Respiratory problems

Carbon dioxide is sometimes added to irrigation water, in the same manner as fertilizer ammonia, in hard water regions. Carbon dioxide is also used with other gases in treating respiratory problems and in anesthesia. 

During the 30 years prior to the episode, fogs lasting for more than 3 days had occurred only five times, always in the winter, in 1901, 1911, 1917, 1919, and 1930. Some respiratory problems were also noted in 1911. Industrial activity was at a low level in 1917 and 1919.

Direct exposure to NO can cause respiratory problems. VOCs and NOjj are catalyzed by sunlight to form ground level ozone, often referred to as smog. NO can be generated from either stationary sources or mobile sources. In 1997, the EPA changed the ambient standard for ozone from 0.12 ppm to 0.08 ppm and the applicable test period was increased from I to 8 hours. 

The nurse monitors the blood pressure and respiratory rate every 2 to 5 minutes when die drug is given IV and every 5 to 10 minutes when die drug is given IM. The pulse rate and rhythm are monitored continually by means of the cardiac monitor. The primary health care provider is contacted immediately if tiiere are any changes in the vital signs or die ECG pattern or if respiratory problems or convulsions occur.

Unlike most anxiety disorders, panic disorder leads to a high utilization of general medical services, reflecting the frequency, severity and alarming nature of physical symptoms such as palpitations, gastrointestinal distress, respiratory problems and headaches (Zaubler and Katon, 1998). This can result in extensive investigations and sometimes inappropriate but expensive medications. 

The combustion products from sulfur Impurities In coal are particularly damaging to the environment. In humans, prolonged exposure to sulfur dioxide diminishes lung capacity and aggravates respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Concentrations as low as 0.15 ppm can incapacitate persons with these diseases, and at about 5 ppm everyone experiences breathing difficulties. In 1952 a particularly serious episode of SO2 pollution In London caused approximately 4000 deaths over several days. 

The final emission standard under the BIF regulations limits the unit s output of HCI and chlorine gas (Cl j). These compounds combine with water in the air to form acid rain. They are also a known cause of human respiratory problems. The emission controls are implemented in the same way as the metal emissions, using the tiered approach. The owner/operator has a choice of three tiers with varying focal points. The Tier I and Tier II screening levels for waste feed and stack emission limits are located in Part 266, Appendices II and III.5... 

Studies in animals indicate that acrylonitrile can produce teratogenic effects at doses that have little maternal toxicity, suggesting that pregnant women may also be susceptible. It also seems likely that individuals in poor health or with respiratory problems might be particularly susceptible to acrylonitrile, but there are no data on this point.

Respiratory problems are diagnosed using a spirometer. The patient exhales as hard and as fast as possible into the device. The spirometer measures (1) the total volume exhaled, called the forced vital capacity (FVC), with units in liters (2) the forced expired volume measured at 1 second (FEV,), with units in liters per second (3) forced expiratory flow in the middle range of the vital capacity (FEV 25-75%), measured in liters per second and (4) the ratio of the observed FEVj to FVC X 100 (FEVj/FVC%). 

No studies were located regarding populations that are unusually susceptible to hexachloroethane toxicity. Because the kidney and liver are the primary target tissues, individuals with compromised liver or kidney function would have an increased risk from exposure. Susceptibility to pulmonary infections could be increased by exposure to hexachloroethane vapors and, thus, individuals that suffer from chronic respiratory problems could also have an increased risk from hexachloroethane exposure. 

Recently, the pesticide company experienced two accidents. The first accident was a small fire of a mixture of liquid pressurised gas and liquid pesticide, which resulted in some material damage. The second accident was an instantaneous release of pesticide powder, which resulted in a number of operators requiring treatment for respiratory problems in a local hospital. Management recognised that safety problems had to be addressed. Additionally, a major concern for the company was the high financial penalties which resulted from late deliveries. Both the safety and the reliability of the operational process had to be improved. The management thought that operator errors were the cause of almost all the problems in the process.
