Soil Washing to Remove Mixed Wastes
Objective The goal of this laboratory exercise is to acquaint students with some of the chemical reactions that result in the binding of inorganic and organic pollutants in subsurface materials. Extractants used by engineers to release contaminants at hazardous waste sites (where mixtures of both types of contaminants are present) may or may not prove effective, depending upon their mechanism o...
متن کاملHazardous wastes in academia.
As do many industries, colleges and universities encounter thorny problems in dealing with hazardous wastes. Industry and academia alike are saddled with the rising cost of waste management and face perpetual liability for costs of waste cleanup. Unlike many industries, however, colleges and universities generate small amounts of waste, most, but by no means all of which is generated in laborat...
متن کاملEnvis on Hazardous Wastes
Seabirds exposed to even a dime-sized amount of oil can die of hypothermia in cold-water regions, but despite repeated requests by Environment Canada, offshore oil operators are failing when it comes to self-monitoring of small oil spills, says new research. Chronic pollution from many small oil spills may have greater population-level impacts on seabirds than a single large spill, suggest rese...
متن کاملBiodegradation of hazardous wastes.
Biological treatment ofhazardous wastes has the potential for effective, practical, and economical remediation ofsome Superfund sites and other hazardous waste problems. Some biological hazardous waste treatments may also be applicable for preventing the occurrence of future hazardous waste sites. From a public health perspective, this technology may allow for the treatment of environmental haz...
متن کاملEvaluation of volatile organic emissions from hazardous waste incinerators.
Conventional methods of risk assessment typically employed to evaluate the impact of hazardous waste incinerators on public health must rely on somewhat speculative emissions estimates or on complicated and expensive sampling and analytical methods. The limited amount of toxicological information concerning many of the compounds detected in stack emissions also complicates the evaluation of the...
