The first cellular synthetic plastic was an unwanted cellular phenol—formaldehyde resin produced by early workers in this field. The elimination of cell formation in these resins, as given by Baekeland in his 1909 heat and pressure patent (2), is generally considered the birth of the plastics industry. The first commercial cellular polymer was sponge mbber, introduced between 1910 and 1920 (3). 

Distillation. Separation of rosin from fatty acids is an essential step in utilizing CTO. The basic patent for tall oil distillation was granted in 1911 and the first commercial plant was constmcted in Kotka in 1913 (21), making Finland the birth place of the tall oil industry. In the United States,... 

A much more serious nuclear accident occurred at Chernobyl in the USSR on April 26, 1986, when one of the Chernobyl units experienced a full-core meltdown. The Chernobyl accident has been called the worse disaster of the industrial age. An area comprising more than 60,000 square miles in the Ukraine and Belarus was contaminated, and more than 160,000 people were evacuated. However, wind and water have spread the contamination, and many radiation-related illnesses, birth defects, and miscarriages have been attributed to the Chernobyl disaster. 

In contemporary societies replete with various industries and automobiles, NO (NO, N02, and N03) has been recognized to be one of the important factors responsible for air pollution. Only two decades ago, NO was found to be an essential molecule that regulates cellular/molecular functions in mammals. NO is also enzymatically synthesized in nonmammals, invertebrates, and yeasts. Therefore, the origin of NO may date back to the birth of life arising from single cell organisms living around 3-billion years ago. 

At the same time, the public s faith in science and technology was eroding. Radioactive fallout from atomic bomb tests was poisoning cows milk, and the thalidomide antinausea medicine prescribed to pregnant women in Europe had caused severe birth defects in 8000 children. Above all, the enormous growth of the chemical industry and pollution after World War II put public pressure on Congress to clean up the nation s air and water. 

Your kindness, with which I am familiar, encourages me to contact you with the request that I be permitted to move with my family to an appropriate apartment at my residence and place of birth, Wola, and to obtain permission to work in the industrial plant Wola, of which I am a part owner, in order to be able to exist. As my son is ill in the hospital, I respectfully request that it be rendered possible for him to receive monthly payments cm his credit account with the chemical factory Wola. The same for my daughter Hanna, who has a substantial credit with the chemical factory Wola. Hoping that you, dear sir, will conform to my wishes. , . 

Trace metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, mercury, zinc) Industrial and municipal wastewaters runoff from urban areas and landfill erosion of contaminated soils and sediments atmospheric deposition Toxic effects including birth defects, reproductive failure, cancer, and systemic poisoning. 

The withdrawal of the penis from the vagina prior to ejaculation has been, and remains, one of the most frequently used forms of contraception. The technique is credited (together with abortion) as being responsible for much of the decline in the birth rate at the time of the industrial revolution in Europe. 

Zinc intoxication can occur both from inhaling zinc fumes and particles, mainly in industrial processes, and from orally ingesting an excess of zinc in dietary supplements. Zinc intoxication can cause stomach pains, vomiting, and bleeding. Excess zinc also can cause premature birth in pregnant women. 

The advent of the Loeb-Sourirajan asyimnetric membrane some twenty years ago gave birth to an industry now exceeding 200 million dollars in annual sales. Reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UP) were previously only laboratory curiosities. Today, there are many large membrane plants (up to 16 million gallons per day) in service for applications as diverse as desalinating seawater concentrating serum proteins, or the recovery of paint and other by-products from waste streams. 

The petrochemical industry had its birth in the early 1900s. In 1913 propylene, a by-product of cracking, was introduced. In 1920 isopropyl alcohol was made from petroleum. In 1923 the first derivatives of ethylene were commercialized ethylene chlorohydrin, ethylene glycol, and dichloroethane. By the 1940s petrochemicals were fully developed in the...
