The quantity and concentration emitted is small, however due to the potential hazard of this very toxic substance means are needed to estimate steady-state concentrations on surfaces. A fate and transport model was developed to quantify the mechanisms known to dissipate TCDD from surfaces. These mechanisms include resuspension by wind, run-off by water, evaporation into air, photochemical reaction and bioturbation. A transient model was formulated, but the use of constant rates (yearly average) yields a simple algorithm for the TCDD concentration in the growing dust layer. The analytical solution reveals that the TCDD concentration in the dust layer is independent of time and that neither the wind driven particle resuspension rate nor the water run-off rate is needed to yield numerical results.

Studies conducted over the last decade have shown that the permeability of compacted clay liners is increased by short-term exposure to concentrated organic liquids but not to dilute aqueous leachates.

A study of long-term exposure to aqueous leachate from a hazardous waste landfill was conducted to investigate whether the permeability of a compacted clay liner would be increased. Relatively undisturbed samples of compacted clay liners were tested in double-ring permeameters to determine their permeability to both water (0.005N CaSO4) and leachate. One sample was treated with more than four pore volumes of aqueous leachate. No substantial increase in permeability was found to have occurred after two years of leachate application.","PeriodicalId":386820,"journal":{"name":"Hazardous waste and hazardous materials","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121406029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flowrates entering the counterflow are varied so as to measure the critical strain rate at extinction. Increasing amounts of methyl chloride, as expected, are determined to lower the value of the critical strain rate at extinction. The experiments are conducted at conditions corresponding to several fixed values of the stoichiometric mixture fractions and compared with a previously developed analysis in order to determine forced global kinetic parameters characterizing these cases. The kinetic parameters are found to be useful engineering quantities that enumerate an incinerability ranking. It is determined from the experimental results that small amounts of added methyl chloride have a significant inhibitory effect on methane-air flames, but that larger addition of methyl chloride does not yield a proportional inhibitory effect.","PeriodicalId":386820,"journal":{"name":"Hazardous waste and hazardous materials","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114684999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on relative complexing ability, soluble Fe(III) should inhibit Pb recovery using chelating agents, particularly under acidic conditions. Despite a large pool of available Fe (6.7% of soil by weight) and a marked increase in soluble Fe(III) with decreasing pH, Pb solubilization was nearly pH invariant. Since only 12% of FeT compared to 86% of PbT was solubilized by 4 × 10−2 M EDTA at pH 6, Pb and Fe apparently exist in differentially reactive forms within the soil. A nine-step chemical fractionation procedure confirmed that 80% of the soil Pb was present in non-detrital (soluble, weakly sorbed) forms in contrast to 94% of Fe existing in detrital (oxide occluded, residual) fractions.

This study is part of an overall investigation to estimate the long-term attenuation capacity of a marshland system which is located in the vicinity of a landfill located near Pembroke, Ontario. The results of this investigation suggest that significant retardation of two heavy metals (lead and zinc) as well as synthetic organic such as pentachlorophenol (PCP) should be foreseen. It has also been demonstrated that heavy metals can be attenuated by the soil matrix. The findings from this study suggest that the low level of heavy metals and organic contaminants as measured in the subject landfill leachate solution are not expected to pose a threat to the natural environment.","PeriodicalId":386820,"journal":{"name":"Hazardous waste and hazardous materials","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126537691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because bioconcentration factors for PCBs in fish and shellfish are extremely high (4 × 104 and 3 × 104, respectively), concern is that human exposures to PCBs incinerated at sea could be significantly higher than exposures to PCBs incinerated on land. This paper reports the results of a comparative assessment that focused on the potential differences in human exposure from routine on-land versus at-sea incineration. Identical 135 × 106 BTU/h liquid injection incinerators (M/T Vulcanus design) were assumed for this evaluation. A PCB waste stream consisting of 18.5% Aroclor 1242 was assumed. Minimum, expected, and maximum individual exposures for on-land incineration and the maximum individual exposures for at-sea incineration were estimated.
