Adhesives - Methyl chloroform has been used extensively by the adhesives manufacturing industry because of its characteristics - it is nonflammable and quick drying, and it does not contribute to local air pollution. One alternative for some applications is water-based adhesives.

EPA regulates 3,3 -dichlorobenzidine under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and has designated 3,3 -dichloro-benzidine as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) (EPA 1994 U S. Congress 1990). The major source category for which the national emissions standards for new stationary sources are applicable to 3,3 -dichlorobenzidine emissions is the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing industry (SOCMl)—equipment leaks (EPA 1994).

Phenolic wastes are one of the most prevalent forms of chemical pollutants in industry today. The major sources of phenolic waste are insulation fiberglass manufacturing, petroleum refineries, textile mills, steel making, plywood, hardboard production, manufacture of organic chemicals, paint stripping, and wood preservatives. Eisenhauer (1964) first studied oxidation of phenolic wastes with Fenton s reagent. It has been demonstrated that the oxidation of phenol involves the intermediate formation of catechol and hydroquinone (Merz and Waters, 1949 Stein and Weiss, 1951 Wieland and... 

The presence of elements known to have adverse health effects in humans such as lead and arsenic is obviously undesirable in food. Environmental sources are the main contributors to contamination of food with most metals and other elements. Some elements (e.g. arsenic) are present naturally but the major sources of other elements (e.g. lead) in the environment are from pollution from industrial and other human activities. The presence of metals and other elements in food can also be the result of contamination from certain agricultural practices (e.g. cadmium from phosphate fertilisers) or manufacturing processes (e.g. tin in canned foods).
