European history

SCF opinion on the scientific basis of the concept (requested by the EU Commission), published on 8 March 1996, found it a sound concept, but requested an up-to-date review covering more end-points than carcinogenicity, and possibly two Thresholds (non-genotoxic and genotoxic substances). It also noted that the FDA risk assessment process is different from Europe. APME formed a Task Force with the chemicals industry body CEFIC-FCA in 1995 to evaluate a regulatory concept. ILSI (the International Life Science Institute) formed a Task Force on Threshold of Toxicity in 1996. 

ILSI is publishing its proposals for Threshold of Toxicological Concern (ToTC), aimed at establishing a human exposure threshold below which no toxicity data would be necessary, avoiding the need to expend valuable resources, costs and time on developing safety materials and their uses, and ensure that they comply with national and international legislation. 

A fundamental difficulty with the current EU system is that conventional exposure limits are based on 1 kg of food, 6 dm of plastics and a 60 kg person, which are felt to be too simplistic and conservative. 

An alternative system would divide plastics into two groups commonly used and minor plastics, which would be up-dated with regular market surveys of use of plastics, monomers and additives, to ensure that the classifications as common or minor are consistent. This would treat commonly used plastics according to specification, and commonly used plastics that are not in compliance with these, according to a general list in which no plastics use factors were applied. Minor polymers would be treated according to a general list, with a plastics use factor applied. 

From the user s point of view, packaging is a long and sometimes complex chain, in which it is increasingly vital that manufacturers and suppliers at all the different levels pass down to their customer the safety data specific to their part of the chain.

The Opium War, also called the Anglo-Chinese War, was the most humiliating defeat China ever suffered. In European history, it is perhaps the most sordid, base, and vicious event in European history, possibly, just possibly, overshadowed by the excesses of the Third Reich in the twentieth century.

I decided to try and make up for lost time by staying up all night to study for my European history exam, but by midnight the text was blurring before my eyes. .. 

An upperclassman took pity on me and offered me a green-and-white capsule along with the promise that my drowsiness would be cured by taking it. I took it without a second thought, and within half an hour or so found myself studying like mad. Not only was I completely engrossed in European history, I felt exhilarated I was actually enjoying myself... I got an A on my history exam — as I was sure I had — and have been involved, to some extent, with amphetamines ever since.

Romania occupies a special place in twentieth-century European history. The early twentieth century was characterized by shifts of geopolitical allegiance and territorial gains and losses. At the close of the Second World War Romania fell under the influence of the Soviet Union. However by 1958 the departure of Soviet troops had been agreed and the...

REACH has been described as possibly the most complex piece of legislation in European history. The REACH requirements that apply to polymer materials make implementation particularly challenging, for the reasons given in the next sections.

European history resulted in national minorities becoming resident in different countries. For example there are stUl large communities of Poles living in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The Polish academic system has special scholarships for than. The 1989 crisis also resulted in the immigration of Russians and Ukrainians to western countries. Some of those inunigrants stayed in Poland, some moved elsewhere. 

Soil erosion has been a perennial problem in the eastern United States since European settlement and indeed was a crisis in many places during the 19th and early 20th centuries (Fig. 77.1). Why is this so While there has been soil erosion during the last 2 or 3 millennia of western European history, it could rarely be described as extreme and seldom even serious (Fig. 77.2). Yet these western Europeans came to the eastern US, cultivated the soil, and erosion consequently became a real crisis in many places.
