Poisons List

The adsorption of potential poisons listed in Table I according to the HSAB concept is discussed in this section. From the information accumulated regarding the modes of interaction of any one of these adsorbates with oxide surfaces, it will be concluded whether a particular molecule may be suitable as an effective specific poison or as a probe molecule for the characterization of certain surface properties. 

The sale of non-medicinal poisons in England, Scotland and Wales is controlled by the Poisons Act 1972, the Poisons Rules 1982 and the Poisons List Order 1982 and amending Orders made to these by statutory instruments. In Northern Ireland, non-medicinal poisons are covered by the Poisons (NI) Order 1976 and the Poisons (NI) Regulations 1983. 

A non-medicinal poison is one included in the Poisons List made under the Poisons Act 1972. No matter how toxic or potent a substance may be it will not be termed a poison unless it is included in the Poisons List. Because an item is listed in the Poisons List this does not preclude it from also having medicinal uses. When the substance is sold for medicinal use then the controls applied are those listed in the Medicines Act 1968 it is only when they are sold for non-medicinal purposes that they are subject to the Poisons Act. 

An alphabetical list of non-medicinal poisons, including details of the Part (see Section 10.1.1 -The Poisons List) and Schedule(s) (see Section 10.1.2) that apply to each poison can be found in the current edition of Medicines, Ethics and Practice - A Guide for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. 

The Poisons Board advises the Home Secretary on matters relating to non-medicinal poisons. The Poisons Board consists of at least 16 members, five of whom are appointed by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and one of whom must be a pharmaceutical manufacturer or wholesaler. The chairman of the board is appointed by the Secretary of State. The purpose of the board is to advise the Secretary of State as to which substances should be included in the Poisons List. 

The Poisons List is the list of substances that are classed as poisons under the Poisons Act and is set out in the Poisons List Order. The list is divided into two parts ... 

Application for inclusion in the local authority s list of persons entitled to sell non-medicinal poisons included in Part II of the Poisons List. 

In the rhodium-based systems, the concentration of the catalyst is kept very low because of the high activity of the catalyst and its high cost. Because the concentration is so low, minor amounts of contaminants can have a major impact on catalyst life. In addition to the poisons listed for cobalt catalysts, the following are of particular importance for rhodium-based systems ... 

Stramonium is listed in Schedule 1—dangerous poisons and Schedule 2—medicinal poisons (containing 0.25% or less of alkaloids calculated as hyoscamine) of the New South Wales Poisons List in Australia. Exceptions are made in preparations for smoking or burning. 

Information about lead poisoning organizations was obtained in large part from a directory published by the Alliance to End Childhood Lead Poisoning (listed in Appendix B under Advocacy). 

NOTE WELL Although these measures were prepared especially for counteracting the poisons listed in Table P-2, they are applicable to all poisons, including those from drugs and household products. 

In addition, solid particles in the feed stream can cause plugging of fixed beds of catalyst. In processing exhaust air streams containing VOCs, the presence of halogens is normally the most significant problem. Particulates, if present, can be filtered from the gas stream before they reach the catalyst, and the other poisons listed are seldom present in significant quantities in such streams. 

List the diseases prescnbed for the payment of disablement benefit, if related to specific occupations. Conditions due to chemical agents, e.g. poisoning by any of a range of chemicals and certain carcinomas, and miscellaneous conditions, e.g. pneumoconiosis, asthma, diffuse mesothelioma, non-mfective dermatitis are included.

The poisons most likely to be encountered in an ammonia plant are those originating in the C02-removal system which precedes the metha-nator. Carry-over of a small amount of liquid into the methanator, which is almost inevitable, is not normally serious. Plant malfunction, however, can sometimes result in large quantities of C02-removal liquor being pumped over the catalyst, and this can be very deleterious. Table I lists the effects of common C02-removal liquors on methanation catalyst activity.

Weinman and Decker list the LD50 values against adult grasshoppers (M. differentia alis) for a number of the more common toxicants, both as contact poisons and as stomach poisons, giving the values shown in Table VI (H). 

Motors support for a long-range scientific study of the poisonous gasoline additive, tetraethyl lead. Besides trouble-shooting for various Du Pont departments, Carothers published 60 papers and was listed as the inventor or coinventor of 69 U.S. patent applications during his nine years at Du Pont. Research and development were so new to American corporations that Carothers assistants drafted and he edited patent applications for Du Pont lawyers. You were supposed to be so on top of the literature that you knew whether this was something new or not.. . . Those patents are really classical scientific papers, Hill explained. Carothers considered himself unfit to be a clerk or inventor, but he dominated Du Pont s patent application process for almost a decade.
