TL;DR: The relationship between air pollution and daily mortality in 1989 was examined in two residential areas in Beijing, China as mentioned in this paper, where very high concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and total suspended particulates (TSPs) were observed in these areas.
Abstract: The relationship between air pollution and daily mortality in 1989 was examined in two residential areas in Beijing, China. Very high concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) (mean = 102 micrograms/m3, maximum = 630 micrograms/m3) and total suspended particulates (TSPs) (mean = 375 micrograms/m3, maximum = 1,003 micrograms/m3) were observed in these areas. Daily counts of deaths were regressed, using Poisson regression on the logarithm of (SO2) and/or TSPs controlling for effects of temperature, humidity, and day of week. A highly significant association was found between In(SO2) and daily mortality. The risk of total mortality was estimated to increase by 11% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 5%-16%) with each doubling in SO2 concentration. Separately, the association of In(TSP) with total daily mortality was positive but not significant (4% increase in mortality with each doubling in TSP; 95% CI = -2%-11%). When mortality was analyzed separately by cause, the association with a doubling in SO2 was significant for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (29%), pulmonary heart disease (19%), and cardiovascular disease (11%), and marginally significant for the other nonmalignant causes (8%), but not statistically significant for cancer (2%). A similar association was noted for a doubling in TSP (4%, 38%, and 8% for total, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary heart disease mortality, respectively), but the result was only statistically significant for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In the season-specific analysis, both SO2 and TSP were found to be significant predictors of total daily mortality in summer. In winter, SO2 was again significantly associated with increased mortality, but no positive association was found between TSP and mortality.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

TL;DR: Interestingly, clinical management of poisoning and drug overdose that you really wait for now is coming and it's significant to wait for the representative and beneficial books to read.
Abstract: Interestingly, clinical management of poisoning and drug overdose that you really wait for now is coming. It's significant to wait for the representative and beneficial books to read. Every book that is provided in better way and utterance will be expected by many peoples. Even you are a good reader or not, feeling to read this book will always appear when you find it. But, when you feel hard to find it as yours, what to do? Borrow to your friends and don't know when to give back it to her or him.

"Toxicological profile for malathion..." refers background in this paper

  • ...The physical and chemical properties of metallic mercury and its inorganic and organic compounds have been well characterized to permit estimation of their environmental fate (Lewis 1993; Merck 1989; NFPA 1994; Osol 1980; Spencer and Voigt 1968; Verschueren 1983; Weast 1988; Weiss 1986)....

TL;DR: This letter is in response to your two Citizen Petitions, requesting that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) require a cancer warning on cosmetic talc products.
Abstract: This letter is in response to your two Citizen Petitions dated November 17, 1994 and May 13, 2008, requesting that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) require a cancer warning on cosmetic talc products. Your 1994 Petition requests that all cosmetic talc bear labels with a warning such as \"Talcum powder causes cancer in laboratory animals. Frequent talc application in the female genital area increases the risk of ovarian cancer.\" Additionally, your 2008 Petition requests that cosmetic talcum powder products bear labels with a prominent warning such as: \"Frequent talc application in the female genital area is responsible for major risks of ovarian cancer.\" Further, both of your Petitions specifically request, pursuant to 21 CFR 1 0.30(h)(2), a hearing for you to present scientific evidence in support of this petition.
