Mitigation defined

The Food, Dmg and Cosmetics Act defines a cosmetic as a substance intended to be mbbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise appHed to the human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance. A dmg is defined as an article intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans or other animals, and articles intended to affect the stmcture or any function of the body of humans or other animals. 

Because of the inexactly defined conditions causing metal dusting, mitigation methods will not be the same for each occurrence. Each problem must be carefully studied to determine the most effective and economic measures that will be compatible with the process stream. 

FDCA defines drugs as articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease and articles (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body. Therefore, a product becomes a drug based upon its intended use and not upon its composition or source [26]. A pharmacist may violate the FDCA if he or she recommends and sells a dietary supplement for the treatment of a particular disease—the pharmacist would be indicating the product as an unapproved drug. However, if the pharmacist is not selling the product, the FDCA would not be violated. 

In most cases, however, the design will not be inherently safe so that measures and/or controls will have to be introduced into the design. Two types of safety measures are defined (1) preventive, and (2) defensive (protective or mitigating). 

The first step in protection against explosions is to identify if they have the possibility of occurring at the facility and to acknowledge that fact. This may be for both internal and open air explosions. Once it is confirmed an estimate of their probability and severity should be defined by a risk analysis. If the risk level is indicated as unacceptable additional measures for prevention and mitigation should be implemented. 

A radiopharmaceutical is a chemical containing a radioactive isotope for use in humans for the purpose of diagnosis, mitigation, or treatment of a disease. Isotopes may be defined as atoms having the same atomic number, but different masses. Isotopes may be stable and unstable. The unstable isotopes are radioactive. 

In tenns of waste definition, there are three basic approaches (as it pertains to petrolenm, petroleum products, and nonpetroleum chemicals) to defining petro-lenm or a petroleum product as hazardous (1) a quahtative description of the waste by origin, type, and constitnents (2) classification by characteristics based on testing procednres and (3) classification as a result of the concentration of specific chemical snbstances (Chapter 1). In addition, there are recommended protocols that mnst occnr as a prelnde to cleanup of emissions and the mitigation of fntnre releases (Table 9.1). 

Qualification of a capillary electrophoresis instrument is performed using failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis as the risk analysis tool. The instrument is broken down into its component modules and the potential failures of those components identified. The potential effect of those failures is defined and the risk characterized. Any current evaluation of those failures is identified and any recommended actions to mitigate the risk defined.
