It is also used for air quality management and assessments of current and future air quality vis-a-vis national and regional standards in Europe and elsewhere. ADMS-Roads – A model for simulating dispersion of vehicular pollutant emissions from small road networks in combination with emissions from industrial plants.
An "incident" of chemical food contamination may be defined as an episodic occurrence of adverse health effects in humans (or animals that might be consumed by humans) following high exposure to particular chemicals, or instances where episodically high concentrations of chemical hazards were detected in the food chain and traced back to a particular event.
Hazard analysis and critical control points, or HACCP (/ ˈ h æ s ʌ p / [1]), is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe and designs measures to reduce these risks to a safe level.
Airborne transmission or aerosol transmission is transmission of an infectious disease through small particles suspended in the air. [2] Infectious diseases capable of airborne transmission include many of considerable importance both in human and veterinary medicine .
ISO 22000 is the most popular voluntary food safety international standard in the food industry with 51,535 total number of sites (as per the ISO Survey 2022).The ISO 22000 family are international voluntary consensus standards which align to Good Standardization Practices (GSP) [3] and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Principles for the Development of International Standards.

The aerosol spray canister invented by USDA researchers, Lyle Goodhue and William Sullivan. The concepts of aerosol probably go as far back as 1790. [1] The first aerosol spray can patent was granted in Oslo in 1927 to Erik Rotheim, a Norwegian chemical engineer, [1] [2] and a United States patent was granted for the invention in 1931. [3]
It is a chlorofluorocarbon halomethane (CFC) used as a refrigerant and aerosol spray propellant. In compliance with the Montreal Protocol, its manufacture was banned in developed countries (non-article 5 countries) in 1996, and in developing countries (Article 5 countries) in 2010 out of concerns about its damaging effect on the ozone layer.

The direct aerosol effect is a first-order effect and is therefore classified as a radiative forcing by the IPCC. [102] The interaction of an aerosol with radiation is quantified by the single-scattering albedo (SSA), the ratio of scattering alone to scattering plus absorption (extinction) of radiation by a particle. The SSA tends to unity if ...
