One complication of such an approach results from the fact that the electrode impedance is represented by a two-terminal network, while the real three-electrode electrochemical cell connected to the potentiostat involves a three-terminal network. Fletcher [16] developed a representation for a three-terminal electrochemical cell (Figure 8-7A) by its two-terminal electrical equivalent for the purposes of analysis of its electrical responses, identification of sources of the artifacts, and optimal experimental conditions for their minimization. In this analysis all impedances of the three electrodes were approximated by simple resistances, and the coupling between the lines by capacitances as R R —resistances of working, reference, and counter electrodes—and —capacitance between working and reference,... 

The interaction between nuclei splits resonances into multiple peaks, the number and relative intensity of which also assist in qualitative identification of the proton responsible for the absorption. 

Containers less than bulk must bear the red diamond-shaped "FLAMMABLE LIQUID" label. Bulk containers must display the red "FLAMMABLE" placard in association with the UN1090 identification. Fire is the main ha2ard in emergencies resulting from spills. Some manufacturers provide transportation emergency response information. A listing of properties and ha2ard response information for acetone is pubHshed by the U.S.

Researchers at the MoneU Center (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) are using a variety of electrophysical and biochemical techniques to characterize the ionic currents produced in taste and olfactory receptor cells by chemical stimuli. These studies are concerned with the identification and pharmacology of the active ion channels and mode of production. One of the techniques employed by the MoneU researchers is that of "patch clamp." This method aUows for the study of the electrical properties of smaU patches of the ceU membrane. The program at MoneU has determined that odors stimulate intraceUular enzymes to produce cycUc adenosine 3, 5 -monophosphate (cAMP). This production of cAMP promotes opening of the ion channel, aUowing cations to enter and excite the ceU. MoneU s future studies wiU focus on the connection of cAMP, and the production of the electrical response to the brain. The patch clamp technique also may be a method to study the specificity of receptor ceUs to different odors, as weU as the adaptation to prolonged stimulation (3). 

Risk characterization is defined as the integration of the data and analysis of the above three components to determine the likelihood that humans wiU. experience any of the various forms of toxicity associated with a substance. When the exposure data are not available, hypothetical risk is characterized by the integration of hazard identification and dose—response evaluation data. 

Liquid Ghromatography/Mass Spectrometry. Increased use of Hquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (Ic/ms) for stmctural identification and trace analysis has become apparent. Thermospray Ic/ms has been used to identify by-products in phenyl isocyanate precolumn derivatization reactions (74). Five compounds resulting from the reaction of phenyUsocyanate and the reaction medium were identified two from a reaction between phenyl isocyanate and methanol, two from the reaction between phenyl isocyanate and water, and one from the polymerisation of phenyl isocyanate. There were also two reports of derivatisation to enhance either the response or stmctural information from thermospray Ic/ms for linoleic acid hpoxygenase metabohtes (75) and for cortisol (76).
