Menace

The blowdown valves on the boilers were operated by a special key, which had a lug on it so that it could not be removed when the valve was open. It was therefore impossible, in theory, for two blowdown valves to be open at the same time. However, the boiler fitter kept and jealously guarded a private key w ithout a lug and had used this one to open the blowdown valve on the boiler that was under repair. He forgot to tell the process foreman what he had done or to close the valve. The presence of this key would appear to have been of little moment as long as the correct procedure of complete isolation was maintained, but as soon as it was departed from, the additional key became a menace, which eventually enabled the present tragedy to occur, the accident report said. [Pg.236]

Storage facilities for raw materials and intermediate and finished products may be located in isolated or adjoining areas. Hazardous materials should be isolated because they menace life and property when stored in large quantities. [Pg.170]

The second parasitic disease we want to consider is sleeping sickness, or African trypanosomiasis, as it is also known. Sleeping sickness results from an infection by protozoa called trypanosomes that are closely related to Leishmania, and, like leishmaniasis, sleeping sickness is spread by flies. On a more general level, however, the two diseases seem quite distinct. Leishmaniasis takes several forms, only one of which is fatal, but untreated sleeping sickness invariably leads to death. Leishmaniasis is a menace in much of the... [Pg.79]

Flies and mosquitoes are vectors for a number of other diseases that constitute significant menaces to public health, but we do not yet know what role chemical signals play in all of them. Where natural chemicals are important, much additional research will be essential to establish whether they offer realistic approaches to managing these afflictions. The results with leishmaniasis and African trypanosomiasis indicate that such research can both increase our understanding of how fly vectors live and also lead to practical measures for fighting the diseases they carry. [Pg.85]

Almost perfectly concealed, disguised larvae are free to glut themselves on juicy aphids. Undisguised larvae receive quite different treatment, of course, for the ants immediately perceive them as a menace. If a naked larva is lucky, the ants only throw it out of the alder. Aggressive ants may bite larvae or even kill them. A... [Pg.112]
