Evaluation and use of epidemiological evidence for environmental health risk assessment: WHO guideline document

Abstract: Environmental health risk assessment is increasingly being used in the development of environmental health policies, public health decision making, the establishment of environmental regulations, and research planning. The credibility of risk assessment depends, to a large extent, on the strength of the scientific evidence on which it is based. It is, therefore, imperative that the processes and methods used to evaluate the evidence and estimate health risks are clear, explicit, and based on valid epidemiological theory and practice. Epidemiological Evidence for Environmental Health Risk Assessment is a World Health Organization (WHO) guideline document. The primary target audiences of the guidelines are expert review groups that WHO (or other organizations) might convene in the future to evaluate epidemiological evidence on the health effects of environmental factors. These guidelines identify a set of processes and general approaches to assess available epidemiological information in a clear, consistent, and explicit manner. The guidelines should also help in the evaluation of epidemiological studies with respect to their ability to support risk assessment and, consequently, risk management. Conducting expert reviews according to such explicit guidelines would make health risk assessment and subsequent risk management and risk communication processes more readily understood and likely to be accepted by policymakers and the public. It would also make the conclusions reached by reviews more readily acceptable as a basis for future WHO guidelines and other recommendations, and would provide a more rational basis for setting priorities for future research.

Manufacturing process for channel seal

Abstract: MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR CHANNEL SEAL Abstract Molten thermoplastic, such as polyethylene, and a hot melt adhesive are coextruded through a channel shaped profile die. While still molten, the channel shaped strip, having adhesive between the ribs thereof, is brought into contact with a moving web of a thermoplastic e.g. polyethylene film, which is backed up by a roll at a controlled temperature. The temperature differential between the roll and the molten thermoplastic is maintained so that the thermoplastic adheres to the moving web upon contact and thereafter cools to set the thermoplastic in the channel shaped profile. The web is under tension so that contraction of the film upon release compensates for the contraction of the channel shaped strip as it cools.

Silicophosphoaluminates and related crystalline oxides

Abstract: A method for synthesizing a crystalline silicophosphoaluminate is provided. The composition has ion-exchange properties and is readily convertible to catalytically active material. The synthesis method requires an organic phase, and an aqueous phase. The silicon, phosphorus and aluminum components of the silicophosphoaluminate may, optionally, be replaced with other elements in the plus 4, 5 and 3 valence states, respectively.

Catalyst and method of preparing same

Abstract: New catalyst for hydrocarbon conversion of organic feedstocks and method of preparing such catalyst. Catalyst is a composite made up of an inorganic oxide, wherein at least 50 weight percent of said inorganic oxide is silica and/or alumina, said matrix having dispersed therein a particulate crystalline aluminosilicate carrying rare earth cations, said composite catalyst having rare earth impregnated therein in an amount of from about 1 to 6 percent by weight (expressed as RE 2 O 3 ), this amount being over and above the rare earth level attainable by ion exchange alone. impregnated rare earth may be incorporated into the catalyst by impregnating the composite with a rare earth-containing solution and then removing excess solution and drying, by impregnating the matrix with rare earth and then admixing the matrix with rare earth-exchanged crystalline aluminosilicate, or by impregnating rare earth-exchanged crystalline aluminosilicate with rare earth and then admixing the resultant rare earth-exchanged and impregnated crystalline aluminosilicate, preferably in the absence of any intermediate washing, with the matrix.
