Tribes

The collection and use of lac by Indian aboriginal tribes probably predates recorded history. Ancient Greek and Roman writers were aware of lac. By the late fifteenth century, European craftsmen were attracted to the use of lac as a finish for cabinets and other furniture because of its gloss and luster. 

One of the reasons the tribes of early history were nomadic was to move periodically away from the stench of the animal, vegetable, and human wastes they generated. When the tribesmen learned to use fire, they used it for millennia in a way that filled the air inside their living quarters with the products of incomplete combustion. Examples of this can still be seen today in some of fhe more primitive parts of the world. After its invention, the chimney removed the combustion products and cooking smells from the living quarters, but for centuries the open fire in the fireplace caused its emission to be smoky. In ad 61 the Roman philosopher Seneca reported thus on conditions in Rome ... 

Prior to the eastern adventures of Linschoeten and Tradescant, the sailors of Columbus had discovered the natives of Central America playing with lumps of natural mbber. These were obtained, like gutta percha, by coagulation from a latex the first recorded reference to natural mbber was in Valdes La historia natural y general de las Indies, published in Seville (1535-1557). In 1731 la Condamine, leading an expedition on behalf of the French government to study the shape of the earth, sent back from the Amazon basin mbber-coated cloth prepared by native tribes and used in the manufacture of waterproof shoes and flexible bottles. 

Copies of the report sent to the State or Indian tribe should be the "sanitized, non-trade secret version of the report, unless the State specifically requires otherwise. The report submitted to EPA should include both trade-secret and non-trade-secret versions. 

In addition, you must send a copy of the report to the State in which the facility is located ( State" refers to State of the U.S., the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and any other territory or possession over which the U.S. has jurisdiction). Refer to Appendix Q for the appropriate State address for your submission. If your facility is located on Indian land, send a copy to the Chief Executive Officer of the applicable Indian tribe. Some tribes have entered into a cooperative agreement with the State, in which this case. Form R submissions should be sent to the entity designated In the cooperative agreement. 

Rotenone is a common insecticide that strongly inhibits the NADH-UQ reductase. Rotenone is obtained from the roots of several species of plants. Tribes in certain parts of the world have made a practice of beating the roots of trees along riverbanks to release rotenone into the water, where it paralyzes fish and makes them easy prey. Ptericidin, Amytal, and other barbiturates, mercurial...

Discharge tube lamps for laboratory work usually consist of three basic parts the tribe to contain the discharge, the electrodes, and a water cooling system. Many diflerent types of lamp have been designed, and while a complete review is outside the scope of this book a few of the more simple ones may be described. 

In the United States, the threshold mercury concentration for commercial sale of fish is determined by the Food and Drag Administration, whereas consumption advice for recreational (noncommercial) fish is developed by individual states and tribes. Mercury data collected for development of fish-consumption advisories are typically from analyses of filets (axial muscle tissue, with or without skin) for total mercury, with concentrations expressed on a wet-weight basis. Analysis of filets for total mercury yields a valid estimate of MeHg concentration (Grieb et al. 1990 Bloom 1992), whether the analyzed sample consists of a large filet or a small mass of tissue obtained with a biopsy needle (Cizdziel et al. 2002 Baker et al. 2004).
