Reducing Hazardous Dust Exposure When Cutting Fiber-Cement Siding
Breathing dust that contains respirable crystalline silica can lead to silicosis, a deadly lung disease. Respirable dust is that fraction of the aerosol that is small enough to reach the deeper, gas-exchange regions of the lungs. No effective treatment exists for silicosis, but it can be prevented by controlling workers’ exposures to dust containing crystalline silica. Exposure to crystalline s...
متن کاملExperimental Assessment of Wind Loads on Vinyl Wall Siding
Wind-induced damage to multi-layer building wall systems, such as systems with vinyl siding, is common, especially in hurricane-prone areas. Wind load distribution through these multi layered walls and the amount of load reduction due to pressure equalization is expressed through pressure equalization factors (PEFs). The ASTM D3679 standard suggests a PEF of 0.36, which means a 64% reduction in...
متن کاملComet 162P/Siding Spring: A Surprisingly Large Nucleus
We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in December 2004. The comet showed no dust coma at this time, so we have sampled emission from the comet’s nucleus. Observations using the “Mid-Infrared Spectrometer and Imager” (“MIRSI”) were performed at NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility, where the peak of the comet...
متن کاملRailway transportation as a serious source of organic and inorganic pollution
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Hg, Fe, Co, Cr, Mo) contents were established in soil and plant samples collected in different areas of the railway junction Iława Główna, Poland. Soil and plant samples were collected in four functional parts of the junction, i.e. the loading ramp, main track within platform area, rolling stock cleaning bay and the railway sidin...
متن کاملComparison of Annoyance from Railway Noise and Railway Vibration
The aim of this study is to compare vibration exposure to noise exposure from railway traffic in terms of equal annoyance, i.e., to determine when a certain noise level is equally annoying as a corresponding vibration velocity. Based on questionnaire data from the Train Vibration and Noise Effects (TVANE) research project from residential areas exposed to railway noise and vibration, the dose r...
