These values are multipliers and are PAH-specific. • Once all PAH concentrations are adjusted to account for their relative toxicity as compared to BaP, the concentrations are summed • This summed concentration is then compared to the toxicity value for BaP, which is used as the ABC for total PAHs. Source of PEFs for PAHs • EPA provides a range of values of PEFs for each PAH • Original proposal suggested using upper-bound value of each PEF range as the PEF to use for adjustment of our PAHs • Average PEF value for each PAH is a better approximation of central tendency, and is consistent with the use of PEFs by other agencies • Result of using average, rather than upper-bound PEFs: slightly lower summed concentrations for adjusted PAHs, thus less apt to exceed ABC for total PAHs Documents can be provided upon request in an alternate format for individuals with disabilities or in a language other than English for people with limited English skills.

  • An Approach to the Influence of Particle Size Distribution of Leuco Vat Dye Converted by a Reducing Agent
    Fibers and Polymers 2006, Vol.7, No.2, 164-168 An Approach to the Influence of Particle Size Distribution of Leuco Vat Dye Converted by a Reducing Agent Woo Sub Shim*, Jung Jin Lee1, and Renzo Shamey Fiber and Polymer Science Program, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-8301, USA 1Department of Textile Engineering, Dankook University, Seoul 140-714, Korea (Received January 25, 2006; Revised March 23, 2006; Accepted April 2, 2006) Abstract: Three vat dyes have been applied to regular viscose rayon and their dyeing and wash fastness properties were eval- uated. Particle size determination was undertaken to obtain information about the size of dye particles converted by a reduc- ing agent, to see if dye particle size has an affect on dyeing properties of regular viscose rayon. It is observed that viscose rayon exhibits more dyeability with reducing agent concentrations between 5-7.5 g/l. Also, we found that the vat dyeing sys- tem is greatly affected by the particle size of the vat dye converted to leuco form by a reducing agent. Keywords: Particle size, Particle size distribution, Reducing agent, Viscose rayon, Vat dye, Dyeing properties, Wash fastness Introduction (Na2S2O4). The name “hydro” is commonly used for sodium hydrosulfite in the dyehouse. Reduction is done in the presence Vat dyes are used to dye cellulosic fibers in relatively dull of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) which is usually called caustic. shades requiring good fastness. They are insoluble in water The quantities of caustic and hydro required depend on how and cannot be used directly for dyeing cellulosic fibers.

The effect of salt, alkali, liquor ratio, temperature, and leveling agent on the dyeing behavior and fastness were eval- uated and compared with regular viscose rayon. From the results, we found that new regenerated cellulose fiber exhibited bet- ter dyeability and fastness than regular viscose rayon.

We claim this regenerated cellulose fiber offers environ- Cellulose as a raw material has been used in fiber form as mental advantages over other conventional regenerated a component of paper, textiles, film, and flexible packing fibers because it dose not emit toxic materials such as carbon material.

Concise International Chemical Assessment Document 62 COAL TAR CREOSOTE Please note that the layout and pagination of this pdf file are not identical to the document being printed First draft prepared by Drs Christine Melber, Janet Kielhorn, and Inge Mangelsdorf, Fraunhofer Institute of Toxicology and Experimental Medicine, Hanover, Germany Published under the joint sponsorship of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organization, and the World Health Organization, and produced within the framework of the Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals. World Health Organization Geneva, 2004 The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS), established in 1980, is a joint venture of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The overall objectives of the IPCS are to establish the scientific basis for assessment of the risk to human health and the environment from exposure to chemicals, through international peer review processes, as a prerequisite for the promotion of chemical safety, and to provide technical assistance in strengthening national capacities for the sound management of chemicals. The Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) was established in 1995 by UNEP, ILO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, WHO, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (Participating Organizations), following recommendations made by the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development to strengthen cooperation and increase coordination in the field of chemical safety.
