Like manufacturers in all industries, pharmaceutical manufacturers and their employees face real and serious health and safety issues. In some cases, the hazards are the same ones we find in most manufacturing facilities. In other cases, the hazards are more specific to pharmaceutical manufacturing. Likewise, pharmaceutical manufacturers use hazard controls and risk mitigations that are common to many industries as well as more specific to pharmaceutical manufacturing, including all levels of the hierarchy of controls, from elimination down to administrative controls such as training for pharmaceutical safety and the use of PPE.
The treatment of dangerous substances, where the risk of explosion or fire exists that can be caused by an electrical spark, arc, or hot temperatures, requires specifically defined instrumentation located in a hazardous location. It also requires that interfacing signals coming from a hazardous location be unable to create the necessary conditions to ignite and propagate an explosion.
This document deals with the physical principles and fundamentals of explosion protection. Regardless of geographic location, the physical principles of explosion protection are identical.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
2. DEFENITION OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
Industrial safety refers to reduce the risk of injury or loss and
danger to persons, property from the industrial hazards.
WHAT DOES A INDUSTRIAL HAZARD MEANT?
Hazard is a term associated with a substance,
That is likely to cause injury to a personnel,
(or)
One which may lead to loss of property, products etc;
(or)
A substance that might prove fatal to the personnel.
3. OBJECTIVES OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
Understand the harmful effects of industrial hazards
Define the relationship between hazard and risk
Explore the routes of exposure to industrial hazards
Shed lights on type of toxicity by industrial hazards
Know the most toxic environmental hazardous substances.
4. INDUSTRIAL HAZARD V/S RISK
Hazard is the potential of a substance to cause damage.
Toxicity is the hazard of a substance which can cause
poisoning.
Risk is a measure of the probability that harm will occur under
defined conditions of exposure to a chemical. (Patrick et al.,
1986).
5. 2.TYPES OF HAZARDS
• Fire hazards
• Chemical hazards
• Electrical hazards
• Mechanical hazards
6. FIRE HAZARDS
Fire:
The self-sustaining process of rapid oxidation of a fuel which
produces heat and light.
Fire is an exothermic chemical reaction between oxygen
and fuel at certain temperature.
Three things essential for the combustion of fire are
Fuel (any combustible material)
Oxygen (At concentrations above 23 %
in air, the situation becomes
dangerous due to the
increased fire hazard)
Temperature.
7. SOURCES OF FIRE HAZARDS
Fuels include solids, liquids, vapours and gases.
solid fuels
wood, fabrics, synthetic materials, packing materials, papers
etc.,.
Liquid fuels
flammable liquids (e.g., nitrophenol, ammonium nitrate and
pottassium chlorate, paint and oil soaked rags, cotton or
cellulose soaked with sulphuric acid etc.,.).
Other sources include flame, sparks, spontaneous ignition
and self combustible chemicals. (Khanna,1992).
8. CLASSIFCATION OF FIRES
Most fires that occur will fall into
one or more of the following
categories
Class A
Fires involving ordinary
combustible materials, such as Paper,
wood, and textile fibers, where a
cooling, blanketing, or wetting
extinguishing agent is needed.
9. Class B:
Fires involving flammable
liquids such as gasoline, thinners,
oil-based paints and greases.
Extinguishers for this type of fire
include carbon dioxide, dry
chemical* and halogenated agent
types.
10. Class C
Fires involving energized
electrical equipment, where a non
conducting gaseous clean agent or
smothering agent is needed. The
most common type of extinguisher
for this class is a carbon dioxide
exinguisher.
11. Class D
Fires involving
combustible metals such as
magnesium, sodium, potassium,
titanium, and aluminum. Special
dry powder extinguishing
agents are required for this class
of fire, and must be tailored to
the specific hazardous metal.
12. Class K
Fires involving commercial
cooking appliances with vegetable
oils, animal oils or fats at high
temperatures. A wet potassium
acetate, low pH-based agent is
used for this class of fire.

Many chemicals can cause severe burns, if these coming to
contact with living tissue or other routes like inhalation.
Living tissue may be destroyed by chemical reactions such as
dehydration, digestion, oxidation etc.
Eye and mucus membrane of the throat are particularly
susceptible to the effect of corrosive dust, mist and gases.
Chloroform, benzene, chlorinated hydro carbons, low boiling
fractions of petroleum are some of the common organic
solvents used in pharmaceutical industry.
21. Hazards may arise when impure or contaminated chemicals
are used.
By products may accumulate relatively high concentrations in
parts of the plant and cause un expected effects.
In pharmaceutical industry most of the dermatitis can be
attributed to synthetic drugs, especially acridines and
phenothiazines.
22. SAFETY ASPECTS IN CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Application of barrier creams before commencing the work
has been found useful in protecting individuals from hazardous
chemicals.
While using the high vapor pressure solvents and grinding of
vegetable drugs (e.g., capsicum and podophyllum) safety
goggles are to be worn. Because these will effects the eyes.
23. Tolerance levels for toxic chemicals should be followed as set
by Federal regulations.
Occupational safety and health administration also include to
Check
• Compiling of process safety information
• Maintaining safe operating procedures
• Training and educating employees

24. MECHANCAL HAZARDS
• These are associated with powers-driven machine, whether
automated or manually operated by steam, hydraulic and/or
electric power introduced new hazards into work place.
• Mechanical hazards are exacerbated by the large number and
different designs of equipment, crowded work place conditions
and different interaction between workers and equipment.
• Hazardous electrical and pneumatic thermal energy must be
released or controlled before working on active equipment.
• High sound levels may be generated by manufacturing
equipment (e.g., ball mill) there by increasing their exposure to
noise.
• Injuries like cutting, tearing, shearing, puncturing and crushing
may occur with moving machinery.
