The programme was subsequently expanded to include evaluations of carcinogenic risks associated with exposures to complex mixtures, lifestyle factors and biological and physical agents, as well as those in specific occupations. The objective of the programme is to elaborate and publish in the form of monographs critical reviews of data on carcinogenicity for agents to which humans are known to be exposed and on specific exposure situations; to evaluate these data in terms of human risk with the help of international working groups of experts in carcinogenesis and related fields; and to indicate where additional research efforts are needed. The lists of IARC evaluations are regularly updated and are available on the Internet athttp:// monographs.iarc.fr/. This programme has been supported since 1982 by Cooperative Agreement U01 CA33193 with the United States National Cancer Institute, Department of Health and Human Services.

(57) Ammeline-melamine-formaldehyde resins (AMFR) containing from 5-100% ammeline were syn- thesized by the polymerization of the sodium salt of ammeline, which must be made in advance, melamine, and formaldehyde in basic medium (pH = 9.2-10.0). In this copolymerization, it is possible to make uniform random AMFR resins with any mole ratio of ammeline salt to melamine. Preferably the AMFR resin will contain from 5-10% ammeline. As an "ionomer" or a "poly-electrolyte," both the solid and solution properties of these resins (such as melting temperature, solubility, solution stability, etc.) depended directly on the mole ratio of ammeline to melamine and formaldehyde, and/or on the pH value of the medium in which the AMFR resin was present.

Our rough measurements tions—upon contact with an oxidizing agent—are referred to indicate that about 25% of DCA IL is converted into as hypergols.[1] Engines powered by hypergols do not require precipitate during the ignition. Furthermore, the generation electric ignition, thus making them simple, robust, and of stable solid-state species during the ignition indeed reliable alternatives to conventional fossil fuels. Commonly represents a serious problem for the safe operation of used hypergolic fuels include hydrazine and its methylated bipropellant engines. The results of model experiments derivatives, which are extremely toxic, corrosive, and have obtained under various experimental conditions suggest that high vapor pressure. Intense research is underway to develop the key components necessary for the formation of the major alternative environmentally friendly liquid propellants with polymers are DCA anions and nitric acid. Polymerization lower toxicity to reduce operational costs and safety require- occurs even at lower concentration of reagents, when neither ments associated with handling hydrazine.[2] Ionic liquids hypergolic ignition nor notable heating of the reaction (ILs)[3] have recently received considerable attention as mixture take place. The reaction of DCA ILs with aqueous energetic materials for propellant applications owing to HNO3 therefore represents a new, facile, ambient method to lower vapor pressures, higher densities and, often, an synthesize cyclic azines, which can be tuned by choosing from enhanced thermal stability compared to their nonionic a variety of different IL precursors.
