We have described an e-platform, with an IP camera for managing toxic and hazardous chemicals within an organization. The system allows: 1) a worker to understand the globally harmonized system (GHS) of classification and labeling of chemicals and printout the GHS-based safety data sheets with 16 sections of listed information, according to the GHS, 2) a director of a chemical laboratory to inv...

Due to accidents related chemical substances at home and abroad, the effects of hazardous chemicals on environment interest in them are increasing. In order prevent occurrence accidents, it is first necessary clarify institutional standards for chemicals. Among daily life products which detected, textile close contact with human body a very long time, thus closely health. However, our society's...

There are six chemicals or groups of chemicals that are currently registered as avicides that can be used in some or all of the U.S. Most of these chemicals, because of their diverse chemical composition and innate toxicological effects, present somewhat different primary and secondary hazards to avian and mammalian predators and scavengers. Of the chemicals reviewed, all appear to present some...

The goal of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is to “ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are evaluated and that information concerning their hazards is transmitted to employers and employees.” You can communicate the information through a comprehensive hazard communication program, which should include contai...

OBJECTIVES The research purpose was to analyze data concerning chemical incidents in Poland collected in 1999-2009 in terms of health hazards. MATERIAL AND METHODS The data was obtained, using multimodal information technology (IT) system, from chemical incidents reports prepared by rescuers at the scene. The final analysis covered sudden events associated with uncontrolled release of hazardo...

E mergency response deals with the reaction to a natural or man-made disaster and involves containing the disaster situation. The process is time-critical because many lives depend on how quickly and accurately emergency responders make decisions. During an emergency response, emergency operations centers (EOCs) face different problems depending on the category the emergency falls under (fire, ...

Tracing leaks of airborne radio-active, poisonous or flammable materials is a potentially dangerous activity that could be undertaken by robotic systems. This paper describes a practical investigation of the possibility of developing simple, low cost, autonomous robots to perform this task. It is envisaged that these robots would be used in large numbers. This would improve reliability through ...

BACKGROUND The safe use of recycled paper and cardboard material for food packaging applications is     an important area of investigation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine which hazardous chemi- cal pollutants were found in paper and cardboard samples used for pastry packaging, and to measure the migration of pollutants over time into the pastries. METHODS In this study, the...
