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

ETHYLENE GLYCOL Description Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting chemical. It is poisonous if swallowed. Ethylene glycol was once thought innocuous; in 1931 it was suggested as being suitable for use as a vehicle or solvent for injectable pharmaceutical preparations. Numerous cases of poisoning have been reported since then, and it has been shown to be toxic to humans. Ethylene glycol poisoning is a relatively common occurrence worldwide. Human poisoning often occurs in isolated

Abstract During this research paper we will be looking into the definition of flight into known icing as it’s described by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with special emphasis on the word known or forecasted icing as a legal requirement for both pilots and aircraft. We will look at aircraft systems designed for such operations and we will be analyzing the misunderstanding that many pilots have about this issue. One of the biggest misconceptions is that an aircraft equipped with deicing

Flight Operations into Known Icing Bartholomew H.

Ethylene glycol ( CAS # 107-21-1), also known as monoethylene glycol (MEG), 1,2-ethanediol, 2-hydroxyethanol, dihydroxyethanol, glycol, glycol alcohol, and ethylene alcohol , is a toxic, colorless, odorless, sweet, and viscous liquid (NLM, 2012). It is a member of the glycol family, a group of simple organic chemicals characterized by two hydroxyl (-OH) groups at adjacent positions on a hydrocarbon chain (WHO, 2002). This unique chemical arrangement contributes to: high solubility in water, lower

purified by distillation or crystallization. This is then allowed to react with the glycol by ester interchange. The reaction generally is a two-step reaction a. First, low MW polyester is made with excess of glycol to ensure that the hydroxyl end groups are formed and then the temperature is raised and pressure is decreased to facilitate condensation of these molecules by ester interchange simultaneously with the loss of glycol. [7] PET resins can be produced in two ways commercially. These two ways are

I enjoy a nice, cold Coke as much as anyone else does. The sweet carbonation is quite refreshing when its over 100 degrees outside which is pretty much every day. Coke is my favorite soda but the negative aspects of it really outweigh the positive. Is there really any positive reason to be drinking Coke? Other than cooling off there really isn’t any positive aspect of drinking it. Sometimes I wonder why it hasn’t been banned yet. I’m not just talking about banning it in America, I’m talking about

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

FOOD adulteration is the process of adding chemical substances with foods, which should not be contained within food and beverages. Chemical substances or simply adulterants may be internationally added to substances to reduce manufacturing costs, or for some deceptive or malicious purpose. When profit in business is more important than morality, then it is possible to add the poisoning contents to the foods and beverages. A limited number of people die without foods but large population have been

level are needed. 9. Based on laboratory results, this patient has co ingested a toxic alcohol i.e. methanol, eythlene glycol, isopropyl alcohol. Other lab tests that could be ordered to confirm diagnosis include measuring blood levels for methanol or ethylene glycol. Urine can also be obtained to see if calcium oxalate crystals are present to confirm diagnosis of ethylene glycol ingestion. I could also request for a blood lactate to rule out lactic acidosis which could be explained by the decrease
