Focal intestinal metaplasia is the potentially reversible change from a fully differentiated stomach cell type to an intestinal cell type. It is associated with significantly increased risk of cancer. . Proper diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of gastric cancer. slide 1 of 6.
The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of a compound is a simple measure of. its ability to destroy stratospheric ozone. It is a relative measure: the ODP of CFC-11 is defined to be 1.0, and the ODP's of other compounds. are calculated with respect to this reference point. Thus a compound with.
Ozone-depleting substances. Gases that damage the ozone layer-ozone-depleting substances (ODS) - have been used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, mainly in refrigerators, air conditioners and fire extinguishers.They have also been used as aerosol propellants, solvents and blowing agents for insulation foams.o protect the ozone layer the international community established the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer in 1987. The European Union and its Member States are at the forefront of ozone layer protection with a policy that often goes beyond the requirements of the Montreal Protocol.
