Through design transportation

Although the prevention through design standard applies to occupational hazards and risks, the previously given definitions of acceptable risk and ALARP apply to all hazards-related exposures (fire protection, transportation safety, environmental safety, etc.). 

The aim of breaking up a thin film of liquid into an aerosol by a cross flow of gas has been developed with frits, which are essentially a means of supporting a film of liquid on a porous surface. As the liquid flows onto one surface of the frit (frequently made from glass), argon gas is forced through from the undersurface (Figure 19.16). Where the gas meets the liquid film, the latter is dispersed into an aerosol and is carried as usual toward the plasma flame. There have been several designs of frit nebulizers, but all work in a similar fashion. Mean droplet diameters are approximately 100 nm, and over 90% of the liquid sample can be transported to the flame. 

Immersion-type extractors have been made continuous through the inclusion of screw conveyors to transport the soHds. The Hildebrandt immersion extractor (18) employs a sequence of separate screw conveyors to move soHds through three parts of a U-shaped extraction vessel. The helix surface is perforated so that solvent can pass through the unit in the direction countercurrent to the flow of soHds. The screw conveyors rotate at different speeds so that the soHds are compacted as they travel toward the discharge end of the unit. Alternative designs using fewer screws are also available. 

Antimony may enter the human body through the consumption of meats, vegetables, and seafood which all contain about 0.2—1.1 ppb antimony. Disposal of Antimony. Antimony and its compounds have been designated as priority pollutants by the EPA (35). As a result users, transporters, generators, and processors of antimony-containing material must comply with regulations of the Eederal Resource Conservative and Recovery Act (RCRA).
