Tetrachloroethene (Concise International Chemical Assessment Documents) pdf
Description

Tetrachloroethene is used mainly in the dry cleaning of textiles, as a chemical intermediate and in metal degreasing. This report evaluates the available scientific literature on the health and environmental effects of tetrachloroethene based on selected national and regional evaluations. Of key interest is the relevance of several types of tumours included by tetrachloroethene in rats and mice. The report goes on to establish the criteria for setting tolerable intakes and concentrations taking into consideration the potential carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, kidney, liver, and reproductive/developmental toxicity and cancer. Environmental effects are assessed for terrestrial and aquatic organisms sediment-dwelling organisms and microorganisms in sewerage treatment processes. In addition, the risks of harm to plants from air emissions of tetrachloroethene are discussed. Uncertainties in the risk assessment are set out for both human health and the environment.

Phenylhydrazine (Concise International Chemical Assessment Documents) pdf
Description

A concise assessment of the risks to human health and the environment posed by exposure to phenylhydrazine, a compound used worldwide as a chemical intermediate in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and chemical industries. Phenylhydrazine is released predominantly to water, where it is readily degraded. Although laboratory studies indicate that the compound is toxic to aquatic organisms, the risk under field conditions is expected to be low.

Explaining 'Unexplained Illnesses' pdf
Description

Discover the answer to the mysteries of these debilitating illnesses

Explaining “Unexplained Illnesses” provides long-sought explanations for the properties of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), fibromyalgia, and posttraumatic stress disorder. This groundbreaking book examines common symptoms and signs; short-term stressors such as infection, chemical exposure, physical trauma, and severe psychological stress; why people are often diagnosed as having more than one of these illnesses, and approaches for treating the cause of each disease, rather than the symptoms. The book presents a detailed and well-supported mechanism (the NO/ONOO- cycle) that provides consistent explanations for many of the puzzling elements of these diseases.

At least a dozen scientists have proposed that chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, and fibromyalgia must share a common mechanism; others have suggested posttraumatic stress diso Download Explaining 'Unexplained Illnesses' for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Skin Sensitization in Chemical Risk Assessment pdf
Description

This Harmonization Project Document presents the conclusions of an IPCS Workshop on Skin Sensitization in Chemical Risk Assessment. The workshop focused on the question of methods for dose-response assessment, to evaluate the relative ability of a chemical to induce sensitization in the skin, and hence inform risk assessment for humans. In addition this publication includes a series of short articles on this topic by leading experts in the field.

The conclusions of the workshop cover such aspects as the nature and utility for risk assessment of the data produced by non-animal test methods (such as quantitative structure-activity relationships), in vitro testing approaches, animal test methods, and epidemiological studies. While traditional animal test methods used for identification and regulation of skin sensitizers have focused on determining whether or not a substance is a sensitizer, this report describes the use of tests for deriving more informative potency information Download Skin Sensitization in Chemical Risk Assessment for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

WHO Human Health Risk Assessment Toolkit pdf
Description

The purpose of the WHO Human Health Risk Assessment Toolkit: Chemical Hazards is to provide its users with guidance to identify, acquire and use the information needed to assess chemical hazards, exposures and the corresponding health risks in their given health risk assessment contexts at local and/or national levels. The Toolkit provides road maps for conducting a human health risk assessment, identifies information that must be gathered to complete an assessment and provides electronic links to international resources from which the user can obtain information and methods essential for conducting the human health risk assessment.

By doing so, the Toolkit also raises awareness and promotes the use of globally accepted risk assessment information that has been developed by international organizations such as WHO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations Environment Programme, the Codex Alimentarius Commission and OECD for use in countr Download WHO Human Health Risk Assessment Toolkit for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Playing with Fire pdf
Description

The average American baby is born with 10 fingers, 10 toes, and the highest recorded levels of flame retardants among infants in the world. How could it possibly be, in a country as developed and medically advanced as the Unites States, that children are already contaminated at birth with such disturbingly high levels of toxic chemicals? The truth lies in the greed and deception of two powerful industries—Big Tobacco and chemical manufacturers. For years, these industries have been supporting systems that pack toxic chemicals into couches, chairs, and many other household products. In addition, they have waged misleading campaigns resulting in the proliferation of these chemicals, which do not even work as promised.

In a ground-breaking piece of investigative journalism by the Chicago Tribune, Playing with Fire exposes the realities about the ineffectiveness and potential health risks caused by the flame retardants that are pervasive in American homes.

Legionella Pneumophila pdf
Description

Since the discovery of Legionella pneumophila in 1976, its significance increased rapidly in terms of public health and it became an important pathogen. With the discovery of a new kind of species, the life cycle of Legionella pneumophila has been investigated and interestingly, it was found that humans are an accidental host of the life cycle of these bacteria. L. pneumophila constitute an important part of community originated cases of atypical pneumonia and travel associated diseases, so it is important that there exists strict control in man-made habitats. Moreover, understanding the biology of L. pneumophila is critical for the development of more effective combat methods. During the preparation of this book, a large number of valuable works were examined and all aspects of L. pneumophila were introduced. The different features of this interesting microbe's journey from the existence in the environment to the diseases caused in humans were discussed and the prevention methods also Download Legionella Pneumophila for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
