Center for Analytical Chemistry Curt W. Reimann, Director Ranee A. Velapoldi, Deputy Director A. Center Overview The Center for Analytical Chemistry develops and maintains the scientific competences and the experimental facilities necessary to provide the Nation with the basis for uniform measurements through develop- ment of measurement methodology and provision of measurement services in the field of analytical chemistry. Analytical measurements provide a foundation for all aspects of scientific and technological research and development concerning materials and their practical application. Further- more, results of analytical measurements are increasingly used as the basis for regulatory, medical, and industrial decisions. It is essential that these measurements be reliable and the Center serves as the national reference laboratory for assuring this reliability. The principal means by which the Center serves as a national reference laboratory is through the development and issuance of standard reference materials (SRM's). The ubiquity

These include the development and maintenance of the national standards of measurement and the provision of means and methods for making measurements consistent with these standards; the determination of physical constants and properties of materials; the development of methods and instruments for testing materials, devices, and structures; advisory services to government agencies on scien- tific and technical problems; invention and development of devices to serve special needs of the Government; and the development of standard practices, codes, and specifications. The work includes basic and applied research, development, engineering, instrumentation, testing, evaluation, calibration services, and various consultation and information services. Research projects are also performed for other government agencies when the work relates to and supplements the basic program of the Bureau or when the Bureau's unique competence is required. The scope of activities is suggested by the listing of divisions and sections on the inside of the back cover. Publications The results of the Bureau's research are published either in the Bureau's own series of publications or in the journals of professional and scientific societies. The Bureau itself publishes three periodicals available from the Government Printing Office: The Journal of Research, published in four separate sections, presents complete scientific and technical papers; the Technical News Bulletin presents summary and preliminary reports on work in progress; and Basic Radio Propagation Predictions provides data for determining the best frequencies to use for radio communications throughout the world.

    Draft Screening Assessment Thallium and Its Compounds Environment

    Draft Screening Assessment Thallium and its compounds Environment and Climate Change Canada Health Canada September 2020 Synopsis Pursuant to section 68 and 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of thallium and its compounds. The scope of this assessment is on the thallium moiety. This assessment considers all thallium-containing substances, that may release thallium as well as thallium in its elemental form, and thallium released in the environment in dissolved, solid or particulate forms. This includes three thallium- containing substances on the Domestic Substances List (DSL) identified as priorities for assessment as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other ecological concerns, and two thallium- containing substances that were identified for further consideration following prioritization of the Revised In Commerce List (R-ICL). The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RN1), their DSL or R-ICL names and their common names are listed in the table below. Thallium-containing substances identified as priorities for assessment CAS RN DSL or R-ICL name Common name 7440-28-0 a Thallium Thallium 563-68-8 Acetic acid, thallium(1++) salt Thallium(I) acetate 7791-12-0 Thallium chloride Thallium chloride 10031-59-1 b Sulfuric acid, thallium(1+) salt (1:?) Thallium(I) sulfate 55172-29-7 b Thallium chloride (201TlCl) 201TlCl a This substance was not identified under subsection 73(1) of CEPA but was included in this assessment as it is highly reactive when exposed to moisture in air and releases thallium ions under environmental conditions.

    8. EFFECTS on HUMANS 8.1 Healthy Subjects

    8. EFFECTS ON HUMANS 8.1 Healthy subjects 8.1.1 Introduction Many direct experiments investigating the effects of carbon monoxide on humans have been conducted during the last century. Although many reports describe inadvertent exposures to various levels of carbon monoxide, there are a considerable number of precise and delineated studies utilizing human subjects. Most of these have been conducted by exposing young adult males to concentrations of carbon monoxide equivalent to those frequently or occasionally detected during ambient monitoring. Research on human subjects, however, can be limited by methodological problems that make the data difficult to interpret. These problems include (1) failure to mea- sure blood carboxyhaemoglobin levels; (2) failure to distinguish between the physiological effects from a carbon monoxide dose of high concentration (i.e., bolus effect) and the slow, insidious incre- ment in carboxyhaemoglobin levels over time from lower inhaled carbon monoxide concentrations; (3) failure to distinguish between normal blood flow and blood flow increased in response to hypoxia (compensatory responses); and (4) the use of small numbers of experi- mental subjects. Other factors involve failure to provide (1) control measures (e.g., double-blind conditions) for experimenter bias and experimenter effects; (2) control periods so that task-learning effects do not mask negative results; (3) homogeneity in the subject pool, particularly in groups labelled “smokers”; (4) control of possible bore- dom and fatigue effects; and (5) adequate statistical treatment of the data. 8.1.2 Acute pulmonary effects of carbon monoxide 8.1.2.1 Effects on lung morphology Results from human autopsies have indicated that severe pul- monary congestion and oedema were produced in the lungs of indi- viduals who died from acute smoke inhalation resulting from fires (Fein et al., 1980; Burns et al., 1986).

    Anomalous Mechanical Behavior of the Deltic, Squaric and Croconic Cyclic Oxocarbon Acids

    IOP Publishing Journal Title Journal XX (XXXX) XXXXXX https://doi.org/XXXX/XXXX Anomalous mechanical behavior of the deltic, squaric and croconic cyclic oxocarbon acids Francisco Colmenero1 1 Molecular Physics Department, Instituto de Estructura de la Materia (CSIC), Madrid, Spain E-mail: [email protected] Received xxxxxx Accepted for publication xxxxxx Published xxxxxx Abstract The structural and mechanical properties of the deltic, squaric and croconic cyclic oxocarbon acids were obtained using theoretical solid-state methods based in Density Functional Theory employing very demanding calculation parameters in order to yield realistic theoretical descriptions of these materials. The computed lattice parameters, bond distances, angles, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns of these materials were in excellent agreement with their experimental counterparts. The crystal structures of these materials were found to be mechanically stable since the calculated stiffness tensors satisfy the Born mechanical stability conditions. Furthermore, the values of the bulk modulus and their pressure derivatives, shear and Young moduli, Poisson ratio, ductility and hardness indices, as well as mechanical anisotropy measures of these materials were reported. A complete review of the literature concerning the negative Poisson ratio and negative linear compressibility phenomena is given together with the theoretical study of the mechanical behavior of cyclic oxocarbon acid materials. The deltic, squaric, and croconic acids in the solid state are highly anisotropic materials characterized by low hardness and relatively low bulk moduli. The three materials display small negative Poisson ratios. The croconic acid displays the phenomenon of negative linear compressibility for applied pressures larger than ~0.4 GPa directed along the direction of minimum Poisson ratio and undergoes a pressure induced phase transition at applied pressures larger than ~1.0 GPa.
