Download or read book S curit des proc d s chimiques Connaissances et m thodes d analyse des risques 2 d written by LAURENT André and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La maîtrise des risques technologiques et industriels est maintenant une exigence sociétale majeure. En effet à la suite de l'accident AZF à Toulouse, un foisonnement de protocoles et d'applications réglementaires a induit une évolution de la conception du danger et de la notion de risque, qui a conduit au passage d'une évaluation déterministe à une causalité probabiliste. Sécurité des procédés chimiques vise à fournir les outils permettant d'appréhender l'analyse du risque et l'appréciation des conséquences. La terminologie y est actualisée avec les nouveaux termes d'aléa, d'enjeux, d'intensité, de cinétique et de vulnérabilité. Les connaissances de base sont présentées suivant les récentes typologies classiques des caractéristiques des effets des phénomènes de dangers. Outre les méthodes simples et classiques d'analyse des risques (APR - HAZOP - Arbres), l'aspect méthodologique est complété par la présentation de la méthode du nœud papillon et de quelques nouvelles méthodes systémiques intégrées (MOSAR - ARAMIS - LOPA). La démarche de la maîtrise des risques est enrichie d'une revue très complète des concepts de défense en profondeur, de couches de protection, de lignes de défense, de fonctions de sécurité et de différentes barrières rarement proposés simultanément. Enfin, le contenu de l'étude de dangers est décrit d'après la base réglementaire de leur guide d'élaboration. Compte tenu de son approche systémique et pédagogique, ce livre est accessible au débutant tout en répondant aux exigences des spécialistes. Sécurité des procédés chimiques s'adresse donc aussi bien aux ingénieurs, industriels, techniciens, cadres des services publics, des communautés urbaines et des collectivités territoriales, enseignants, chercheurs qu'aux élèves ingénieurs des grandes écoles scientifiques et aux étudiants de licence, master et doctorat des universités…
Download or read book European Yearbook Annuaire Europeen 1977 written by Council of Europe/Conseil de L'Europe and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1979-10-01 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "European Yearbook" promotes the scientific study of nineteen European supranational organisations and the OECD. The series offers a detailed survey of the history, structure and yearly activities of each organisation and an up-to-date overview of the member states of each organisation. This special anniversary volume celebrates 60 years of publication of the Yearbook, and its contents differs from that of the regular volumes therefore. It offers a selection of the most important articles, dealing with European cooperation and integration, to appear in the Yearbook during its 60 years of publication. These are of particular interest not only because they provide a unique historical snapshot of the many successes (and occasional failures) in the field of European integration but also because they discuss the ideals and aims that lay behind these efforts, many of which still resonate today as Europe confronts questions about its political destiny and ideal shape. This volume contains articles in English and French."

The editors and authors are among the leaders of the profession sharing their cumulative wisdom in toxicology's subdisciplines. This edition keeps pace with the digital world in directing and linking readers to relevant websites and other online tools.Due to the increasing size of the hardcopy publication, the current edition has been divided into two volumes to make it easier to handle and consult. Volume 1: Background, Resources, and Tools, arranged in 5 parts, begins with chapters on the science of toxicology, its history, and informatics framework in Part 1. Part 2 continues with chapters organized by more specific subject such as cancer, clinical toxicology, genetic toxicology, etc. The categorization of chapters by resource format, for example, journals and newsletters, technical reports, organizations constitutes Part 3. Part 4 further considers toxicology's presence via the Internet, databases, and software tools. Among the miscellaneous topics in the concluding Part 5 are laws and regulations, professional education, grants and funding, and patents. Volume 2: The Global Arena offers contributed chapters focusing on the toxicology contributions of over 40 countries, followed by a glossary of toxicological terms and an appendix of popular quotations related to the field.The book, offered in both print and electronic formats, is carefully structured, indexed, and cross-referenced to enable users to easily find answers to their questions or serendipitously locate useful knowledge they were not originally aware they needed. Among the many timely topics receiving increased emphasis are disaster preparedness, nanotechnology, -omics, risk assessment, societal implications such as ethics and the precautionary principle, climate change, and children's environmental health. - Opens with an overview of the international toxicology scene, organizations and activities involved with both the science and regulatory framework, and a specific look at the European Union's efforts - Offers an extensive collection of chapters covering over 40 countries and their toxicological infrastructure which includes listings of major books and journals, organizations, professional societies, universities, poison control centers, legislation, and online databases - Provides the Second Edition of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry's Glossary of Terms Used in Toxicology, a carefully constructed and peer reviewed collation of critical terms in the science - Concludes with a potpourri of quotes concerning toxicology and their use in the arts and popular culture - Paired with Volume One, which offers chapters on a host of toxicology sub-disciplines, this set offers the most comprehensive compendium of print, digital, and organizational resources in the toxicological sciences with over120 chapters contributions by experts and leaders in the field

Download or read book cotoxicochimie des hydrocarbures written by PICOT André and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’écotoxicochimie, est une nouvelle branche de l’écologie qui se propose d’aborder les atteintes néfastes des produits chimiques sur l’environnement et la santé, à partir des données récentes de la chimie et de la biologie, en s’appuyant sur la toxicochimie, discipline d’interface élaborée en 1979. Les hydrocarbures, famille de base des composés organiques, ont été sélectionnés comme première approche dans Écotoxicochimie – Applications aux hydrocarbures. Ces produits chimiques sont à l’origine de la carbochimie et de la pétrochimie et leur prise en compte a permis de jeter les bases d’une prévention des risques aussi bien toxicochimiques qu’écotoxicochimiques. Risques liés en particulier à toutes les pollutions hydrocarbonées qui devraient être beaucoup mieux encadrées, tant en milieu domestique que dans les milieux de travail ou dans l’environnement. Ainsi ces hydrocarbures sont impliqués dans des pollutions maritimes retentissantes, qui restent malheureusement toujours d’actualité. Si les pollutions engendrées par l’exploitation maritime du pétrole sont également très inquiétantes, un autre sujet apparaît de plus en plus préoccupant avec l’extraction du gaz et des huiles de schiste, dont la technique mise en œuvre faisant appel à la fracturation hydraulique horizontale, est constituée d’un véritable cocktail chimique à faire frémir bien des toxicologues avertis… Sans précédent dans la littérature scientifique, toutes les propriétés toxiques des composés les plus utilisés sont présentées clairement dans cet ouvrage, à partir des références bibliographiques les plus actualisées. En tant que chimistes, spécialistes en toxicochimie, soucieux de comprendre pourquoi certains produits chimiques peuvent être dangereux pour la santé et l’environnement, les auteurs André Picot et Frédéric Montandon associés à plusieurs autres spécialistes, présentent, à la fin de l’ouvrage, une approche préventive, basée sur la sélection de produits de substitution notamment pour les solvants organiques. Trente-quatre fiches résumées dites de ToxicoÉcotoxicoChimie (FRTEC) devraient permettre de faire le bon choix parmi les principaux hydrocarbures couramment utilisés, en particulier comme solvants, et ceci dans de multiples disciplines. Par son approche novatrice, cet ouvrage sera indispensable aux professionnels des industries, des PMI et PME de tous les domaines traitant ou utilisant les hydrocarbures ou leurs dérivés, mais aussi aux responsables de santé publique ou des milieux de travail, aux organisations gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, et aux écologistes de tous horizons… sans oublier les enseignants et étudiants en chimie, en biologie et en écologie désireux de mieux comprendre pourquoi la chimie est à la base de la vie, qu’il nous faut protéger au mieux.
