The limits are very low at fractions of parts per billion. A similar table exists for mercury emission limits (EC directive 84/156/EEC) but with even stricter emission limits. In the UK cadmium legislation has recently become stricter, in line with the EC initiative. December 1993 saw the publication, in the UK, of the Department of the Environment Process Guidance Notes (IPR 4/22) related to the manufacture of zinc, lead, antimony, arsenic, beryllium, gallium, indium, palladium, platinum, selenium, tellurium, thallium and their compounds. The publication tabulates potential sources of metal emission and places a large emphasis on effective and efficient waste minimisation techniques. The document sets the scene for stricter legislation on metal emissions in the UK.

As expected, these limits have not been met in the UK. The pertinent act for the UK is the Environmental Protection Act 2990 Pt 1, with specific guidance notes for the Rubber Industry, Process Guidance Notes 6/28 (92) which applies to companies using over 5 tonnes of solvent per year. All participants at the Montreal Conference drew up their own legislation, which can be determined by the reader from their own country s controlling bodies for environmental control.

Finally, write some guidance notes to a student on your course about how to conduct interviews, and what issues might arise. This time you will write in the second person, addressing your reader as you and the exercise will further clarify issues about the process for you. You might also want to refer to these notes later for further work.

The conditions in an IPC authorisation cover emissions to water, land and air and extend to the prevention of persistent offensive odours at or beyond the boundary of the premises. The standards demanded by the authorisation include the application of the best available techniques not entailing excessive costs (BATNEEC). This is a new enforcement concept seen as equivalent to so far as is reasonably practicable of the Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974 (HSWA). The Environment Agency has produced numerous process- and sector-specific guidance notes on Part A Processes. ... 

HSE s previously-mentioned guidance note, HSG85, includes advice on the decision-making process as to whether work should be done live or dead. 

Fig. 2.1.4. a Radiofrequency ablation RFA) of an HCC under ultrasound guidance. Note the bright reflection from the shaft of the electrode the tumour presents a low echogenicity. b Early during the ablation process micro gas bubbles emerge out of the ablation volume masking the tumour. Unfortunately, the volume where the gas bubbles can be appreciated does not correlate very well with ablation volume...

There is one additional general requirement included in Directive 75/318/EEC as amended, which affects all parts of the pharmaceutical section of the dossier. This is a blanket requirement that all analytical methods are to have been adequately validated and the validation data included in the submission. This applies to all analytical methods including those used in connection with preclinical and clinical parts of the dossier. Additional guidance on how to meet these requirements is included in the two notes for guidance developed on the topic of analytical validation through the ICH process, available at the EMEA web site or at the Commission s web site, mentioned earlier.

With that said process analytical chemistry (PAC) has been commonplace in several industries, even the pharmaceutical industry, prior to 2004. Riebe and Eustace differentiate PAC from analytical chemistry with one word location. PAC is typically spectroscopy, separations or chemometrics, as apphed either at-, in- or on-line to manufacturing. Several comprehensive application reviews of process analytical chemistry have been published in Analytical Chemistry since 1987. " In one of these reviews Workman et al. comment that PAT has continued to evolve as a more appropriate term than PAC while noting PAC has existed since 1911 but is just now finding common usage. The scope of PAT is much broader than that of PAC as the FDA guidance outlines the following desired state for manufacturing ...
