published in 1990. In this section are given the exact atomic (or formula) weight of the elements accompanied, when available, by the uncertainty in the final figure given in parentheses. 

Section 8 now combines all the material on electrolytes, electromotive force, and chemical equilibrium, some of which had formerly been included in the old Analytical Chemistry section of earlier editions. Material on the half-wave potentials of inorganic and organic materials has been thoroughly revised. The tabulation of the potentials of the elements and their compounds reflects recent lUPAC (1985) recommendations. 

Molybdenum Oxides. Molybdenum was one of the first elements used to retard the flames of ceUulosics (2). Mote recently it has been used to impart flame resistance and smoke suppression to plastics (26). Molybdic oxide, ammonium octamolybdate, and zinc molybdate ate the most widely used molybdenum flame retardants. Properties ate given in Table 5. These materials ate recommended almost exclusively for poly(vinyl chloride), its alloys, and unsaturated polyesters (qv). 

A number of substances, such as the most commonly used sulfur dioxide, can reduce selenous acid solution to an elemental selenium precipitate. This precipitation separates the selenium from most elements and serves as a basis for gravimetry. In a solution containing both selenous and teUurous acids, the selenium may be quantitatively separated from the latter by performing the reduction in a solution which is 8 to 9.5 W with respect to hydrochloric acid. When selenic acid may also be present, the addition of hydroxylamine hydrochloride is recommended along with the sulfur dioxide. A simple method for the separation and deterrnination of selenium(IV) and molybdenum(VI) in mixtures, based on selective precipitation with potassium thiocarbonate, has been developed (69). 

Zinc is also an essential food element in the human diet. Too Httle zinc in the diet can lead to poor health, reproductive problems and a lowered abHity to resist disease. Taking too much zinc into the body through food, water or dietary supplements can also affect health. The levels of zinc that produce adverse effects are higher than the Recommended DaHy AHowances, which are 15 mg/day for men, 12 mg/day for women, 10 mg/day for children and 5 mg/day for infants.
