Abstract
In 2008, Iraq's parliament ratified the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), which obligates participants to establish tobacco use monitoring, surveillance, and evaluation systems. Lack of data on adolescent tobacco use in Iraq led the Ministry of Health (MOH) to conduct the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) in Baghdad in 2008. GYTS is a school-based survey of students aged 13--15 years that is self-administered in classes in selected schools. As in most Middle East countries, tobacco use in Iraq takes the form of cigarettes and shisha. Based on GYTS results, 7.4% of students aged 13--15 years reported having ever smoked cigarettes, 12.9% had ever smoked shisha, 3.2% currently smoked cigarettes, and 6.3% currently smoked shisha. Among never smokers aged 13--15 years, 13.0% reported they were likely to initiate cigarette smoking in the next year. Future declines in adolescent tobacco use in Iraq (and Baghdad) could be enhanced by expanding existing tobacco control programs to include prevention and cessation of the use of cigarettes and shisha, implementing measures that discourage adolescents who have never smoked from initiating tobacco use, expanding legislation to ban exposure to secondhand smoke in all indoor workplaces, and enacting legislation banning pro-tobacco advertising and sponsorship.

Abstract
The study was performed on 50 adult male cigarette and hubble smokers. The aim was to study and compare the cigarette and hubble bubble smoke on some chemical and biological functions of the smoke component. Plasma epinephrine, glucose, lactate/pyruvate ratio, growth hormone, free fatty acids, and cortisol were significantly higher in smokers than non smokers especially cigarette smokers. Plasma insulin concentration showed a significantly delayed response to the increased blood glucose. Plasma proteins, urea, pyruvate, creatinine and vitamin B12 were significantly reduced inn smokers than non smokers especially cigarette smokers. Both blood erythrocytes and leucocytes were increased significantly in smokers. Blood gases showed significantly low PaO2, significant blood level of Co fraction, while PaCO2 was unaffected. Urinary catecholamines were significantly higher in smokers especially in cigarette smokers

Abstract
This paper briefly details the use of Mono Line, a high density polyethylene waste water pipe, for the new industrial waste line at Milwaukee Railroad's St. Paul, Minn. shops. Mono Line is an engineered pipe with a wall thickness based on internal operating pressures and pipe size. It is a pipe designed for direct burial; a high degree of resistance to chemicals makes it ideal for carrying effluents, waste and sewage. It was particularly suitable for the St. Paul yards installation, since leaching action through the cinder fill set up corrosive sulfuric acid conditions destructive to ordinary pipe material.

Abstract
Lead has been used by man since earliest historical times. Its present day applications include batteries, roofing, water pipes and radioactive shielding. Lead compounds are used in the paint industry, as additives to gasoline, in the glass industry, in type making and in pesticides. Lead can also be released in the atmosphere through natural means, such as forest fires and volcanic activity. Ten times as much lead arrives in the atmosphere from human activities, and the greatest part originates with the burning of gasoline. Lead exists in the atmosphere in particles. The concept of the Mass Equivalent Diameter (MED) used in measuring these particles is described as the fictitious diameter which is equivalent to the diameter of a pure spherical particle of a mass with the same falling speed as the particle in question. Mobility of these particles in exhaust gases is discussed. Lifetime in the atmosphere is also important, and appears to range from 20 to 40 days. Lead is also released into the soil and waters, and its concentration has increased sharply since World War II as a result of increased gasoline consumption on a world scale.

Abstract
Jurak and moasel are tobacco products that contain, in addition to tobacco, juice of sugar cane, fruits, spices, tar and nicotine. These products are smoked by hubble-bubble, a popular smoking habit in the Middle Eastern and North African countries. Charcoal is put directly on these products during smoking and the smoke passes through water for cooling purpose before it goes to the lung, without filtering. Radioactivity levels were measured in these products, tobacco leaves, charcoal and in cigarette tobacco of most well known brand names by gamma spectrometry system consisting of HPGe detector coupled to a PC-based 8192 channel mutlichannel analyzer. The average 226Ra concentrations in jurak, moasel, tobacco leaves, charcoal and cigarette tobacco in Bq/kg were: 3.4, 1.8, 3.2, 2.9 and 7 respectively; that of 232Th were: 3.8, 2.6, 3.5, 2.2 and 7.8 respectively; that of 40K were 620, 445, 511, 163 and 876 respectively. It is expected that a jurak smoker inhales 10 times the radioactivity and a moasal smoker twice that compared to a 25 cigarette/d smoker.
