Characterization of Radioactive Hazardous Waste

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2000
The characterization of radioactive hazardous waste, also known as transuranic "mixed waste" has to be completed before it can be classified for proper treatment (incinerator, mechanical compaction or thermal treatment), packing, and transport. The characterization of the TRU mixed waste is not only complex process but rather an expensive undertaking ...

Characterizing soils for hazardous waste site assessments

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1994
This paper provides a review and justification of the minimum data needed to characterize soils for hazardous waste site assessments and to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Scientists and managers within the regulatory agency and the liable party need to know what are the important soil ...

Intelligent autonomy for remote characterization of hazardous environments

Proceedings of the 2003 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control ISIC-03, 2003
Remote characterization of high radiation environments is a pressing application area where robots have the potential to provide benefits in terms of time, cost, safety and quality of data. However, the ability to design robots that can be used effectively has proven to be no easy task.

Toxicity data relevant for hazard characterization

Toxicology Letters, 2004
The present paper summarizes toxicity data relevant for hazard characterization for the trichothecene mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), T-2 and HT-2 from recent opinions prepared by the European Commission Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).

Integration of Probabilistic Exposure Assessment and Probabilistic Hazard Characterization

Risk Analysis, 2007
A method is proposed for integrated probabilistic risk assessment where exposure assessment and hazard characterization are both included in a probabilistic way. The aim is to specify the probability that a random individual from a defined (sub)population will have an exposure high enough to cause a particular health effect of a predefined magnitude ...

Characterizations of the Proportional (Reversed) Hazard Model

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2004
In this article, we provide two simple characterizations of the proportional (reversed) hazard class of distributions based on some conditional expectation and conditional variance. Since exponential, Weibull, generalized exponential, Rayleigh, Burr type X, and exponentiated Weibull belong to the proportional (reversed) hazard class of distributions ...

Characterization of hazardous waste incineration residuals

Nuclear and Chemical Waste Management, 1987
Abstract The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (U.S. EPAOSWER) is considering establishing a criterion for disposal of waste or residue onto the land. This criterion is based on the achievement of residue quality equivalent to that from effective incineration.

Biocides: Characterization of the Allergenic Hazard of Methylisothiazolinone

Journal of Toxicology: Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 2003
Biocides used in many every day products often are able to act as haptens and so may cause allergic reactions in the skin. In addition, where exposure of the respiratory tract may occur, they should also be evaluated for their ability to cause respiratory allergy.

Characterization of health and safety hazards of deconstruction activities

American Journal of Industrial Medicine
AbstractBackgroundManual deconstruction—an alternative to mechanical demolition—is a crucial technique in the building industry that facilitates a circular economy for the built environment and achieves sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the current body of literature lacks a thorough grasp of the OHS (occupational health and safety ...
