Industry responsibility

Provides a coordinated crop protection industry response to the development of resistance in insect and mite pests. During the last decade, IRAC has formed several international working gi oups to provide practical solutions to mite and insect resistance problems within major crops and pesticide groups. 

During the forties and fifties, episodes of severe air pollution occurred In a number of urban and Industrial areas. They were responsible for 111 health and In some cases caused death among the populations concerned. As the scientific and public Information base on the adverse effects of urban air pollution Increased, so did public demand for control measures. As a result, many Industrial countries Introduced comprehensive air pollution control laws at various times from the mid-fifties onwards. Industrial response to these laws led to the application of control techniques which effectively reduced the emissions of some pollutants. However there are other sources and factors which can obscure the benefits of these control actions. For example, consider urban growth. In 1980 there were 35 cities with populations over 4 million. By the year 2000 this number will nearly double to 66, and by the 2025, this number will more than double to an estimated 135 (9). In developing countries, from 1980 to the year 2000, It Is estimated that twice as many people will live In cities of a total population of 1 million or more In Latin America (101 million to 232 million) and East Asia (132 million to 262 million). Three times as many people will live In cities of 1 million or more In South Asia (106 million to 328 million) and four times as many In Africa (36 million to 155 million) (10). Accompanying this rapid growth are Increases In Industrial activity...

If public opinion shapes EU policy, then a certain amount of uncertainty surrounds the future of agri-food biotechnology. The lack of equilibrium between the EU and the US adds to the global uncertainty over the issue since both are powerful political and trade powers and have yet to find common ground. This section will interpret the consequences of this uncertainty as the national and industrial responses to changes in their economic interests. 

In further recognition of Industry responsibilities, efforts were made through the American Textile Manufacturers Institute to develop a set of work practices for industry-wide application to diminish the exposure of individual employees to cotton dust hazards. The comprehensive and stringent series of work practices developed were consolidated into a printed booklet in 19730). This publication was distributed widely through the industry. In addition, an industry delegation called on the Secretary of Labor, urging that the recommended practices be established immediately as a mandatory OSHA standardO). This was not done. 

The industry responsible for the largest amount of WMPCs produced in 2001 was the alkalies and chlorine industry (SIC code 2812). (The Standard Industrial Classification [SIC] code is a system for categorizing all types of industries that operate in the United States.) The next four industries, in terms of WMPCs produced in 2001, were blast furnaces and steel mills (SIC code 3312), primary nonferrous metals (SIC code 3339), industrial inorganic chemicals (SIC code 2819), and storage batteries (SIC code 3691). Lead is an important by-product in all of these operations, accounting for the very large...

The responses to these challenges fall into three general categories, each resulting in modifications in the drug submissions process. FDA responses will likely fall in the general realm of outsourcing, industry responses will require diversification, and the responses of the various publics will all require enhanced information. ... 

Industry response to the pressures described above—particularly the pressures for individualized medicine and for a new and more complex medical model—will be a diversification of product lines. As NDA and ANDA reviewers require more extensive testing and offer more restricted labels, industry will be forced to offer a brand extension of products. For example, look for a manufacturer of an allergy medication to introduce a variant for men, for women, for children, for older individuals, etc., much as vitamins are currently marketed. 

Corn is the only feedstock that would be available in sufficient supply to support production of 40 million gal of ethanol, given current production levels. The current production of grain corn in California is 920,000 t, while the estimated requirement is for 449,4381 (Table 1). The proportions of supply that would be available for other feedstocks range from 5% for other tree fruit to 25% for raisins. The production, availability, and prices of feedstocks would change with farm-level and industry responses to public policies and market developments that influence the demand for ethanol production.
