Nitrosamines are chemical compounds of the chemical structure R1N(-R2)-N=O, most of which are carcinogenic. Usages Nitrosamines are used in the manufacture of some cosmetics, pesticides, and in most rubber products. Occurrences Nitrosamine occurs in latex products such as balloons, and in many foods and other consumables. Nitrosamines from condoms are not expected to be of toxicological significance. In foods, nitrosamines are produced from nitrites and secondary amines, which often occur in the form of proteins. Their formation can occur only under certain conditions, including str...

"Made in England" is the title track from English pop-rock performer Elton John's 1995 album, Made in England. It is an autobiographical telling of his growing up, parts of his life, and what it is like in England. "Made in England" is often seen as a pro-English anthem, due to its upbeat tune and the repetition of shouts of "England" at the end of the song.

Un incinérateur est un dispositif visant à détruire des objets par incinération, c’est-à-dire par une combustion aussi complète que possible. Il se présente en général comme un four où la chaleur dégagée par les matériaux en cours de combustion est suffisante pour enflammer les matériaux ajoutés. Le mot désigne souvent une UIOM (usine d’incinération des ordures ménagères). Les incinérateurs ayant dans le passé été sources de pollutions importantes, ils ont été nommés « centre de valorisation thermique » puis « usine de valorisation énergétique » au lieu d’« usine d'incinération ». Les p...

Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials. Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment". Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas, and heat. The ash is mostly formed by the inorganic constituents of the waste, and may take the form of solid lumps or particulates carried by the flue gas. The flue gases must be cleaned of gaseous and particulate pollutants before they are dispersed into the atmosphere. In some cases, the h...
