Download or read book WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and Guidelines to Classification 2009 written by International Program on Chemical Safety and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2010 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard was approved by the 28th World Health Assembly in 1975 and has since gained wide acceptance. When it was published in the WHO Chronicle, 29, 397-401 (1975), an annex, which was not part of the Classification, illustrated its use by listing examples of classification of some pesticidal active ingredients and their formulations. Later suggestions were made by Member States and pesticide registration authorities that further guidance should be given on the classification of individual pesticides. Guidelines were first issued in 1978, and have since been revised and reissued every few years. Up until the present revision the original guidelines approved by the World Health Assembly in 1975 have been followed without amendment. In December, 2002 the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UNCETDG/GHS) approved a document called 'The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals' with the intent to provide a globally-harmonized system1 (GHS) to address classification of chemicals, labels, and safety data sheets. The GHS (with subsequent revisions) is now being widely used for the classification and labeling of chemicals worldwide. For this revision of the Classification the WHO Hazard Classes have been aligned in an appropriate way with the GHS Acute Toxicity Hazard Categories for acute oral or dermal toxicity as the starting point for allocating pesticides to a WHO Hazard Class (with adjustments for individual pesticides where required). It is anticipated that few of the more toxic pesticides will change WHO Hazard Class as a result of this change. As has always been the case, the classification of some pesticides has been adjusted to take account of severe hazards to health other than acute toxicity (as described in Part II). The GHS Acute Toxicity Hazard Category for each pesticide is now presented alongside the existing information"--Page 1.

Download or read book Georgia written by Sullivan, Buddy and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia: A State History, opens a window on our rich and sometimes tragic past and reveals to all of us the fascinating complexity of what it means to be a Georgian. Georgia's past has diverged from the nation's and given the state and its people a distinctive culture and character. Some of the best, and the worst, aspects of American and Southern history can be found in the story of what is arguably the most important state in the South. Yet just as clearly Georgia has not always followed the road traveled by the rest of the nation and the region. Explaining the common and divergent paths that make us who we are is one reason the Georgia Historical Society has collaborated with Buddy Sullivan and Arcadia Publishing to produce Georgia: A State History, the first full-length history of the state produced in nearly a generation. Sullivan's lively account draws upon the vast archival and photographic collections of the Georgia Historical Society to trace the development of Georgia's politics, economy, and society and relates the stories of the people, both great and small, who shaped our destiny.

Download or read book Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods written by United Nations and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled "Manual of Tests and Criteria".

Alice Douglas, gifted geneticist, finds herself coerced by her influential father into participating in a clandestine government project led by Cain, the king of all vampires. Cain aims to create a formidable hybrid army by combining the strongest and most dangerous vampire and werewolf traits. But the experiment has a deadly cost, having already claimed the lives of numerous dormant werewolves. Alice’s role in the enterprise takes a dramatic turn when Cain discovers she is a rare gypsy healer, potentially the key to his plan’s success. An unexpected bond forms between the pair, a forbidden connection between light and darkness. Their relationship is further complicated when Alice is attacked by a rogue vampire, Claude. In a desperate bid to save her, Cain gives Alice his blood, transforming her into... something. But Alice’s pure soul violently rejects the king’s vampiric blood, throwing her life into grave peril. Enter Perizada of the fae, protector of all gypsy healers. Peri learns that Alice's salvation lies with her true mate, Maxim, a rogue werewolf. The wolf, determined to rescue Alice, joins forces with Fane Lupei, the Alpha of alphas. Meanwhile, Alice, held captive and battling internal turmoil, believes there's goodness in Cain and strives to unearth it. But Cain is resolute in keeping Alice his prisoner, regardless of the consequences. A new alliance of wolves and healers must find a way to sever Cain's deadly bond with Alice without killing her, and thwart the vampire’s plans to unleash an unstoppable hybrid army–a threat stronger than any the wolves have ever faced.

Not only the wolves, but for all those who stand in defense of virtue, purity, and righteousness in a world plagued with monsters hell-bent on destroying every good in their path. Time and time again, the Great Luna’s warriors have faced depraved adversaries, and each time they’ve risen to the challenge.

Alston, the former high fae and leader of the Order, continues to wage war on Fane and his allies. Cain, the vampire king, has other plans, and they no longer include membership in the crumbling faction. He has discovered some powerful new allies, the very humans he once attempted to subjugate. Could they unwittingly be the key that allows him to put finally eliminate all competition for rule of the supernatural races? In the end, one species will reign supreme. One king will stand victorious. The rest will bow...or die.
