the victims kidney's causing them to fail. It also causes renal, cardiovascular failure, and brain damage and in most cases results in death due to these effects. This is not a common problem for most adults but more for children and animals. Ethylene glycol in the antifreeze gives it a sweet

The Toxicology of Cosmetic Chemicals; layman’s land is filled with easy-to-digest myth. SOCIETAL CONCERN; Disconnect between scientific knowledge and general public acceptance The ability to effectively communicate the safeties and dangers of chemicals between scientific professionals and the general population has been and continues to be an ongoing concern for both sides. Often, this difficult process of ensuring public safety and confidence in chemical innovation has had a certain void filled

Abscission is the process by which a plant drops one or more of its parts including leaves, fruits, flowers or even seeds. Plants may undergo this process of abscission in the purpose of either to discard its part that is no longer necessary, such as a leaf during autumn, or a flower following fertilisation or even for the purposes of reproduction. Most deciduous plants drop their leaves by abscission before winter, whereas evergreen plants abscise their leaves continuously. Another form of abscission

Effects of Pre-harvest Factors Pre-harvest factors can influence the final quality of a product including papaya. Post-harvest product qualities develop during growing of the product and are maintained and not improved by post-harvest technologies (Hewett, 2006). Depending on the cultivar, maturity, climate, soil type and fertility, the nutritional composition of a fruit at harvest can vary widely. For example Banana and papayas increase in carotenoid content with maturation and ripeness, but the

4. Discussion 4.1 Chilling injury index We previously reported that a 15-d period of cold storage at 5 °C was enough to develop CI symptoms in mature-green tomato fruit cv. Imperial (Vega-García et al., 2010). In agreement with those results, in the present study we observed CI symptoms after the fruit was stored 10 d at 5 °C, but they were more intense after 15 d of cold storage (Fig. 2). As expected, tomato fruit stored at 12 °C did not show CI symptoms (Malacrida et al., 2006; Bojórquez-Gálvez

PBB produced both ethylene and polyethylene. It was part of a petrochemical complex located in Bahia Blanca, 700 kilometers south of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires.1 Vignart believed that the acquisition of PBB offered Dow a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the leading polyethylene player in Latin America. tC

Olefins are usually produced in large quantities in the petrochemical industry. The separation of olefins from paraffins is of primary importance to the chemical industry. Olefin/paraffin mixture is difficult to separate due to their similar physical and chemical properties such as molecular sizes and boiling point. The most common method for olefin/paraffin separation in the industry is the distillation process, commonly known as cryogenic distillation which is considered as one of the most energy-intensive

of becoming privatized by the Argentine government, Dow Chemicals saw the acquisition of this company as a golden opportunity to become the leading polyethylene player in Latin America. Dow Chemical’s was already a major player in the chemicals (ethylene), plastics (polyethylene), and agricultural products industries holding position as a low-cost producer. Breaking each segment of their business down into these categories respectively, Dow Chemicals was able to generate annual revenues of 20.2

natural development is due to a single organic gas: ethylene. As this hydrocarbon is produced by the fruit various enzymes are produced, catalyzing the previously stated reactions and ripening the banana.1 Qualitatively, banana ripening can be measured by the color of the peel, degree of hardness, and aromatic properties for this is an indicator of the level of ethylene exposure and state of ripeness A banana unexposed to a significant amount of ethylene has a green peel. This is due to the high concentration
