This forecast system evolved from a protot3q)e run with lower resolution (T21) that started in November 2000. Then it switched to higher resolution (T42) with a spin-up time of 3 months for the global distribution of chemical species. Daily forecasts and archived output data have been available on a web page at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) since 1 January 2002.

Large-scale SCP production processes for growing yeasts of the genus Candida from hydrocarbon substrates were developed by British Petroleum Co., Ltd. and Kanegafuchi Chemical Industry, Ltd. of Japan (57). However, the 100,000-t/yr capacity plants based on these processes, and constmcted in Sardinia and Italy, were abandoned because of regulatory agency questions regarding residual hydrocarbon contents of the products (2,3).

When MRLs are set under Japanese law, the Japanese authorities will consider the Codex MRLs for international harmonization. However, Japan has set original food consumption amounts and GAPs. In this respect, the Japanese regulatory agency retains the rights to establish original values for the MRLs for each commodity based on toxicological exposure assessment. 

Water for injection (WFI) is the most widely used solvent for parenteral preparations. The USP requirements for WFI and purified water have been recently updated to replace the traditional wet and colorimetric analytical methods with the more modern and cost-effective methods of conductivity and total organic carbon. Water for injection must be prepared and stored in a manner to ensure purity and freedom from pyrogens. The most common means of obtaining WFI is by the distillation of deionized water. This is the only method of preparation permitted by the European Pharmacopoeia (EP). In contrast, the USP and the Japanese Pharmacopeias also permit reverse osmosis to be used. The USP has also recently broadened its definition of source water to include not only the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency National Primary Drinking Water Standards, but also comparable regulations of the European Union or Japan.
