One example is the belated recognition that seemingly inert and benign halogenated hydrocarbons were interfering with the ozone layer. Another is the slowness to acknowledge the possibility of novel transmission mechanisms for spongiform encephalopathies ( mad cow disease ).

Iran points out that some of the hydrocarbons, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are very toxic.

These are the same bonds that hold hydrocarbons together.

The enzymes remanufactured the hydrocarbons into carbohydrates fungal sugars.

And as you're looking at this system, if hydrocarbons are concentrated sunlight, then bioenergy works in a different way. And we've got to start thinking of oil and other hydrocarbons as part of these solar panels.

In domestic refrigeration he stated that HFC 134a and hydrocarbons continued to be dominant alternatives.

The representative of the Secretariat explained that Guyana had reported consumption of 6.300 ODP tonnes of Annex B, group I substances (other fully halogenated CFCs) in 2004.

NOTE 1 Examples of substances included in Category 1 are certain hydrocarbons, turpentine and pine oil.

The waste was combinated with 1.7 per cent lead, other heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

For our part, we are doing all we can to conserve energy and develop alternatives to hydrocarbons.

The combustion of petrol and diesel fuel causes emissions of fine particulates and hydrocarbons, including carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), while the combustion of coal releases arsenic, mercury and other heavy metals which are toxic to humans and animals if inhaled or swallowed.

1. The fourth meeting of the South West Atlantic Hydrocarbons Commission took place in London on 5 December 1997.

The Party had originally reported zero baseline level consumption of other fully halogenated CFCs. It was the first time that Guyana had reported any consumption of Annex B, group I substances.

The representative of the Secretariat explained that Chile had responded to decision XVI 22, advising that its Annex B group I (other fully halogenated CFCs) consumption in 2003 had actually been zero.

The Georgian side expressed its readiness to allow the transit through its territory to third countries of hydrocarbons from Kazakhstan.

They also referred to various measures introduced by the Government to minimize environmental degradation in the areas where hydrocarbons were extracted.

According to Iran, the damage resulted from (a) direct impacts of the increased amounts of airborne pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX,), ozone, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (b) leaf infections due mainly to black rain and (c) infection of the soil by deposits of heavy metals and toxic hydrocarbons.

For example, catalytic converters fitted to passenger cars have had beneficial impacts on local air quality by reducing nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and methane.

Rising oil prices are due to the sharp increase in demand by the major consumers, which have not adopted effective policies to reduce their dependency on hydrocarbons.

The dry deposition was in the form of gaseous pollutants and soot particles containing heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzoapyrene, which is a known carcinogen.

A few deals to export Russian hydrocarbons to China can be expected, but not much more. Nonetheless, the visit will highlight several important features of the bilateral relationship.

France, for its part, has on a number of occasions been the victim of accidents, raising questions about the maritime transportation of hydrocarbons and its serious environmental impact.

One activity included calculations of emissions reductions for CH4 and N2O, and another activity calculated the emissions reductions of CO, THC (total hydrocarbons), NOx, and particle matter (PM).

Proven and confirmed reserves of hydrocarbons are quite sufficient to justify planning and constructing right now several major pipelines that would supplement the existing one in the north.

Whereas the other three piles were dead, dark and stinky, and the PAH's the aromatic hydrocarbons went from 10,000 parts per million to less than 200 in eight weeks.

And we've just recently demonstrated this by putting extract of hydrocarbons on little glass beads, and dropping the beads gently down into the nest entrance at the right rate.

Cooperation continues in the forum of the South Atlantic Fisheries Commission, which has the conservation of fish stocks at the forefront of its agenda, and at the South West Atlantic Hydrocarbons Commission where, in particular, progress is being made with arrangements for the joint development of hydrocarbons in the special cooperation area, set up by the joint declaration of 27 September 1995 between the United Kingdom and Argentina.

We regret, however, the specific focus on that issue, since safety and security measures in general should be strengthened for the maritime transportation of all hazardous materials and pollutants, particularly hydrocarbons.

Despite our differences with Argentina on the subject of sovereignty, we maintain a constructive dialogue with the Argentine Government on matters such as hydrocarbons development and fisheries in the south Atlantic.

(a) To note with appreciation Chile's submission of revised data for the consumption of Annex B group I substances (other fully halogenated CFCs) for 2003 which showed that the Party had been in compliance with the Montreal Protocol's control measures for those substances in that year

And we've learned that, in this species and I suspect in others as well these hydrocarbons, this layer of grease on the outside of ants, is different as ants perform different tasks.

He noted, however, that, in some Parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5, where the original Multilateral Fund projects had been based on hydrocarbons, this was primarily for investment cost reasons.

The Committee agreed to note that Guyana had submitted revised data for 2004 to correct the misclassification of imports as methyl chloroform and Annex B group I substances (other fully halogenated CFCs), and that the revised data placed the Party in compliance with the Protocol's control measures in 2004.

His Government continued to protest against and to reject all unilateral actions concerning the territory under dispute, including seismic prospecting for hydrocarbons and the sale of fishing licences in the area under dispute.

The current high price of imported energy, mainly hydrocarbons, is of concern for developed and developing countries, as well as countries with economies in transition, but places a particular strain on poorer countries.

In this sense, projects on the impact of the hydrocarbons exploration and exploitation on the marine living resources in the South West Atlantic and on detection and tracking of floating icebergs were considered.

We have recreated a climate of mutual trust in the South West Atlantic, which enables us today to cooperate in the conservation of living resources and in the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons.

24. The third meeting of the South West Atlantic Hydrocarbons Commission concluded its work on 16 July 1997 in Buenos Aires. The follow up statement of the Commission was issued on the same date

Both sides discussed ways of cooperating on the promotion of the exploration for and exploitation of hydrocarbons in the maritime areas of the South West Atlantic, subject to a controversy on sovereignty and jurisdiction.

25. The fourth meeting of the South West Atlantic Hydrocarbons Commission concluded its work on 5 December 1997 in London. The follow up joint statement of the Commission was issued on the same date

And we've done experiments that show that that's because the longer an ant stays outside, the more these simple hydrocarbons on its surface change, and so they come to smell different by doing different tasks.
