Effective cleaning and disinfection. A further essential pre-requisite for the production of cosmetic products is the ease with which production and ancillary equipment can be cleaned. As a rule of thumb, a production line which does not automatically empty its entire contents and, due its construction, cannot be purged in situ, has to be considered a potential source of contamination. Effective cleaning and disinfection procedures require that the plant itself is cleanable. Only production plants constructed in compliance with rules for hygiene technology (EN 1672-2) may be cleaned automatically according to Cleaning In Place procedure, without recourse to...

The book is intended for engineers, scientists, seniors at the university level, and graduate students who have a fundamental understanding of the concept of fluid flow, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. The handbook bridges the disciplines of engineering and occupational health and safety (industrial hygiene). The book can be used as a textbook, a scientific reference for researchers, and a fundamental handbook for practitioners in the industrial air technology field. 

Of these sources, Kirk-Othmer s Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology is particularly recommended for questions on chemistry and on end uses. For information on properties and on toxicity and handling hazards, Patty s Industrial Hygiene, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and the Aldrich catalog are very nseful. Questions on industrial chemistry should be directed to Ullman s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, and the texts by Chenier, Heaton, and White. Hawley s Condensed Chemical Dictionary is valuable as a source for dehnitions of the terms (language) of chemistry.

With the exception of calibration, the measurement problems that were apparent in 1970, at the time of publication of the fost air quality criteria document on photochemical oxidants, have essentially been solved for ozone. This remarkable achievement is the result of unstinting efforts by people working at epa s National Environmental Research Center, North Carolina the National Bureau of Standards private research contractors sponsored primarily by epa private instrument manufacturers the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology the Air and Industrial Hygiene Laboratory, California Department of Health the Air Pollution Research Center of the University of California at Riverside and the California Air Resources Board (carb).

Super slurper has wondrous properties, and it amazed people when it was first demonstrated. For some time no one seemed to know how to exploit its potential, then in 1968 chemists came up with the idea of incorporating polyacrylates into diapers, Here was a way to keep urine away from a baby s bottom and reduce diaper rash. The Japanese, always at the forefront of high-tech innovation, ate it up. Not literally, of course, but they could have — toxicity tests showed that the material was remarkably safe. By 1984 North Americans had also discovered the advantages of superabsorbent diapers, and the product rapidly dominated the market. Soon feminine hygiene products were also incorporating the new technology, as were adult incontinence products.
