The DNT study assesses a number of parameters in offspring. and to a limited extent in their dams, that could be utilized to provide a point of depanure for noncancer risk a.sse.ssmcnt calculations (Makris ei tiL, 1998), The study is not designed to identify the exact timing or duration of the exposure that results in an adverse developmental event. However, conservative assumptions are utilized in the absence of specific pharmacokinetic or experimental data that utilize limed dosing to examine specific critical windows of developmental susceptibility. These assumptions arc that adverse outcomes in the offspring could have...

Addition of limestone or dolomite has been carried out on a number of acidified lakes in Norway and Sweden. Almost always lime-dosing has to be repeated if the increase in pH is to be maintained. Some success in re-establishing fishing populations has been achieved by this method but there are potential difficulties and dangers ... 

Wetland liming. Wetland liming implies a considerably improved duration compared to lake liming, better conditions for biological life, e.g., for chironomid larvae and ephemeroptera in streams and rivers, reduced transport of metals (e.g., Fe, Cu and Al) into the lake, and possibly also reduced the load of Hg and Cs to the lake. The following lime doses in Table 9.4 were applied. 

The introduction of lime dosing in 1914 had an immediate and beneficial effect on water-lead levels in the area. In particular, the average water-lead level in Milford and Hopedale fell from 0.27 to 0.1 ppm. Although the 0.1 level exceeds the modern EPA standard by a factor between 6 and 7, it was well below the threshold considered safe around 1910 and 1920." ... 

Watt et al. (2000). One study of Glasgow women, conducted after the lime dosing began, found that variation in water-lead levels in Glasgow homes could not explain the variation in neural tube defects across the city. See MacDonell, Campbell, and Stone (2000). 

The potential for noncarcinogcnic health effects is evaluated by comparing iui exposure level over a specified lime period (c.g., lifetime) with a reference dose derived for a similar exposure period. The ratio of exposure to toxicity in called a liazard quotient and, when it is greater tlien unity tlierc is a higher level of concern for potential noncancer effects.

Scale prevention methods include operating at low conversion and chemical pretreatment. Acid injection to convert COs to CO2 is commonly used, but cellulosic membranes require operation at pH 4 to 7 to prevent hydrolysis. Sulfuric acid is commonly used at a dosing of 0.24 mg/L while hydrochloric acid is to be avoided to minimize corrosion. Acid addition will precipitate aluminum hydroxide. Water softening upstream of the RO By using lime and sodium zeolites will precipitate calcium and magnesium hydroxides and entrap some silica. Antisealant compounds such as sodium hexametaphosphate, EDTA, and polymers are also commonly added to encapsulate potential precipitants. Oxidant addition precipitates metal oxides for particle removal (converting soluble ferrous Fe ions to insoluble ferric Fe ions).

Chinese hamster ovary cells. The number of aberrant metaphases increased in cultures with 15 mL tobacco extract per milliliter of growth media Water extract of the dried leaf, administered to mice at a dose of 9.40 g/kg, 6 days a week for 10 months, was active on bone marrow. A combination of Piper betle, Areca catechu, and Nicotiana tabacum was used . Seed, administered orally to adults with oral cancer and oral submucosal fibrosis and to healthy chewers, was active. An average of 6 quids of tobacco leaf, Areca nuts, and lime were chewed daily T . ...

Dosing with alkali (usually hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2), and less frequently caustic soda (NaOH)), which serve both to raise the pH (thus lowering the solubility of most problematic metals) and to supply OH ions for the rapid precipitation of metal hydroxide solids.
