Regulatory Sources

There are many federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances that influence management of hazardous metal waste. These include

These moves are welcome because they help to ascribe ownership and responsibility, and give a chance for more equal representation from commercial, academic and regulatory sources. 

Clean Room Standards and Room Classification Clean room technology is the most typical feature of aseptic manufacture. The major regulatory sources of guidance to appropriate technology and air standards for aseptic filling [2,3,4]... 

One of the reasons equity indices are so popular is that the prices used to calculate them are from an independent and a quasi-regulatory source. Independent indices also make index and bond level data available from multiple sources. This encourages the development of afterindex products including derivatives, as there are multiple dealers active in the market and the resulting competition is good for all participants. 

Through comparison with the selection bases identified in Section 3.1.1.1, the following regulatory sources have been found to contain numerically-expressed criteria or limits which may appropriately form top-level regulatory criteria ... 

It should be recpgnized that these sources, in addition to stating numerical criteria or limits, may contain additional guidance or direction on how the criteria or limits should be implemented or met. This guidance is not considered appropriate as top-level regulatory criteria as it does not meet the bases identified in Section 3.1.1.1. Rather, only the numerical consequence or risk values contained within the above regulatory sources are candidates for inclusion. 

For those regulatory sources that were found to contain criteria or limits found appropriate for selection as Top-Level Regulatory Criteria, the comparison made for each against the selection bases listed in Section 3.1.1.1 is discussed below. 

Research in physiology carried out in the 1930s established that the lipid fraction of semen contains small amounts of substances that exert powerful effects on smooth mus cle Sheep prostate glands proved to be a convenient source of this material and yielded a mixture of structurally related substances referred to collectively as prostaglandins We now know that prostaglandins are present m almost all animal tissues where they carry out a variety of regulatory functions...

In general, nonconventional protein foods must be competitive with conventional plant and animal protein sources on the bases of cost delivered to the consumer, nutritional value to humans or animals, functional value in foods, sensory quality, and social and cultural acceptability. Also, requirements of regulatory agencies in different countries for freedom from toxins or toxic residues in single-cell protein products, toxic glycosides in leaf protein products, pathogenic microorganisms, heavy metals and toxins in fish protein concentrates, or inhibitory or toxic peptide components in synthetic peptides must be met before new nonconventional food or feed protein products can be marketed. 

Spill Prevention and Detection. It is far better to prevent a leak or a spik than to clean one. The fundamental rule of leak and spik prevention is to reduce the possibkity for contamination by directing resources as close to the source as possible (Fig. 11). In addition to increasing the effectiveness of a spik and leak prevention program, the costs are lower if the focus is placed on preventing the occurrence in the first place. Regulatory trend, however, is to requite methods that respond to leaks after they occur. In addition to being more costly, this type of requirement is often a disincentive to prevent the leaks in the first place, because of the additional cost. 

Drinking water suppHed to carbonated soft drink manufacturing faciUties from private or municipal sources must comply with all regulatory requirements. Treated water must meet all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency primary maximum contaminant levels and may also be subject to additional state requirements. Treated water is routinely analyzed for taste, odor, appearance, chlorine, alkalinity, iron, pH, total dissolved soHds, hardness, and microbiological contamination. 

Several countries supply monazite concentrates for the world market. Extensive deposits along the coast of western AustraUa are worked for ilmenite and are the primary source of world monazite. Other regions of AustraUa, along with India and Brazil, also supply the mineral. Because monazite contains thorium [7440-29-1], India and Brazil have embargoed its export for many years. In the United States, commerce in the mineral is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
