Cadmium and lead are potential heavy metal environmental pollutants. Cadmium is used in metal coating, paints, enamels, plastics, stabilizers of PVC, nickel-cadmium batteries, solders, low melting alloys, production of semiconductor and photovoltaic devices (Peterson and Allowy, 1979). Lead comes from printing industry plastics plaster, paint and batteries (Haley, 1968). Most of the investigati...

The paper describes application of recycled plastic materials in the automotive industry. It deals with various types plastics used vehicle interiors / exteriors. Introduction into cars brings about reduction weight vehicle, resulting reduced fuel consumption and increased performance. Since quantity generated waste is extreme, issue recycling highly topical.

umen tympanic due to metallic or non metallic (mostly polythene material) are among the most common cause of gastro intestinal disorders in ruminants (Radostatis etal, 1994). Plastics can be termed as wide range of chemical materials either synthetic or semi synthetic solidmaterials like polyethylene,polyvinyle chloride,polysterine largely used in plastics manufacturing industry which pose a th...

Synthetic polymers, commonly known as plastics, have been entering the marine environment in quantities paralleling their level of production over the last half century. However, in the last two decades of the 20th Century, the deposition rate accelerated past the rate of production, and plastics are now one of the most common and persistent pollutants in ocean waters and beaches worldwide. Thi...

Methodology for the evaluation of long-term thermal performance of cellular plastics is being developed under a collaboration of North American foam industry with the National Research Council of Canada. The mechanism of this collaboration includes a joint research project between the Society of Plastics Industry and the NRC Canada. To evaluate long-term thermal performance (LTTP) of cellular p...
