The relationship between serious injury and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in fatal motor vehicle accidents: BAC = 0.01% is associated with significantly more dangerous accidents than BAC = 0.00%

“… Our study appears to be the first to find that accident severity increases significantly even if the driver is merely buzzed. Heretofore, laboratory studies of alcohol have found psychomotor effects at BAC as low as 0.02% [2–7]. However, our non‐laboratory findings suggest that researchers should seek harmful effects of alcohol at an even lower BAC. It might be surprising that the skills of a buzzed driver could be sufficiently degraded to increase the severity of an accident.…”

“…This study also found that cognitive impairment was particularly evident for ‘more complex and urgent tasks’. Other laboratory studies have similarly found deleterious effects at low BAC [2–7].…”

Valuable Metals—Recovery Processes, Current Trends, and Recycling Strategies

“…Approximately 250-300 to fm ercury-contaminatedf luorescent lamp scrap with average levels of RE metals of about 10 wt %a re disposed of in Germany every year. [230] Prior to awet chemical recovery process,such as used by Solvay Rare Earth in La Rochelle,H gh as to be fully removed by distillation at > 357 8 8C. In addition to EoL lamp scrap,t here are also Hg-free production wastes with rare earth metal contents up to 22 wt %.…”

“…Since 2008, both waste materials have been partially recycled in wet chemical processes for the recovery of rare earth oxides ( Figure S17 in the Supporting Information). At the moment, Solvay is capable of recycling about 3000 to fH g-free energy-saving lamps per year, [230] whereas FNE Entsorgungsdienste Freiberg treats production wastes with the SepSELSA process. [231] Forr ecycling of the more demanding EoL products,aprocess has been developed at Freiberg University of Mining and Te chnology,w hich realizes the selective digestion of Ya nd Eu by solid-state chlorination, while bypassing any additional step of Hg removal.…”

Develop a Novel Method for Removing Fusel Alcohols from Rice Spirits Using Nanofiltration

“…Fusel alcohols are byproducts of the ethanol distilling of a mixture of several alcohols (Kujawski and others 2002). Alcohols with 2 or more carbon atoms are generally known as higher alcohols, or fusel alcohols (Huckenbeck and Bonte 2003; Lachenmeier and others 2008). The fusel alcohols in rice spirits are mainly composed of propan‐1‐ol, butan‐1‐ol, 2‐methyl‐1‐propanol, and 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol (Lachenmeier and others 2008).…”
