An international expert panel has issued an air quality criteria document for photochemical oxidants and related hydrocarbons that builds on the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (dhew) air quality criteria document for photochemical oxidants. It discusses oxidant concentration patterns in the context of the same tabular material presented earlier. New information is added for the city of Delft the monthly means of daily maximums of hourly ozone concentrations are shown in Table 4-3, and the monthly average ozone concentrations are shown in Table 4-4. As in other cities, the worst month seems to be August, with a mean daily maximum (of hourly concentrations) of 0.071 ppm (140 Mg/m ). Table 4-5 compares the number of days in May through July 1971 when the ozone concentration at one or more sites reached or exceeded the hourly average of 200 Mg/m or of 100 Mg/m (from NATO data °). A comparison is made between Delft and five other monitoring sites in the Netherlands. Amsterdam had a peak value of 0.18 ppm in March 1971. 

The subject of what evidence is necessary to conclude that an exposure is causally associated with disease has received much discussion over the years. In 1964, the seminal report to the Surgeon General on Smoking and Health [United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW 1964)] published criteia by which to evaluate whether an exposure was causally related to disease. These criteria were consistency, strength of association, specificity of the association, temporal relationship of the association, and coherence of the association. 

The U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) (now the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)) halted the immunization program in December 1976 after several vaccinated individuals contracted Guillain-Bark syndrome, a condition that leads to paralysis.29 About 40 million people had received the vaccine. In June 1978, DHEW announced that because the vaccine label and consent form did not warn recipients about the possibility of Guillain-Barre, those claiming injury did not need to prove fault (i.e., negligence by the government) in order to receive compensation. Out of the 4,179... 

Exposure to DNA-reactive substances may affect not only the health of the exposed individuals but in addition may also affect the health of future generations. This problem was reviewed by a Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) Subcommittee on Environmental Mutagenesis and by the National Academy of Sciences whose reports " have served as a basis for proposed regulatory guidelines in this area. The following discussion is based in large part on the Flamm DHEW Subcommittee Report. ... 

In 1971, in a move to affirm the Declaration of Helsinki, and further guarantee the protection of research subjects, the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare (DHEW) issued The Guide to DHEW Policy on Protection of Human Subjects. This publication required every institution receiving DHEW funds for research to establish a committee to monitor the ethical integrity of that institution s human research, and made both the institution and the investigator responsible for violations.
