(FDA.gov) U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) in Rockville, Maryland has published two new standards governing elemental impurities in medications. USP says conformance to the standards will be required starting 1 May 2014. Elemental impurities include catalysts and environmental contaminants such as lead or mercury that may be present in drugs. According to USP, elemental . . . → Read More: New Standards Released for Drug Impurity Limits, Methods  3 comments - (Comments are closed)  Regulations  biomedical, chemistry, life sciences, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, physical sciences, standard Oil rig in the North Sea (Crawfish Head/Flickr) Geoscientists at University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, with the British Geological Survey, will examine the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) to recover more oil from North Sea wells, while storing the CO2 underground.
