In the Technical Safety Laboratory of Eastman Kodak, the role played by calorimetric methods (such as High Pressue DSC and ARC techniques) in assessing the stability of chemicals and processes, though a central one, is but part of a range of techniques used for this overall purpose. The relations between these methods is discussed and presented in the form of logic flow diagrams.

Many state and federal clinical laboratory (CLIA) programs have included worker safety criteria, and the Canadian Office of Laboratory Security—strengthened in response to the possibility of bioterrorism—has added a laboratory safety division. Based upon these models it seems a reasonable prediction that OSHA will soon launch the process of coordinating and consohdating worker safety laboratory standards into a new and comprehensive code.

The six key questions described in the cooling failure scenario allow us to identify and assess the thermal risks of a chemical process. The first steps allow building a failure scenario, which is easy to understand and serves as a base for the assessment The proposed procedure (Figure 3.6) is based on the separation of severity and probability, taking into account the economic aspects of data determination in a safety laboratory. In a second step, based on the scenario, the criticality index can be determined to help in the choice and design of risk-reducing measures. 

In this chapter, some of these instruments are reviewed. A first section is a general introduction to calorimetric principles. In a second part, some methods commonly used in safety laboratories are reviewed. This is not an exhaustive review of such instruments, but based only on the experience of the author.

The thermal risks of a synthesis step with an exothermal bimolecular reaction (A + B —> P) must be assessed. For this, the required thermal data have to be determined in a safety laboratory equipped with a reaction calorimeter and a DSC. 

Part I gives a general introduction and presents the theoretical, methodological and experimental aspects of thermal risk assessment. The first chapter gives a general introduction on the risks linked to the industrial practice of chemical reactions. The second chapter reviews the theoretical background required for a fundamental understanding of mnaway reactions and reviews the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of chemical reactions. An important part of Chapter 2 is dedicated to the heat balance of reactors. In Chapter 3, a systematic evaluation procedure developed for the evaluation of thermal risks is presented. Since such evaluations are based on data, Chapter 4 is devoted to the most common calorimetric methods used in safety laboratories. 

The beef samples were then hung vertically on stainless steel hooks attached to a motorized track that pulled the beef samples through a model spray cabinet (Kansas State University, Food Safety Laboratory) while spray treatments were applied. Treatments with either the silver compositions of this invention or deionized water were applied to the beef at 20 psi from a distance of 13 cm in the model pressure rinse cabinet for 20 seconds. The spray nozzle (BETE NF0580 303) delivered approximately 20 ml of solution to the surface of the beef sample. The temperature of solutions and treatment application room was approximately 14° C. After treatment, duplicate 3.5 cm2 core samples were randomly drawn from the lateral surface of the beef sample at 0, 20, 60 and 240 minutes. Samples were cultivated and enumerated on selective differential and...

Serum creatinine and BUN, the most common indicators of renal function used in both clinical and preclinical safety laboratory panels, are relatively insensitive markers of injury, particularly for the renal tubules. Urinary measurements of alanine aminopeptidase and A-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) can provide much more sensitivity when nephrotoxicity is a potential safety concern [28,29], These are also suitable for safety monitoring in early-phase human trials if preclinical studies validate such use to monitor product nephrotoxicity.
