However, inside some of the new storage tanks, a crystallized crust has now formed on the surface of the liquid wastes, trapping explosive hydrogen gas beneath it. Spent fuel rods from commercial nuclear reactors are currently stored on metal racks in pools of water at the reactor sites. These storage pools were designed for temporary use, but the U.S. Government has not yet found a suitable permanent disposal site for the wastes that have accumulated in the pools.

Selenium may react with either acid and water or hydrogen gas to produce hydrogen selenide. Other selenium compounds include selenite salts, selenium dioxide, selenious acid, selenium oxide, selenium dieth-yldithiocarbamate, and selenium hexafluoride. Sources of Exposure: Selenium is found naturally in the air, seawater, and minerals in the earth. As a pollutant, selenium is found in the air as selenium dioxide, a by-product of copper and nickel smelting and silver refining. Selenium may be found in low levels in wells and drinking water.

HYDROGENATION • The process of adding hydrogen gas under high pressure to liquid oils. It is the most widely used chemical process in the edible fat industry. Used in the manufacture of petrol from coal, and in the manufacture of margarine and shortening. Used primarily in the cosmetic and food industries to convert liquid oils to semisolid fats at room temperature. Reduces the amount of acid in the compound and improves color. Usually, the higher the amount of hydrogenation, the lower the unsaturation in the fat and the less possibility of flavor degradation or spoilage due to oxidation.

Strapped to the bottom of the machine is a tank of hydrogen gas, which he lights — whooosh — before turning on the unit. The machine then pulls air through the flame, which ionizes the particles in the air and counts them. "I don't know anybody else who uses this. It's a piece of equipment I had my eye on for years. Cost me only four thousand bucks. I got a nice discount on that," he says, with independent-businessman pride. The machine spits and crackles as he moves from room to room. His particle counter, a blocky boom box-like machine, stays put.

Accumulation of hydrogen gas in significant amounts in the presence of an electric spark may result in an explosion. Therefore, those undergoing these procedures should stop lactulose intake at least a week before the procedure. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid lactulose. ADVERSE REACTIONS Laxative doses are typically 20 to 40 grams daily. Doses up to 10 grams daily are usually well tolerated. Some may be more sensitive to the possible gastrointestinal side effects of lactulose. The adverse reactions are mainly gastrointestinal and include flatus and abdominal cramps.

When introduced into the interior of the hemorrhoid, the negative pole of the galvanic current makes contact with the water of the blood and generates hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions. The hydroxide destroys the organized structure of the hemorrhoid and its capillary circulation. This produces first a hydrolysis and then a hardening of the hemorrhoid. The final disappearance of the hemorrhoid is brought about in one of two ways.

Bohr based his calculations on the lines that form the spectrum of hydrogen gas (when a pure gas is heated, the spectrum consists of discontinuous lines, not a full rainbow). Bohr explained the lines by saying the light is emitted when the electron changes from a higher quantum number to a lower one. There was not a continuous spectrum because the electron moved from orbit to orbit in "quantum jumps." More complex atoms were beyond direct calculations, but approximations indicated that the same approach was correct. But there were minor complications.

HYDROGENATION • The process of adding hydrogen gas under high pressure to liquid oils. It is the most widely used chemical process in the edible fat industry. Used in the manufacture of petrol from coal and in the manufacture of margarine and shortening. Used primarily in the cosmetic and food industries to covert liquid oils to semisolid fats, Crisco, for example, at room temperature. Reduces the amount of acid in the compound and improves color.

The process of hydrogenation is accomplished by bubbling hydrogen gas through oil, which produces trans-fatty acids. Recent human studies indicate that consumption of trans-fatty acids in margarine and shortenings may contribute to higher rates of cancer and heart disease. Food makers add these to improve the creaminess of a product, and to extend its shelf life. Some foods like pie crusts are packed with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to achieve their flaky texture and taste. Be wary since food labels do not include the amount of trans-fatty acids.

In hydrogenation, the double bonds are broken by hydrogen gas and the unsaturated fatty acids become saturated with hydrogen. This means that all sites for chemical bonding are filled. Naturally saturated fatty acids are commonly consumed in meat and dairy products. They are also manufactured in your liver and stored in your body's fat cells. Saturated fatty acids are straight, not twisting, in shape, and impart stiffness and solidity to membranes.

When we shine the light from excited hydrogen gas through a spectroscope, we get over one hundred different lines of color in a distinct pattern.* The question is, "How can such a simple thing like a hydrogen atom, which has only two components, a proton and an electron, account for such a complex spectrum?" One way of thinking about light is to ascribe wave-like properties to it, and then to say that different colors have different frequencies, just as different sounds, which also are waves, have different frequencies.

In sum, if we shine white light through hydrogen gas and then through a prism, the result is the familiar white-light spectrum, but with over one hundred black lines in it. Each of these black lines corresponds to a specific energy amount that was required to make a hydrogen electron jump from one shell to another shell farther out.

These black lines in the white-light spectrum form exactly the same pattern that we get when we shine the light emitted from excited hydrogen gas directly through a prism—except, in that case, the lines are colored and the rest of the white-light spectrum is missing. Of course, the colored lines are caused by the electrons returning to lower-level shells and, in the process, emitting energy amounts equal to what they absorbed when we first made them jump. Bohr's theory permitted physicists to calculate the frequencies of the light given off by simple hydrogen atoms.

They evolve through a life cycle which begins with hydrogen gas and sometimes ends with a very dense, burned-out, rotating mass. The exact end product of this process depends upon the size of the star undergoing it. According to one theory, stars which are about three times the size of our sun or larger end up as black holes. The remains of such stars are unimaginably dense. They may be only a few miles in diameter and yet contain the entire mass of a star three times larger than the sun.

HYDROGENATION A process of treating liquid oil with hydrogen gas to change its molecular structure. This process saturates the fatty acids to render a solid or semisolid product like margarine and shortening. Most processed cheeses and commercial peanut butters also contain hydrogenated oil. Avoid all hydrogenated products. HYPERTENSION High blood pressure. HYPOGLYCEMIA A lack of sugar in the blood that causes muscle weakness, sweating, and mental confusion. IMMUNE SYSTEM The body's system that recognizes and defends against foreign materials such as allergens and infectious organisms.
