The case studies here presented demonstrate issues of concern and solutions for the sustainable management of natural resources across sectors, and the positive impacts policy...

All exposure determinations and risk assessments ultimately depend on accurate chemical analyses, and therefore some critical aspects of analysis for 2,4-D residues have been...

Acrylonitrile is a colourless, volatile, chemically reactive liquid; it does not occur as a natural product. The monomer is used world-wide, on a large scale, in the manufacture...

Styrene (ethenylbenzene) is a commercially important chemical used in the production of polymers, copolymers, and reinforced plastics. Exposure mainly occurs in industries and...

In this report the more general considerations of environmental behaviour of several radionuclides are discussed, including sources, transport to man and dosimetry. The...

Titanium is a grey metal with an atomic number of 22 and a relative atomic mass of 47.9. It is extremely resistant to corrosion and, in the form of a powder or dust, is highly...

This document comprises a review of data, which are concerned with the effects of ultrasound exposure on biological systems, and are pertinent to the evaluation of health risks...

The major sources of exposure to chlorine and hydrogen chloride that are of significance for human health are found in industry. Both chlorine and hydrogen chloride are...

The purpose of this document is to review and evaluate available information on the biological effects of some petroleum products, and to provide a scientific basis for...

Hydrogen sulfide is a colourless gas with a characteristic odour that is soluble in various liquids including water, alcohol, ether, and solutions of amines, alkali carbonates,...

Arsenic is a ubiquitous element with metalloid properties. Its chemistry is complex and there are many different compounds of both inorganic and organic arsenic. In nature, it...

Manganese, Mn (atomic number Z = 25; relative atomic mass A r = 54.938) is an element of the VIIb group of the periodic table of elements, together with technetium and rhenium....

Microwave and radiofrequency (RE) radiation constitute part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum. This document is concerned with frequencies lying between 105 and 3 × 1011 Hz...

To monitor the effects of coastal development and to apply coastal resource management recommendations to the State of Bahrain, an inventory of the distribution and condition of...

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) occurs from both natural and artificial sources. The sun is the principal natural source. The known effects of UVR on man may be...

Carbon and oxygen combine to form either carbon monoxide (CO) (incomplete combustion) or carbon dioxide (CO,) (complete combustion). Whereas carbon dioxide is inert, carbon...

Noise is considered to be any unwanted sound that may adversely affect the health and wellbeing of individuals or populations. Physically, sound is a mechanical disturbance...

The present document contains an evaluation of health risks associated with four classes of mycotoxins. Aflatoxins are treated in most detail because more is known about them...

The purpose of this document is to review and evaluate available information on the biological effects of sulfur oxides and suspended particulate matter including suspended...

In the context of this report, photochemical oxidants are understood to include ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and peroxyacylnitrates. Many other compounds have been proposed as...
