Health and environment

Early decisions made purely for process reasons often can lead to problems of safety and health (and environment) which require complex and often expensive solutions. It is far better to consider them early as the design progresses. Designs that avoid the need for hazardous materials, or use less of them, or use them at lower temperatures and pressures, or dilute them with inert materials will be inherently safe and will not require elaborate safety systems. ... 

Health and Environment. Manganese in trace amounts is an essential element for both plants and animals and is among the trace elements least toxic to mammals including humans. Exposure to abnormally high concentrations of manganese, particulady in the form of dust and fumes, is, however, known to have resulted in adverse effects to humans (36,37) (see Mineral nutrients). 

Interchemical comparisons of acute toxicity (LD q) are valid only for the same species and route of adrninistration. Except where noted in the table, all data are previously unpublished, Health and Environment Laboratories, Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N.Y.

Once we know the chemical nature of the allelopathic agents and their effects on plant growth dynamics, as well as on health and environment, we can apply genetic manipulation and biotechnology to develop toxin-resistant plants and to reduce the toxin levels frcm the donor plants. These approaches serve a dual purpose because they contribute to increased agricultural productivity and help to minimize the potential risks on health and environment. 

Encouraged by recent legislations all over the world aimed to protect human health and environment, alternative methods have proved their abilities to assess the toxicity of chemicals. Hence, a possible solution to the characterization of the toxicological and ecotoxicological risk of the chemicals could be represented by the application of in silico and in vitro techniques.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the EPA has sampled at 273 former USDA/CCC grain storage facilities. These efforts revealed 38 locations (14%) with detections of carbon tetrachloride, with 22 (8%) of these locations having levels exceeding the established drinking water standard of five micrograms per liter. 

Firm 1 - Very Large. Senior vice president (member of board) heads all health and environment staff. Full-time TSCA coordinator at corporate level, part-time Washington office support. 

These specific, and other broader, concerns in corporate compliance with TSCA s requirements were discussed by Diamond Shamrock Corporation s D. Harlow. He described how corporate structures and procedures, including those for research and development, for companies of all sizes, have been impacted by TSCA. These impacts are generally positive in that they reflect greatly increased awareness, resources and responsiveness to questions of chemicals effects on health and environment. These benefits are seen to be in balance with their costs, expressed in the increased costs of products and services. 

In the last 10 years, CNTs are successfully functionalized via end terminal or sidewall modification or filling with biomolecules, or conjugating with polymers the resulting biomolecules-CNTs nanocomposites own special properties such as optimized mechanical, optical, electronic, and magnetic, and have great potential application in industry, agriculture, defense, and bio-medicine. Effects of CNTs on the cells, human health, and environment also attract more and more attention CNTs potential hazards...
