The regulatory compliance standards for modern pharmaceutical products are among the harshest in the world, demanding cutting-edge quality assurance and quality control procedures to ensure that ...

The challenge of achieving zero visible defects (i.e., particulates) in parenteral drugs will require a coordinated effort at all stages of the supply chain, particularly in the production and filling ...

A streamlined workflow using Six Sigma's DMAIC methodology was developed to identify and mitigate visible particles in biologics, reducing time and resources while maintaining quality. Visual ...

A previously unknown mechanisms may explain why air pollution in the form of particulates causes heart attacks, stroke, and increasing mortality. Particulates in diesel exhaust are a substantial cause ...

People have been choking on manmade air pollution for roughly half a million years, ever since Pleistocene cavemen huddled around the first campfires. That was clearly worth a few lungfuls of soot — ...

Particulates and residues are key types of contamination present in the pharmaceutical industry. These may be produced from an extensive range of sources including undissolved residuals in buffer and ...

Particulates make us ill, and particulates affect the climate. The direct combustion of wood and other fuels is only partially responsible for producing fine particulates – the rest evolve from a ...

To expose and extract coal seams buried deep under mountains, miners blast through rock with explosives in a method called mountaintop removal mining. In Appalachia where such mining is widespread, ...

The surface physical-chemical characteristics, specifically surface acidity and surface electrical properties of sludge particulates, govern the fate and transport of heavy metals in wastewater ...

Particulates are small pieces of solid material (for example, smoke particles from fire, bits of asbestos, dust particles and ash from industries) that dispersed into the atmosphere. These are not ...

Wildfire smoke spreading from Canada have resulted in multiple alerts across nearly a dozen states this summer. And while these Canadian fires are largely contained, they’re far from the only problem.
