Do not buy products, or throw away those you already have, if these chemicals are present.
Check your cosmetics for toxic ingredients and throw them away. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The alkanes are also known as the saturated hydrocarbons; because they have only single bonds, they have the maximum amount of hydrogen per carbon atom. The other hydrocarbon groups would be considered unsaturated, which is another way of saying they have double or triple bonds in their structure. Note that in the table I shaded the alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes to remind us that they are all types of hydrocarbons.
I should add that another group of hydrocarbons exists which I left off the table. |
David Steinman
See book keywords and concepts |  Since these emissions are a marker for use of dangerous chlorinated fossil fuel hydrocarbons that can cause cancer, reproductive harm, and other maladies, lowering them is a good thing. The amount of toxic chlorinated fossil fuel hydrocarbons, found in pulp and paper effluent discharge, goes down remarkably when you are more efficient and produce less waste; it also leads to less dioxin and other troubling chlorine-based toxins in our fishing streams and in our own bodies. Not a bad thing.
On the other hand, Bowater also manages and buys timber from private landowners. |

I should add that another group of hydrocarbons exists which I left off the table. As a group, these are called the aromatic hydrocarbons; you can recognize them because the molecule benzene is their building block.3 Benzene is a ring of six carbons with alternating double and single bonds; it is shown in two drawing styles in Figure 2.5.

See book keywords and concepts |  In 1910, a Btitish researcher studying the anesthetic properties of tettachlotoethane on frog muscle introduced his paper by stating, "Within the last few years chloroderivatives of the aliphatic hydrocarbons, other than the familiar chloroform, have been used for various purposes, occasionally with fatal results."15
The investigator concluded that tetrachloroethane was approximately four times as toxic in the frog tests as chloroform was. A year later, a 1911 German research srudy in cats confirmed tetrachloroethane's toxicity. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Today, most benzene is reformulated by cooking petroleum hydrocarbons with hydrogen gas under pressure. Between 1919 and 1940, at least thirty-three publications advised replacing benzene with safer solvents. Many were issued by the National Safety Council and Dr. Hamilton.
In 1948, the American Standards Association, a group of industry experts, maintained that a person could safely be subjected to 100 ppm of benzene over an eight-hour work period. It's not clear where they got this notion. But it is clear that it made no sense even at the time. | | Huge new factories on the Rhine and elsewhere were producing an array of compounds, including benzene, toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons.
In an important series of articles published in 1916 and 1917, Hamilton provided the first comprehensive account of the health effects of benzene. Her work is peppered with references to case reports of benzene poisoning found in German, French and other national journals, along with American cases reported at Johns Hopkins in 1910. She depicted, without comment, studies on Hungarian prisoners who were given benzene as an anesthetic. | | We were formulating polymer films and foams and used lots of solvents, things like free isocyanates and chlorinated hydrocarbons. We had absolutely no idea that our own health could be at risk."
A competitive rower and serious weight lifter, the twenty-two-year-old Pacinelli suddenly found she tired easily and had a persistent ache in her chest. X-rays showed her lungs full of what the doctors thought were small tumors. She was told she had lymphoma and had six to nine months to live.
Pacinelli's dad refused to accept that grim diagnosis. |
Paul D. Blanc, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Like most hydrocarbons, at higher levels of exposure it has an alcohol-like effect, inducing lightheadedness, giddiness, or even drunkenness. Limits on workplace exposure were based on this effect alone, allowing inhalation at levels fifty times as concentrated as the old benzene standard, even as lax as that was.
Indications that something might be wrong appeared not long after hexane's commercial applications became more widespread. |

Filtered tobacco smoke, devoid of nitrosamines and hydrocarbons, produces lung tumors as effectively as does unfil-tered smoke, which casts doubt on whether these chemicals are the primary causes of lung cancer. [Chest 125: 128S, 2004]
Tobacco companies have made half-hearted attempts to produce cigarettes that reduce exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, producing brands such as Eclipse, Omni, Advance Lights, Accord, and Ariva, but most established smokers don't like them. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Among the many facts about that remarkable cancer congress of 1936 that are not well known (in fact hardly known at all) is that most of the assessments regarding cancerous effects from hormones, arsenic, sunlight, radiation, benzene and other chlorinated hydrocarbons were well accepted by official industrial sources at that time.Ten years earlier, the American National Safety Council issued a final report on the hazards of benzol, the German term used to describe benzene. | | Sweet smelling, seductively intoxicating hydrocarbons can be alluring, the stuff of dreams. Benzene proved close to miraculous at dissolving tars and other sticky industrial residues. It sliced right through tough, greasy grime and made paints that dried quickly. For some years scientists couldn't actually figure out how the molecule hung together. After years of pondering how benzene could exist, Baron August Kekule von Stradonitz awoke with a vision. According to an apochryphal story, one wintry night in 1861 a snake wrapped itself around the sleeping brain of this Bohemian noble. | | City residents regularly breathe air full of fine particulates, aromatic hydrocarbons, diesel exhaust and other industrial residues. Even with infra-red probes, the ground of the city itself sometimes cannot be seen from space, because it is swathed in opaque fumes and dusts.
In the 1960s, when Li Dou was a girl, like every young child on this planet, she took in many more breaths every day than adults around her. Each minute, the typical adult inhales about sixteen breaths while awake and about half as many when asleep. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The substances that make up air pollution include gases such as sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide; particulate matter such as smoke, dust, fumes, and aerosols; pesticides, chemicals, toxic elements, radioactive materials, and several other substances. These are considered primary air pollutants, meaning they are generated directly from a source or process. Then there are also secondary air pollutants formed in the air when primary pollutants react or interact. Ground-level ozone, which makes up photochemical smog, is a classic example of this. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The largest chemical company in the United States, Dow Chemical is a leading producer of pesticides, plastics, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals. Its production processes and practices have poisoned the environment as well as consumers and workers, sometimes with dire consequences for entire communities.
The company is responsible for hazardous pesticides (such as 2,4-D, Dursban, Telone, and DBCP), as well as by-products such as dioxin, ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, and Agent Orange and napalm used during the Vietnam War. | | Biofuels reduce tailpipe emissions of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, compared with conventional diesel fuel. And biofuels support the American agricultural economy."
This amazing quote came from a speech by Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda on January 23, 2006, at the Detroit Economic Club.25
Meantime, Bill Ford said that his company is now going to shift its focus to flex-fuel vehicles, where he thinks Ford could outpace or compete with its Japanese rivals (who thus far had no flex-fuel vehicles to speak of in the United States). | | However, another major breakthrough was the company's discontinued use of chlorinated hydrocarbons in 2005.3 www. bosch.com
GE
In your safe trip, where you are headed counts, and salvation is a real possibility. If so, Jeff Immelt has GE headed in the right direction when it comes to green salvation. GE's eco-imagination is a whole lot more than a catchy slogan. In many ways, if successful, GE's move to be a green company crystallizes the changeover in the world's industrial movement and financial centers. | | Renewable Energy BP
BP's stance on renewable energy sources and cleaner air is this: They are working toward a world powered by clean renewable energy, but they accept that hydrocarbons (i.e., coal, oil, and gas) are here to stay for the foreseeable future. So in the meantime, while developing cleaner renewable energy sources, BP will continue to reduce emissions from their energy products and help people use energy more efficiently.41
Currently, BP is looking to expand their solar energy market. | | The amount of toxic chlorinated fossil fuel hydrocarbons, found in pulp and paper effluent discharge, goes down remarkably when you are more efficient and produce less waste; it also leads to less dioxin and other troubling chlorine-based toxins in our fishing streams and in our own bodies.
