Dermal exposure Clause Samples

Dermal exposure. Potential non- occupational dermal exposure to Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 is unlikely because the use sites are commercial and agricultural, not residential, and because of the granular nature of the pesticide, which minimizes pesticide drift. As discussed earlier (see Unit III.), lack of hypersensitivity incidents, low application rates, and the return of levels of Aspergillus flavus to background levels shortly after germination, leads EPA to conclude that this pesticide poses minimal risk to human populations via non- occupational dermal exposure, which exposure is expected to be no greater than the existing exposure to Aspergillus flavus at current levels.

Dermal exposure. ‌ The conceptual model for dermal exposure is illustrated in Figure 6 and describes how the application of a plant protection product can eventually result in dermal exposure. The application of a PPP will result in an initial deposit on the crop because the spraying liquid is partially intercepted by the crop. A fraction of the deposit will not reach the target (i.e. the crop), but will be lost due to drift or will be deposited on the soil. Re-entry workers can come into contact with the deposit on the crop during re-entry activities such as harvesting. Re- entry however usually doesn’t take place immediately after application but sometime after the application. The time period between application and re-entry is known as the re-entry interval. During this interval, processes such as degradation and volatilisation may take place, resulting in a reduction of the initial deposit on the crop while dry (dust) or wet (rain) deposition may contribute to the deposit on the crop. When the worker re-enters the crop and makes contact with the crop, a fraction of the remaining residue is dislodged and transferred from the crop to the worker, resulting in dermal exposure. The extent of the exposure is mainly influenced by the intensity of the contact with the crop, the amount of dislodgeable residue on the crop and the duration of the contact. A certain amount of spray liquid will not reach the crop but will be deposited on the soil. Similar to the deposit on the crop, the amount of (available) residue on the soil will decrease during the re-entry interval due to processes such as degradation or sorption to the soil. Wash-off from the crop and deposition from the air may on the other hand contribute to the deposit on the soil. During activities that involve contact with the soil (e.g. weeding), dermal exposure can take place when small amounts of soil adhere to the skin and the substance is transferred from the soil to the worker. When making contact with the crop or soil, the skin of the worker can either be bare or covered by clothing and/or Personal Protective equipment (PPE). Clothing and PPE provide the worker a certain level of protection, because only a fraction of the transferred PPP migrates through the clothing and PPE and reaches the skin. Only a fraction of the substance that reaches the skin will penetrate the skin and be absorbed into the internal system of the worker. At this point, it is important to emphasize to difference between potential dermal ex...

Dermal exposure. ‌ Dermal exposure is estimated by assuming that the level of exposure depends of the amount of residue present on the crop, the amount of contact with the crop and the duration of exposure. First, the algorithms used to estimate dermal exposure are described. Next, the input parameters used in these algorithms are discussed in more detail.

  • Revolving Committed Amount If at any time after the Closing Date, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus outstanding LOC Obligations shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below).

  • Exposure For purposes of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, in determining a party’s Exposure under this Agreement, all outstanding Transactions shall be deemed to be in effect at the time of such determination notwithstanding the Effective Date thereof as set out in the relevant Confirmation.

  • Revolving Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers from time to time from the Effective Date until the Termination Date, or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated as provided herein for the purposes hereinafter set forth (provided, that, all Revolving Loans made prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be made to Speedway Funding); provided, however, that (x) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans at any time shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (y) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans on the Effective Date shall not exceed $20,000,000 (which outstanding amount shall result only from borrowings of Revolving Loans the proceeds of which are used to finance the Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and for fees and expenses related to the Merger); provided, further, (i) with regard to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s share of outstanding Revolving Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Obligations shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) (as such aggregate maximum amount may from time to time be increased pursuant to Section 2.6 or reduced as provided in Section 3.3). Revolving Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrowers may request and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that no more than six Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time with respect to Revolving Loans. For purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date and have the same duration, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period.

  • Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure During any period in which any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Non-Defaulting Lender. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If the allocation described in this clause (iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion).

  • Reduction of Total Commitment The Borrower shall have the right at ----------------------------- any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $2,500,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or terminate entirely the Total Commitment, whereupon the Commitments of the Banks shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their --- ---- respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated. Promptly after receiving any notice of the Borrower delivered pursuant to this (S)2.3, the Agent will notify the Banks of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks the full amount of any commitment fee then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated.
