They identified the hurdles associated ... of acetone and qualifying the substitute chemical. Once DBE was agreed upon as the replacement after evaluating various parameters like cost, global availability, lead time, and sourcing, the team moved to planning a complete rollout across the facilities. “It was a joint effort and massive undertaking, but together we set a goal, mapped our path, and achieved a long-term sustainable solution to reduce EHS risk,” says Project ...

The present study documents the results of a literature search and experimental work to assess the risks of mixing dilute H 2O 2 and acetone solutions. The use of dilute H 2O 2 to clean chemical vessels is common, but it has been shown to be potentially hazardous due to the reaction of H 2O ...

We also measured the personal exposure ... health risks. We studied 22 VOCs (hexane, ethyl acetate, benzene, toluene, butyl acetate, ethylbenzene, m,p-xylene, o-xylene, α-pinene, decane, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, d-limonene, undecane, 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, p-dichlorobenzene, dodecane, tridecane, tetradecane, pentadecane, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate, hexadecane, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate), 7 carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, ...

Likewise, the hazardous substance may induce a feeling of drunkenness, lethargy and slurred speech, and even coma. A Pub Chem article stresses that acetone may cause severe eye irritation as well. The chemical is also associated with an increased risk of hypotension or low blood pressure levels.

CLEAPSS is a UK based organisation providing services to schools to support practical work in science, design technology and art and design. Most UK schools are already members and so can access all resources without additional cost.

Government agencies, NGOs and industry recognize the value added by expert peer review and TERA is a world leader in providing independent expert review for all types of risk assessment documents and activities.

The cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains elusive, but environmental chemical exposures have been postulated to be involved in the etiology of PD. We examined the association between the persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and PD in the North Indian population.

One example where discharge path resistance becomes important is the human body, which does become charged readily, but discharges more slowly across a gap than a metallic conductor due to the finite conductivity of the body. One study, performed with acetone vapor, reported that the effective ...
