    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].

Published 2011 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2 ANALYSIS OF CHEMICAL WARFARE DEGRADATION PRODUCTS 1.1 ORGANOPHOSPHORUS NERVE AGENTS Organophosphorus (OP) type compounds, that is, deriva- tives containing the P=O moiety, were first discovered in the 1800s when researchers were investigating useful applica- tions for insecticides/rodenticides. There are many derivatives of organophosphorus compounds, however, the OP deriva- tives that are typically known as ‘nerve agents’ were discov- ered accidentally in Germany in 1936 by a research team led by Dr. Gerhard Schrader at IG Farben [1–4]. Schrader had noticed the effects and lethality of these organophosphorus compounds towards insects and began developing a new class of insecticides. While working towards the goal of an improved insecticide, Schrader experimented with numerous phosphorus-containing compounds, leading to the discovery of the first nerve agent, Tabun (or GA) (Figure 1.1). The potency of these insecticides towards humans was not realized until there was yet another accident, which involved a Tabun spill. Schrader and coworkers began experiencing symptoms, such as miosis (constriction of the pupils of the eyes), dizziness and severe shortness of breath, with numerous effects lasting several weeks [1, 4, 5].

  • Chlorine.Pdf
    Chlorine 7782-50-5 Hazard Summary Chlorine is a commonly used household cleaner and disinfectant. Chlorine is a potent irritant to the eyes, the upper respiratory tract, and lungs. Chronic (long-term) exposure to chlorine gas in workers has resulted in respiratory effects, including eye and throat irritation and airflow obstruction. No information is available on the carcinogenic effects of chlorine in humans from inhalation exposure. A National Toxicology Program (NTP) study showed no evidence of carcinogenic activity in male rats or male and female mice, and equivocal evidence in female rats, from ingestion of chlorinated water. EPA has not classified chlorine for potential carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (2), which contains information on oral chronic toxicity and the RfD, The California Environmental Protection Agency's (CalEPA's) Technical Support Document for the Determination of Noncancer Chronic Reference Exposure Levels (3), and EPA's Drinking Water Criteria Document for Chlorine, Hypochlorous Acid and Hypochlorite Ion (1). Uses Chlorine is a commonly used household cleaner and disinfectant. It is widely used as an oxidizing agent in water treatment and chemical processes. It is also used in the bleaching process of wood pulp in pulp mills. (8) Sources and Potential Exposure Workers may be exposed to chlorine in industries where it is produced or used, particularly in the food and paper industries. In addition, persons breathing air around these industries may be exposed to chlorine. (1) Exposure to chlorine may also occur through drinking water and swimming pool water, where it is used as a disinfectant.

Scope From 1997 until 2016, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has coordinated 40 proficiency tests for the analysis and identification of intact chemical warfare agents, precursor chemicals, degradation and reaction products. This chapter reviews the chemicals used to spike the proficiency test samples, identifying those that have been used multiple times and the distribution of chemicals based upon the schedules in the chemical warfare convention (CWC). The aim of this chapter is not to provide an easy route to pass the proficiency tests but rather to illustrate the range of chemicals that should be considered during method development and/or validation for laboratories participating in, or considering participating in the OPCW Proficiency Test regime.

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),
