Download The Conversion of Liquid Rocket Fuels: risk assessment, by Wolfgang Spyra, Kay Winkelmann PDF

Show description

Nitro samines are a priori suspicious compounds because a majority of these compounds are proved to cause cancer in humans, or are thought to have this potential. If these chemicals reach humans, weather through dilution into water sources or through the food chain, the health risks cannot be out ruled. Only acute Toxicology of Military Hazards 45 symptoms can probably be avoided. The answer to this question has already been given to us by Paracelsus. When isonite is used as intended, to place a rocket into flight, the same sorts of environmental problems are generated with polluted water and carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrose gases emissions.

Figure 3 shows the diversity of interactions between toxicology and physiology/pharmacology, biochemistry, internal medicine, and chemistry. However, in the same way the reactions in question in the pathology square, between forensic medicine, analytical chemistry, and genetics may also be discussed.

To protect oneself from incorporating contaminants into the human body, one must know the possible paths of uptake of the contaminant into the body. The rocket propellants will here be described as melanj, samine and izonite. The chemical compositions of these liquids are known. The physical parameters for these liquids, such as the melting and boiling points, vapour pressure, density, viscosity etc. are also known. This information along with knowledge of environmental data such as the climate allows scientists to estimate the state of the material in different given environmental conditions.
