The Action Programme also demands to place "the responsibility on manufacturers, importers and downstream users for generating knowledge about all chemicals (duty of care) and assessing risks of their use, including in products, as well as recovery and disposal."... 

Wood dunnage is separated into that which has not been exposed to agent and that which may have been exposed. This segregation is based on generator knowledge and vapor monitoring. Unexposed dunnage is... 

The U.S. Army s chemical agent disposal facilities, like many industrial facilities, produce wastes in the course of plant operations. For the purposes of this report, secondary waste is defined as any waste associated with the storage or destruction of chemical agent. Like other industrial waste, these wastes are either hazardous or nonhazardous. A particular waste is classified into one or the other of these categories by either laboratory analysis or generator knowledge of material source, use, and exposure (Box 1-1). The wastes discussed in this report are called secondary wastes to distinguish them from the chemical munitions that are... 

Generator knowledge is a hazardous waste evaluation method commonly accepted and defined by the EPAand individual states based on some or all of the following information ... 

Generator knowledge may be used to make a determination that a waste from a chemical agent disposal facility never came into contact with agent and therefore is not agent-contaminated when it is declared a waste. In that case, these secondary wastes are designated not as hazardous wastes but as solid wastes unless they possess some other characteristic of a hazardous waste or are a listed waste. 

Making the chemical industry more responsible for generating knowledge about chemicals, evaluating their risks, and maintaining their safety -establishing a new duty of care. ...

To do research is basically to generate knowledge which is made available to the scientific community via publication. The main aim is that other scientists will be convinced by the scientific approach and they can adopt the strategy or scientific principle for answering their own research questions. Thus, criteria for good to excellent biosensor research have to be measured in terms of the following questions ...
