Sanitary units

Interesting areas of application are not only hand dryers, soap dispensers or entire sanitary units in public washroom facilities, but in general articles that come into contact with bacteria and other microorganisms and that need to be sterile. These include hospital beds, medical treatment chairs or computer keyboards in public offices. 

Unpasteurized orange and grapefmit juices also are increasingly popular products in the United States. Emit must be extracted under strict sanitary conditions and the juice kept just above 0°C during its approximately 17 day shelf life. Year round juice supply is difficult because long-term storage of fmit or unpasteurized juice is not feasible. 

The physical properties of the reinforced polyester product made from chopped glass are Hsted in Table 1. The chemical resistance varies according to the composition but is generally good. Its principal uses in building products are for sanitary ware, eg, tub-shower units, and for panels, especially translucent or cement-filled types for roofing and walls of commercial or industrial buildings. 

Sanitary ware, including tubs, showers, combined units, basins, and toilet tank, may be made of thermoformed ABS or acryHc sheet, molded glass-fiber-reinforced polyester, or cast acryHc resins. The glass-polyester type dominates the tub/shower market. It is possible to install the units as a two-component system, assembled in place. Gel coats may be of thermoformed decorative acryHc skins. To reduce the smoke generated by fire, methyl... 

As in Europe, air pollution research activity expanded tremendously in the United States during these three decades. The headquarters of federal research activity was at the Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center of the PHS in Cincinnati, Ohio, during the early years of the period and at the National Environmental Research Center in Triangle Park, North Carolina, at the end of the period.

Pinworm is a helminHi infection that is universally common most oHier helminth infections are predomi-lianHy found in countries or areas of the world that lack proper sanitary facilities. Malaria is rare in the United States, but it is sometimes seen in individuals who have traveled to or lived in areas where this disease is a healtii problem. The first antimalarial drug, quinine, is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. Amebiasis is seen Hiroughout the world, but it is less common in developed countries where sanitary facilities prevent Hie spread of the causative organism.

In the United States, electrical and electronic appliances, when old and considered to be wastes, are sent to sanitary landfill sites for dismantling, separation, resource recovery, and disposal. Commercial companies are getting formed for the waste handling, packaging, transportation, resource recovery, and disposition operations, aiming at profit-making.1-3 5-11... 

The use of pesticides in stored products in tropical countries cannot be separated from the broader field of economics and engineering. In order to use more pesticides efficiently, storage structures must be built. They, in turn, must be suited to the needs of the country and located so that they may be used economically. The jute bag is a poor, but costly storage unit. Its cost should be compared with steel or concrete over a period of 30 or 40 years. With improved facilities, a steady increase in the use of pesticides will be seen. Management must be improved also to install sanitary practices along with efficient and sensible use of pesticides. Because of the distances involved, freight rates are important and because of the small dosages required, methyl bromide is favored thereby. 

Seeking to establish dialogues with Central and South America, the USP in 1905 responded to a request for a Spanish edition of the Pharmacopeia by contracting with Dr. Jose Guillermo Diaz, Dean and Professor of the College of Pharmacy of the University of Havana, Cuba. Support for this project may have come from a resolution adopted by the Second International Sanitary Convention of the American Republics in 1905, which read in part [3] Resolved, that a translation of this United States Pharmacopoeia into the Spanish language would prove of great benefit to the medical profession and pharmacists in each of the republics represented in this Convention. ... 

The discussion of improved sanitary remediation systems is by no means limited to the Third World. In rural areas of the United States, bacterial contamination of water supplies occasionally makes headlines. 

One comment indicated concern that a long-standing participation by the United States Public Health Service in the 3-A Sanitary Standards (for dairy and related food industries) is not mentioned in the text of the draft policy. The comment also stated that it is necessary that, as international agreements anticipate trade and importation of equipment, compliance with 3-A Sanitary Standards should be applied by reference to assure receipt of acceptable equipment.
