Protection population

The assessment endpoint should be not only measurable (at least potentially) but also modelable. Defining a modelable endpoint is likely to require close discussion between an assessor (who knows what they can model) and a risk manager (who knows what they want to protect). Sometimes the assessment endpoint is only indirectly related to the management goal, for example, if the assessment endpoint is a risk to individuals, but the aim is to protect population sustainability. In such cases, qualitative inference will be required to interpret the assessment result. This inference will need to be done jointly by the risk assessor and risk manager. It is likely to involve substantial uncertainty, which will have to be taken into account qualitatively when producing a narrative description of the assessment outcome. This step should be identified as part of the conceptual model. [Pg.13]

Corrosion processes affect many areas of human activity in which metal products are used. In general, as levels of economic development increase, so do costs incurred as a result of corrosion. It is estimated that the costs attributable to the corrosion of metalfic materials amount to 4 percent of the gross domestic product of the developed coxmtries. And this cost, representing a loss of resources, would be even higher if methods of protection against corrosion were not so widely appfied. It is estimated that because of this protection, populations are able to reduce these potential losses by a factor of about 30 percent. [Pg.298]

Ricin has been used to commit murder and kill animals. It captures the interest of both terrorist organizations and those involved in protecting populations from terrorists. It is available in tonne quantities by using inexpensive technologies to extract it in crude form from castor seed meal, a by-product that has a low sale value (Shea and Gottron, 2013). [Pg.785]

Reverse saturable absorption is an increase in the absorption coefficient of a material that is proportional to pump intensity. This phenomenon typically involves the population of a strongly absorbing excited state and is the basis of optical limiters or sensor protection elements. A variety of electronic and molecular reorientation processes can give rise to reverse saturable absorption many materials exhibit this phenomenon, including fuUerenes, phthalocyanine compounds (qv), and organometaUic complexes. [Pg.140]

In each country of the modem world, sugar production and trade play major social, pohtical, and economical roles. In order to regulate and protect export, import, stocks, subsidies, tariffs, etc, an enormous number of laws have been enacted and agreements concluded on sugar, both domestically and internationally. Also, insofar as sugar is a basic staple for a large population, each country keeps a watchhil eye on sugar production, consumption, and price, which vary widely from country to country, as shown in Table 2 (7,8).

Influenza. Although current influenza vaccine (subunit spHt vaccine) has been in use yearly for the elderly, it is not recommended for the general population or infants. Improvements to increase or prolong the immunogenicity, reduce the side-effects (due to egg production procedure), and provide mass protection are stiU being pursued. One approach is to use a five, attenuated vims though cold adaptation. A vaccine has been used in Russia and demonstrated to be safe and efficacious for infants (82). Clinical trials for a similar vaccine are being carried out in the United States (83). [Pg.359]

The radiological hazard of tritium to operating personnel and the general population is controlled by limiting the rates of exposure and release of material. Maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) of radionucHdes were specified in 1959 by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (79). For purposes of control all tritium is assumed to be tritiated water, the most readily assimilated form. The MPC of tritium ia breathing air (continuous exposure for 40 h/wk) is specified as 185 kBq/mL (5 p.Ci/mL) and the MPC for tritium in drinking water is set at 3.7 GBq/mL (0.1 Ci/mL) (79). The maximum permitted body burden is 37 MBq (one millicurie). Whenever bioassay indicates this value has been exceeded, the individual is withdrawn from further work with tritium until the level of tritium is reduced. [Pg.16]
