Footwear is a complex product, comprising various materials which are made using a wide range of chemicals. Some of these chemicals are hazardous for health and for the environment. Converting raw hides into finished products requires a number of complex treatments, for which large amounts of chemicals and water are used. The purpose of this study is to provide information on the harmful substa...

Hazardous waste management involves the collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes. In this paper a new multiobjective location-routing model is proposed. Our model also includes some constraints, which were observed in the literature but were not incorporated into previous models. The aim of the proposed model is to answer the following questions: where to open trea...

Since the late 1990s the debate in The Netherlands on the transport of hazardous materials by rail has intensified. The reason for this debate is the fact that most of the Dutch railway nodes are located in city centres. Risk is described by a formula in which the probability of an accident is multiplied by its effect. Although the probability might not be large, the effects of an accident can ...

Analysis of the risks caused by the transportation of hazardous materials presents a very different risk than a fixed facility. Sustainability of surroundings depends from a safe transportation, especially of the safe auto-transportation of dangerous goods. The aims of our research concern the methods to support decisions by evaluating transportation processes of dangerous goods. Mobile technol...

This paper describes the application of multiobjective heuristic search algorithms to the problem of hazardous material (hazmat) transportation. The selection of optimal routes inherently involves the consideration of multiple conflicting objectives. These include the minimization of risk (e.g. the exposure of the population to hazardous substances in case of accident), transportation cost, tim...

Hazardous and Toxic Materials are substances, energy, and/or other components which due to their nature, concentration amount, either directly or indirectly, can pollute damage the environment, endanger health survival of humans living thing.. toxic waste materials are. The management this hazardous is very crucial given impact it will have on human health. So study aims analyze (B3) in Indones...

Hazardous material transport accidents are events with low probability and high consequence risk. With the increase in proportion of hazardous materials transported on domestic roads, increasing number scholars have begun to study this field. In study, a multi-objective route planning model considering road traffic resilience carbon, which considers uncertainty demand time is under limit window...

The recent expansion in the production of shale petroleum crude oil, combined with the lack of new pipeline construction, has placed the railroads at the center stage for safe and efficient transport of very large volumes of this commodity. Petroleum crude oil poses fire risk in the event of train accidents. The consequence modeling based on the US DOT Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) or ALOH...

The Korean Research Project on Integrated Exposure Assessment to Hazardous Materials for Food Safety (KRIEFS) was assembled by the Institute of Food and Drug Safety Evaluation, a subsidiary of the Korea Food and Drug Administration, on March 2010, to conduct a nationwide survey of infants, children, teenagers, and adults in order to observe and assess their dietary intake and exposure to hazard...
