Atmospheric conditions and particle size determine the persistence of aerosolized toxin in the environment. Temperature and humidity extremes facilitate toxin degradation, and smaller particles dissipate more quickly into the atmosphere. Studies estimate that aerosolized toxin would decay between less than 1 and 4% per minute. At a 1% decay rate, insubstantial amounts of toxin would remain after 2 days (36). Although botulinum toxin can penetrate mucosal surfaces, it cannot penetrate intact skin. If a release were recognized or announced, and authorities anticipated potential airborne exposure, people could protect themselves by covering their mouths and noses with clothing, such as underwear, shirts, scarfs, or handkerchiefs. In addition, after exposure, washing with soap and water would decontaminate clothing, and a 0.1% hypochlorite bleach solution would be effective on contaminated objects and surfaces (36).

A number of investigators have focused on the two humidity extremes, dry air and superheated steam. Comparing drying in superfieated steam with drying in air, six observations, excluding economic considerations, warrant attention. At first, the drying rate during the constant rate period. 

Unprotected steel corrodes at a rate which is generally assumed to be 0.1 to 0.2mm per annum. Factors that influence the actual rate of corrosion include the maintenance program applied by the owner - particularly preservation of protective coatings, efficiency of cathodic protection systems in ballast tanks, corrosive properties of the cargo carried and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Under extreme conditions it has been known for the annual rate of corrosion on unprotected steel exposed on both surfaces to approach 1mm. 

In general, extreme care has to be taken when LB films are prepared, since tire quality of the resulting films depends cmcially on tire preparation conditions. The best place for an LB trough is a laboratory where tire surroundings, i.e. temperature, humidity and atmosphere, are completely controlled. Often it is placed in a laminar flow box. Also, tire trough should be installed in a shock-free environment. 

The temperature and humidity should be maintained at comfort conditions consistent with the operator s expected level of activity in order to minimise perspiration. Constant temperature and humidity may also be required in machine rooms to prevent the etching or corrosion of machine parts. If perspiration causes only minor damage to the product and results in few rejects, then inside design conditions at 27°C and 40% rh are satisfactory. Where even small amounts of perspiration cause extreme damage to precision-machined parts and result in a high amount of rejects, inside design conditions of 21°C and 40% rh are recommended. 

Temperature and Humidity. Temperature is probably the easiest environmental factor to control. The main concern is that the temperature remains constant to prevent the thermal expansions and contractions that are particularly dangerous to composite objects. Another factor regarding temperature is the inverse relation to relative humidity under conditions of constant absolute humidity, such as exist in closed areas. High extremes in temperature are especially undesirable, as they increase reaction rates. Areas in which objects are exhibited and stored must be accessible thus a reasonable temperature setting is generally recommended to be about 21°C. 

Dorex is very toxic (see Table 2) and must be handled with extreme care. Because it may produce severe dermatitis on moist skin, it is difficult to use in hot, humid climates inhalation of the dust or spray may irritate the mucous membranes. Whereas symptoms may include a flushed face, tachycardia, headache, vertigo, and hypotension, it does not produce the typical cyanide effect. 

The above-mentioned codes contain requirements for accelerated durabiUty tests. In addition, interlayer manufacturers and laminators expose test samples for several years under extreme weather conditions, eg, the Florida coast and Arizona desert. The laminated products weather extremely well, with no change in the plastic interlayer. Occasionally, clouding is noted around the edges when exposed to high humidity for long periods, but this is reversible. Colored areas of PVB laminates may fade while subjected to extensive uv/solar irradiation, which could cause an appearance issue. This has not, however, been shown to alter the laminate s other performance properties. 

Grade G-10, glass fabric with epoxy resin binder, has extremely high mechanical strength (flexural, impact, and bonding) at room temperature and good dielectric loss and electric strength properties under both dry and humid conditions. 

Product Utilization. The principal appHcation for chromium phosphate coatings is as a paint base for painted aluminum extmsions and aluminum beverage can stock. In these appHcations, extremely demanding performance criteria are met by the chromium phosphate conversion coatings. As an example, the Architectural Aluminum Manufacturer s Association Voluntary Specification 605.2-92 requires humidity and salt spray testing for 3000 hours and allows only minimal incidence of paint failure after testing (26). 

Tensile elongation of PVA is extremely sensitive to humidity and ranges from < 10% when completely dry to 300—400% at 80% rh. Addition of plasticizer can double these values. Elongation is independent of degree of hydrolysis but proportional to the molecular weight. Teat strength increases with increasing relative humidity or with the addition of small amounts of plasticizer. 

Requirements. Automotive brakes must satisfy a certain set of consumer expectations, which iacludes safety, comfort, durabiUty, and reasonable cost. In technical terms, these expectations are translated iato a set of specific requirements such as high and stable friction, no or minimal vibration and noise, and low wear rates for the friction material and rotor mating surfaces, all of which have to be achieved simultaneously at a reasonable cost. Particularly, the performance has to be stable under varying appHcation conditions over extremes ia temperature, humidity, speed, and deceleration rate for occasional or many consecutive stops. The requirements for use ia machines are less stringent. 

Many of the fabrication processes for iategrated circuits are similar or coaceptuaHy related to those used ia the manufacture of ptinted wiring boards. However, because of the extremely fine device features, fabrication must be carried out ia clean rooms having strictly controlled environments. Particulate and chemical contamination are minimized, and temperature, humidity, and even vibration are carefully controlled. 

N-(Thexyl dimethylsilyl)dimethylamine (N-[2,3-dimethyl-2-butyl]dimethylsilyl dimethyl-amine) [81484-86-8] M 187.4, b 156-160°/720mm. Dissolve in hexane, filter, evaporate and distil. Colourless oil extremely sensitive to humidity. It is best to store small quatities in sealed ampoules after distillation. For estimation of purity crush an ampoule in excess O.IN HCl and titrate the excess acid with O.IM NaOH using methyl red as indicator. [Helv Chim Acta 67 2128 1984.]...
