CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Rationale of the study There are more than 3 000 known mosquito species. However‚ of the 150 species that are potential vectors‚ only 30 are considered dangerous. The three genera Anopheles‚ Aedes and Culex‚ from three sub-families‚ are disease relevant. The epidemiology and the life cycle stages demonstrate the importance of climatic factors and that water is the essential environmental component for mosquitoes. The immature

du17.3 Million Filipino Adults Are Current Tobacco Smokers Twenty-eight percent or 17.3 million Filipino adults age 15 years and older are current tobacco smokers‚ according to the results of the 2009 Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS). Almost half (48 percent or 14.6 million) of adult males and 9 percent (2.8 million) of adult females are current smokers. Moreover‚ 23 percent of Filipino adults are daily tobacco smokers: 38 percent for males and 7 percent for females. Filipinos mainly smoke

This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Petrochemical Manufacturing in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be ’the difficulty‚ or otherwise‚ of the business operating environment’. The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk)‚ risks arising from the expected future performance

effects of polyhalogen compounds. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Haloarenes Halogenated compounds persist in the environment due to their resistance to breakdown by soil bacteria. 10 Unit The replacement of hydrogen atom(s) in a hydrocarbon‚ aliphatic or aromatic‚ by halogen atom(s) results in the formation of alkyl halide (haloalkane) and aryl halide (haloarene)‚ respectively. Haloalkanes contain halogen atom(s) attached to the sp3 hybridised carbon atom of an alkyl group whereas haloarenes
