In this report the more general considerations of environmental behaviour of several radionuclides are discussed, including sources, transport to man and dosimetry. The radionuclides discussed are those most frequently ...

The dithiocarbamates included in this review are those that are mainly used in agriculture and form part of the large group of synthetic organic pesticides that have been developed and produced on a large scale in the last ...

Toluene diisocyanates (TDIs) are synthetic organic chemicals of low relative molecular mass (174.17). They are colourless to pale yellow liquids, at room temperature, with a distinct pungent odour detectable around 0.7 ...

This document comprises a review of data of effects of magnetic field exposure on biological systems, pertinent to the evaluation of health risks for man. The purpose of the document is to provide an overview of the known ...

Although only key references essential for the evaluation of the risks for human health and the environment are cited, this document is based on a comprehensive search of the available, original scientific literature, while ...

Toluene is the common name for methylbenzene. It is a clear, colourless liquid that is volatile (vapour pressure of 3.82 kPa), flammable, and explosive in air. The technical product may contain small amounts of benzene. ...

Ammonia (NH3) is a colourless acrid-smelling gas at ambient temperature and pressure. It can be stored and transported as a liquid at a pressure of 10 atm at 25 C. Ammonia dissolves readily in water where it forms, and is ...

Chlorophenols (CPs) are organic chemicals formed from phenol (1-hydroxybenzene) by substitution in the phenol ring with one or more atoms of chlorine. Nineteen congeners are possible, ranging from monochlorophenols to ...

Mercury is a metal which is liquid at normal temperatures and pressures. It forms salts in two ionic states mercury(I) and mercury (II). Mercury (II), or mercuric, salts are very much more common than mercury(l) salts, and ...
