The Hazardous Material Removal Program will provide all academic departments and faculty with the opportunity to dispose of unneeded hazardous chemicals and radioactive material with no EH&S recharge. The disposal program will be organized building by building and advanced notice will be given to each department. Radioactive waste and materials along with routine chemical waste will be collecte...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine the potential environmental risk of tailings resulted after precious and base metal ores processing, stored in seven impoundments located in the Aries river basin, Romania. The tailings were characterized by mineralogical and elemental composition, contamination indices, acid rock drainage generation potential and water leachab...

Diagnostic accuracy of a computer assisted diagnostic system compared to conventional markers of alcoholism. Netherlands (van Lambalgen, professor of logic and artificial intelligence). Acknowledgements All laboratory tests, except carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) were performed in the ABSTRACT Context Conventional tests for alcoholism have good screening properties for detecting hazard...

The release of chemical, biological and explosive (CBE) hazardous materials is a very important and recurring topic concerning personal safety and security. Consistently, the public is shocked by attacks of varying dimensions. Therefore, it is important to find methods, which provide the ability to detect and identify hazardous materials at an early stage without having contact to the danger ar...

While hazardous chemicals pollutions occurring, monitoring and forecasting are very important for emergency planning and evacuation. To implement the object, huge amounts of wireless sensors may be distributed in large area. The data gathered by the sensors are sent back to data centers for preprocessing and analysis, which need massive computing utility. Therefore a high effective computing pa...

background and purpose: it is extremely important to recognize the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of this type of waste before any planning on them due to the lack of the prepared program in the field of household hazardous waste (hhw) management in the country. this research has been done in babol, iran, in order to achieve this important goal. materials and methods: the cross-se...

Most large fire departments that participated in this study expressed confi­ dence in their ability to respond to typical hazardous materials (hazmat) events, such as hazardous cargo spills from trucks involved in highway accidents. In contrast, these same departments were greatly concerned about their ability to respond to large or multiple acts of terrorism. For instance, terrorism response c...

Hazardous materials are defined to be the substances that can have harmful effects for human, environment and property. These risks exist due to the nature, the hazardous properties or the state of the above materials. Industrial needs as well as several human activities depend on the daily transportation of dangerous goods. The percentage of road accidents in which hazardous materials are invo...

BACKGROUND It is important to screen for alcohol consumption and drinking customs in a standardized manner. The aim of this study was 1) to investigate whether the AUDIT score is useful for predicting hazardous drinking using optimal cutoff scores and 2) to use multivariate analysis to evaluate whether the AUDIT score was more useful than pre-existing laboratory tests for predicting hazardous d...
