  • Industry Compliance Programme
    Global Chemical Industry Compliance Programme GC-ICP Chemical Weapons Convention December 2006 Version 1.0 GLOBAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY COMPLIANCE PROGRAMME FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION The purpose of the handbook is to provide guidance to chemical facilities, traders and trading companies in developing a Global Chemical Industry Compliance Programme (GC-ICP) to comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The GC-ICP focuses first on determining if there is a reporting requirement to your National Authority and second on collecting the relevant support data used to complete the required reports. The GC-ICP is designed to provide a methodology to comply with the CWC and establish systems that facilitate and demonstrate such compliance. Each facility/company should also ensure that it follows its country’s CWC specific laws, regulations and reporting requirements. • Sections 2, 3, and 4 guide you through the process of determining if chemicals at your facility/ company should be reported to your National Authority for compliance with the CWC. • Section 5 provides recommended guidance on information that you may use to determine your reporting requirements under the CWC and administrative tools that your facility/company may use to ensure compliance with the CWC. • Section 6 provides a glossary of terms and associated acronyms. • Section 7 provides a listing of all National Authorities by country.

  • A Quantum Chemical Study Involving Nitrogen Mustards
    The Pharmaceutical and Chemical Journal, 2016, 3(4):58-60 Available online www.tpcj.org ISSN: 2349-7092 Research Article CODEN(USA): PCJHBA Formation enthalpy and number of conformers as suitable QSAR descriptors: a quantum chemical study involving nitrogen mustards Robson Fernandes de Farias Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Cx. Postal 1664, 59078-970, Natal-RN, Brasil Abstract In the present work, a quantum chemical study (Semi-empirical,PM6 method) is performed using nitrogen mustards (HN1, HN2 and HN3) as subjects in order to demonstrate that there is a close relationship between pharmacological activity and parameters such as formation enthalpy and number of conformers, which could, consequently, be employed as reliable QSAR descriptors. To the studied nitrogen mustards, a very simple equation o o relating log P, ΔH f and the number of conformers (Nc) was found: log P = [(log -ΔH f + logNc)/2]-0.28. Keywords QSAR, Descriptors, Formation enthalpy, Conformers, Semi-empirical, Nitrogen mustards, Log P Introduction It is well known that lipophilicity is a very important molecular descriptor that often correlates well with the bioactivity of chemicals [1]. Hence, lipophilicity, measured as log P, is a key property in quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies. In this connection, in the pharmaceutical sciences it is a common practice to use log P (the partition coefficient between water and octanol), as a reliable indicator of the hydrophobicity or lipophilicity of (drug) molecules [1-2]. For example, relying primarily on the log P is a sensible strategy in preparing future 18-crown-6 analogs with optimized biological activity [3].

  • Information Data Sheet Detector Tube QUALITEST QL Part No. (US): 497665 Part No. D5085810
    Information Data Sheet Detector Tube QUALITEST QL Part No. (US): 497665 Part No. D5085810 1. Application Detction of dangerous (toxic or combustible) gases and vapors in air.In particular fot testing the air in confined spaces such as fuel tanks, storage bins, cable vaults, sewers. Furthermore the tube QL can be used to detect or localize leaks, e.g. in pipelines. 2. General Description The detector tube QL does not have any calibration scale. The indication is non-specific and qualita- tive, i. e. only the presence resp. the absence of contaminants will be detected. The indication gives no information about type or concentration of contaminants detected. A special detector tube with quantitative indication shoud be used if the presence or the concentration of a known contaminant is to be determined. This applies also to substances which can not be indicated by the detector tube QL. The various contaminants are indicated with different sensitivity. However, the detector tube is sufficiently sensitive for all listed substances. Normally, concentrations of a few ppm are detectable. Among others, the following substances are indicated: Acetone, acetylene, benzene, 1.3-butadiene, butanes, butylenes, carbon disulfide, carbon monoxide, cyclohexane, diesel oil, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), ethylene, formic acid, fuel oil, gasoline (engine fuel),hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, kerosene, liquid petroleum gas (propane, butanes), methyl ethyl ketone (butanone), pentanes and other saturated hydrocarbons, phenol, propane, propanols (propyl alcohols),

PhD-thesis Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands – with references – with summaries in English and Dutch ISBN: 978-90-8504-787-2 Abstract Due to increasingly stringent environmental legislation car fuels have to be desulfurized to levels below 10 ppm in order to minimize negative effects on the environment as sulfur-containing emissions contribute to acid deposition (‘acid rain’) and to reduce the amount of particulates formed during the burning of the fuel. Moreover, low sulfur specifications are also needed to lengthen the lifetime of car exhaust catalysts.

The four aliphatic thiols are soluble in water and have reasonably comparable melting points, initial boiling points and vapor pressures, as well as very low and objectionable odor thresholds. The water solubility and narrow range of octanol-water partition coefficients (log Kow) for the three linear C2-C4 Aliphatic Thiols indicate that they will have similar environmental fate and are not expected to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Ecotoxicity is similar for the three linear C2-C4 Aliphatic Thiols with data for fish, invertebrate and algae toxicity indicating a similar order of acute toxicity across the chemicals tested (ecotoxicity is less for t-butyl-mercaptan). ECOSAR has been used to address and support the data gaps for the linear category members. Environmental fate and toxicity data are available for the branched t-butyl mercaptan.

However, the hydrocarbon surface of nonactin allows it to enter readily into, and pass through, membranes. Because nonactin binds and thus transports ions, the ion balance crucial to proper cell function is upset, and the cell dies. Ion Channels Ion channels, or “ion gates,” provide passageways for ions into and out of cells. (Recall that ions are not soluble in membrane phospholipids.) The flow of ions is essen- tial for the transmission of nerve impulses and for other biological processes. A typical chan- nel is a large protein molecule imbedded in a cell membrane. Through various mechanisms, ion channels can be opened or closed to regulate the concentration of ions in the interior of the cell. Ions do not diffuse passively through an open channel; rather, an open channel contains regions that bind a specific ion. Such an ion is bound specifically within the channel at one side of the membrane and is somehow expelled from the channel on the other side. Remark- ably, the structures of the ion-binding regions of these channels have much in common with the structures of ionophores such as nonactin. The first X-ray crystal structure of a potassium- ion channel was determined in 1998 by a team of scientists at Rockefeller University led by Prof. Roderick MacKinnon (b. 1956), who shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work. The interior of the channel contains binding sites for two potassium ions; these sites are oxygen-rich, much like the interior of nonactin.
