Health consequences

For carckiogen pesticides (70,71), animal testkigs are subject to maximum tolerated doses (M I L)). M I D is the maximum amount of a substance that can be administered to an experimental animal without causkig extreme health consequences, such as death, to occur but while continuing to produce some measurable toxic effects. Current regulatory theory holds that carckiogen effects do not have a threshold and caimot be related to reference doses. 

The possibility that vitamins might have physiological functions beyond the prevention of deficiency diseases was first recognized in 1955 with the finding (8) that niacin can affect semm cholesterol levels in humans. An explosion of research (9—11) in the intervening years has been aimed at estabUshing optimal vitamin levels and anticipating the health consequences.

In constructing the event tree, the analyst considers the functions that are required to prevent damage states, health consequences considering the relationships between safety functions. For example, if RCS inventory is not maintained, the heat-removal functions are depicted as failed state.s that may lead to core melt. 

The model contains a surface energy method for parameterizing winds and turbulence near the ground. Its chemical database library has physical properties (seven types, three temperature dependent) for 190 chemical compounds obtained from the DIPPR" database. Physical property data for any of the over 900 chemicals in DIPPR can be incorporated into the model, as needed. The model computes hazard zones and related health consequences. An option is provided to account for the accident frequency and chemical release probability from transportation of hazardous material containers. When coupled with preprocessed historical meteorology and population den.sitie.s, it provides quantitative risk estimates. The model is not capable of simulating dense-gas behavior. 

It can simulate a wide variety of release scenarios but is particularly well suited to assessing health consequence impacts and risk.

The post-World War II generation was the first to live under the shadow of total and instantaneous annihilation, a reality that—coming on the heels of the holocaust and the massive militai"y horrors of World War II—gave rise to a new nihilism among some philosophers and social thinkers. Psychologists began to probe the possible mental health consequences of...

Class II recalls are those in which the use of or exposure to a product found in violation of the law may cause a temporary health problem that is reversible, or in which the situation would not cause serious adverse health consequences. Examples of this type of recall would include uncertainty of the sterility of an injectable product, Salmonella contamination of various types of oral dosage forms, inadequate directions for use, and improper buffering of solution for injection [20].

To develop a better understanding of the potential health consequences of radiocerium in our environment, it is important to know the possible sources and physical and chemical forms of its release. The metabolism and dosimetry of internally-deposited radiocerium are highly dependent upon the forms of the material presented to the body and the mode of exposure as discussed in Section 3—Metabolism of Cerium in Mammalian Species.
