Potentially hazardous waste produced at home

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to identify the sources of waste generation household consisting of biological material and to investigate the knowledge presented by those responsible for the generation of waste in the home environment on the potential health risk human and environmental. METHOD It is a quantitative survey performed in Parque Capuava, Santo André (SP). The questionna...

Automated Integration Of Potentially Hazardous Open Systems

I speculate on the feasibility of open systems that self-assemble into integrated systems of systems using automation to identify and manage novel hazards. 1. Automated Integration of Open Systems One of the benefits expected of open systems is that they can be combined as systems of systems to deliver some integrated service beyond that provided by any of the constituents alone. Of course, we ...

Potentially hazardous drug interactions with psychotropics

Of the many interactions with psychotropic drugs, a minority are potentially hazardous. Most interactions are pharmacodynamic, resulting from augmented or antagonistic actions at a receptor or from different mechanisms in the same tissue. Most important pharmacokinetic interactions are due to effects on metabolism or renal excretion. The major enzymes involved in metabolism belong to the cytoch...

Towards Designing a Credible Hazardous NEA Mitigation Campaign of Dual-deflection Act

Tartrazine: a potentially hazardous dye in Canadian drugs.

The literature was reviewed to determine the incidence of idiosyncratic reactions to tartrazine. From 4% to 14% of individuals with asthma or allergies or both and from 7% to 20% of persons who are sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid may react to this dye. The mechanism of such reactions is unknown. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors were surveyed and a list was prepared of approximate...
