1. A report issued by the medical examiner this week claimed the driver had inhaled a chemical solvent that could have impaired her judgment. 2. But Epic produces its microspheres by using plain water rather than chemical solvents like methylene chloride. 3. Carolyn Patrick, chief executive of Epic, said that using the water process would probably be less expensive than manufacturing drugs with chemical solvents. 4. Contaminants on the site and in the groundwater include petroleum hydrocarbons and chemical solvent left behind from industrial users. 5. Earlier studies detected trichloroethylene, a chemical solvent, in the same two wells. 6. In one example of the way supercritical carbon dioxide can be used in place of chemical solvents, Union Carbide now uses it as a thinner for industrial spray-painting. 7. Obviously, most chemical solvents are flammable and release toxic fumes. 8. Removal procedures consist of scraping the paint off or stripping it with a chemical solvent. 9. Similar to machine-washing, dry cleaning uses an agitation method, but a liquid chemical solvent is used rather than water. 10. The cleanup involves treating contaminants in the groundwater, including a variety of chemical solvents, Heller said. |
