Graduates from the Biological Sciences program will have demonstrated: An understanding of the tenets of modern biology and an understanding of how cellular functions are integrated from the molecular level to the cellular level, through to the level of organism, populations and functioning ecosystems.
Toxic hazard studies of flexible polyurethane foam include small scale testing and large. scale testing. The combustion modes examined include thermal decomposition, smoldering, and open flaming, and under ventilated flaming combustion. Of the small-. scale studies, only a few include smoldering foam.
Alone, silica gel is non-toxic, non-flammable and chemically unreactive. However, some of the beads may be doped with a moisture indicator, such as cobalt (II) chloride, which is toxic and may be carcinogenic. Cobalt (II) chloride is deep blue when dry (anhydrous) and pink when moist (hydrated). This is one reason most silica gel packets are labeled as dangerous or poisonous when eaten.
