The two levels of NAAQS, primary and secondary, are Hsted in Table 3. Primary standards were set to protect pubHc health within an adequate margin of safety secondary standards, where appHcable, were chosen to protect pubHc welfare, including vegetation. According to the CAA, the scientific bases for the NAAQS are to be reviewed every 5 years so that the NAAQS levels reflect current knowledge. In practice, however, the review cycle takes considerably longer.

Human and environmental welfare for lubricants and their use is addressed in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). These MSDS address toxicology and health concerns based on the components in the lubricant as well as indicating the proper response in case of a spik. Environmental ha2ards of the lubricant are covered on European and Japanese MSDS as shown in Table 5. 

The pharmacist or physician can report any problems experienced with dmg products and medical devices. In cases where the PDA and/or manufacturer finds that a marketed product constitutes an actual or potential threat to the safety and welfare of the pubhc, that product must be withdrawn from the marketplace, ie, recalled. Several classes of recalls exist, depending on the relative danger that the product exhibits. C/ass I dmgs pose a serious health threat and may require withdrawal at the consumer level C/ass II dmgs pose a possible or potential health problem that usually means withdrawal at the pharmacy or wholesaler levels and C/ass III dmgs may present a remote hazard to health and safety.

During machining operations, eye protection is recommended during grinding operations, NIOSH-approved respirators for metal fumes and dust are recommended (177). Fine powder of Co is known to cause dermatitis and pulmonary disorders in humans. Most manufacturers supply safety information with their products (178). These should be followed strictly for the welfare of the personnel on the shop floor. 

Japan. In Japan, registration of dmgs for aquatic species requires the same data as those required for dmgs on other animals. The Ministry of Agriculture, Eorests, and Eisheries and the Ministry of Welfare control the use of chemicals in aquaculture in Japan (17). The preclinical data requirements include product chemistry, toxicity (acute, subacute, special) using rats and mice, safety to target animals, and metaboHsm. The requirements for clinical data include avadabiHty and residues. As of July 1990, more chemicals were registered for aquacultural use in Japan than in any other country (Table 4).
