The modern day scourge of the world is the rampant advance of HIV and AIDS, and many laboratories are working flat out to find a vaccine or a means to prevent the spread of the disease. The obvious way is protected and responsible sex, but people are not easily persuaded of this, particularly in poorer countries.

Once a toller has been selected and any required preliminary confidentiality protection is in place, the client typically shares more detailed information. The toller can then make an informed decision about the economic, technical, and safety aspects involved in bidding the work. If the two parties decide the project will be mutually beneficial, agreements and obligations are negotiated and then formalized in a written contract. Both parties—the client and the toller—have roles in fulfilling the contract and in carrying out their responsibilities to the workers and the public. The purpose of the written contract is to clarify and document those roles and responsibilities to effectively execute, maintain and eventually terminate the project.

State intervention in man s activities to protect the health of the inhabitants goes back to prehistory. The motivation may not have been altogether altruistic the king acted to protect his subjects because he regarded them as his property. Public health protection began for disease control. With industrialization, came the need for control of even more hazardous forces and substances. This extended protection became technological in accident analysis and response. Present efforts in controlling risk, such as from nuclear power, are a continuation of this development. 

Trade secrets may be used in developing the information for the process hazard analysis emergency planning and responses, and compliance audits. Materials that are developed involving trade secrets may be treated as proprietary and may require signed statements for tl protection. 

Provides a coordinated crop protection industry response to the development of resistance in insect and mite pests. During the last decade, IRAC has formed several international working gi oups to provide practical solutions to mite and insect resistance problems within major crops and pesticide groups. 

The fuse is a level detector and is both the sensor and the interrupting device. It is installed in series with the equipment being protected, and it operates by nieltiiig a fusible eleliieiit in response to the current flow. 

Cough is an essential protective reflex response to irritating stimuli in the respiratory tract. It involves the sudden, usually involuntary, expulsion of air from the lungs. It can prevent foreign bodies from entering the lungs, or aid the removal of mucus and irritants from the lungs. 

While in anaphylaxis caused by other frequent elicitors like food and drugs, allergen-specific immunotherapy is not established, immimotherapy with Hymenoptera venoms has been shown to be effective in three prospective controlled trials (table 4) [38-40] and also in a number of studies where patients were submitted to a sting challenge with the responsible insect during venom immimotherapy (table 5) [44]. While over 90% of vespid venom-allergic patients are fully protected and do not develop any... 

Platinum is used as a catalyst for nitric and sulphuric acid production, in petroleum refining and in catalytic mufflers to control air pollution. Platinum salts can cause respiratory complaints, asthma, and platinosis , an allergic response. Allergic dermatitis may also result from exposure to soluble platinum salts and once subjects have been sensitized it generally precludes continued occupational exposure at any level. The 8 hr TWA OEL for platinum metal is 5 mg/m but for soluble platinum salts it is only 0.002 mg/m. Handling precautions must include containment where possible, ventilation, personal protection, and the screening out of individuals who have become sensitized. 

From October 1982 to October 1983, the Emergency Planning and Response Branch of Region 7 of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and its contractors collected approximately 8,000 environmental samples for analysis of 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin...
