CHRISTIE and Judah 1 studied the biochemical basis of the hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride and found that the earliest measurable changes, which precede histological evidence of necrosis, ...

A new process, being developed by SRI International, takes fewer steps, uses less energy, and produces titanium powder, rather than ingots. The powder can be pressed and fused into something that’s ...

Experimental work in rats has shown that peroxidative decomposition of liver-cell structural lipids is an early consequence of acute carbon tetrachloride poisoning. A case of acute fatal human carbon ...

The use of carbon tetrachloride as an intermediate in chemical manufacturing and in many other commercial and industrial applications presents unreasonable risks to worker health, the US Environmental ...

DIMETHYL sulphoxide (DMSO) has received considerable attention because of its remarkable biological properties 1,2, It passes rapidly through many animal membranes, enhances absorption of a wide ...

The Montreal Protocol is a spectacular environmental success story. Since 2010 – 21 years after the agreement was signed by 197 parties – levels of stratospheric ozone have stabilized, and there are ...

A new study published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics reveals a 17-year delay in the projected recovery of the ozone layer since 2006, underscoring the need for enhanced global ...

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), once commonly used as a cleaning agent, is an ozone-depleting chemical. Despite a worldwide ban, a new study reports that CCl4 emission rates are still 30 to 100 times ...

The US Environmental Protection Agency’s latest chemical risk assessment finds little concern with the use of carbon tetrachloride, as long as workers wear personal protective equipment. The agency, ...

Extinguishing fires before they spread has always been a problem. Glass fire grenades were used widely for over 40 years. Glass fire grenade was manufactured between 1870 and 1910. The grenade ...
