Article | July 14, 2022

The landscape of biological and chemical logistics has changed rapidly - as have the regulatory frameworks around it. What has not necessarily kept pace is the end-user understanding of the nature of these logistical processes, their opportunities and their constraints. Twenty years ago, the transmission of biological and chemical materials was limited to a small range of organisations: usually national and international research companies, hospitals, major university departments, police and military departments with forensic responsibilities.

Article | August 2, 2022

The modern world is built on chemicals, be it the medicines we use, or cleaning fluids, crop protection products, or the raw materials for everything from laptops and mobile phones to clothes and furniture. Across all, we have created an entire modern society with chemicals, and, as a result, constantly stretched the size of the world population we can feed, clothe and shelter. Yet, balancing all the gains from the modern chemistry around us against any negative environmental and human impact has been a rising concern, making for ever greater focus on testing and on risk assessment.

Why chemical characterization is the best way to assess patient risk

Article | July 13, 2021

Everyone is very familiar with the phrase when buying a house: All that really matters are three things - location, location, and location. This same principle applies to extractables and leachables chemistry analysis – the three things that truly matter are identification, identification, and identification. The greatest growth in the past ten years in demonstrating the safety of medical devices and container closure systems for drugs has been using analytical chemistry to determine what chemicals can leach from the device and what the patient is exposed to during its intended use.

How much do risk management plans tell about chemical hazards?

Beaumont Enterprise | December 19, 2019

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says risk management plans are essential to helping local communities and emergency responders understand hazardous incidents like the Nov. 27 explosion at the TPC Group plant in Port Neches. A provision of the Clean Air Act requires companies with certain chemicals to create a risk management plan, or RMP, and file it with the EPA and local governments. The purpose is to foster “communication and awareness to improve accident prevention and emergency response practices at the local level,” according to the agency. But to view an RMP, a private citizen in Southeast Texas has to contact the Department of Justice to make an appointment, wait about seven days to get a response from the U.S. Marshals Service for the Eastern District of Texas and head to the federal courthouse in downtown Beaumont when the documents arrive by protected mail.

Oil giants' chemical lifeline threatened by plastic-trash crisis

Engineering News | June 06, 2019

The global crackdown on plastic trash threatens to take a big chunk out of demand growth just as oil companies like Saudi Aramco sink billions into plastic and chemicals assets. Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Total and Exxon Mobil are all ramping up investments in the sector. Renewed emphasis on recycling and the spread of local bans on some kinds of plastic products could cut petrochemical demand growth to one-third of its historical pace, to about 1.5% a year, said Paul Bjacek, a principal director at consulting firm Accenture.
