Using the Inhalation Exposure Methodology (IEM) to estimate the offsite exposure to 25 metals and PCB's in the stack emissions, a health risk assessment was performed of the risk of adverse health effects due to exposures to stack emissions assuming a variety of exposure conditions. Exposure guidelines were developed to assess the relative risk of non-carcinogenic effects. The densely populated Newark/New York area population was selected as the population being hypothetically exposed to these stack emissions. Neither the metals nor the organics were found to pose a high risk to offsite populations under normal operating conditions. Offsite concentrations of stack emissions are as much as up to several orders of magnitude below \"acceptable...","PeriodicalId":386820,"journal":{"name":"Hazardous waste and hazardous materials","volume":"39 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":"114161615","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}

When ethylene glycol (EG) is solidified with cement, the EG appears to occupy at least 3 different kinds of sites, characterized by differing extractability. Gross alterations of the morphology of the cement matrix do not become apparent until rather large amounts of EG (EG/cement = 0.1 by weight) have been added to the hydrating cement mixture. At that point the structure is clearly weakened, and the EG is more readily extracted. However, at concentrations below the point at which major structural changes take place, there is evidence from X-ray diffraction that EG is entering the semi-crystalline calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel phase and altering its structure.

Such \"tentatively identified compounds\" (TIC's) are identified by the GC/MS data system by comparison of their mass spectra to the 40,000 spectra in the EPA/NIH mass spectral library. A recent article pointed out that the identification of many TIC's is incorrect for a variety of reasons. One of the authors' recommendations to reviewers of TIC data was to compare the boiling points of the spectral library matches to the boiling points of calibrated compounds with similar GC retention times. Experimental studies have shown boiling points to be strongly correlated to GC retention times for semivolatile (bp > 170°C) GC/MS methods.

The kinetics of the Fenton's oxidation of the three monochlorophenol isomers and five of the six dichlorophenol isomers were examined under batch and semibatch conditions. Concentrations of the organic species, oxidant utilization and caustic demand required to maintain a pH of 3.5 were monitored. The in-situ chloride concentration were monitored in selected tests as well. Ultimate oxidation to CO2, H2O, and HCl was not obtained under the test conditions, but the extent of oxidation to final products can be estimated from the measured parameters. A mechanism is hypothesized to explain the observed behavior of the oxidation processes. Test results show that the monochlorinated phenols oxidize about as rapidly as phenol itself.

The time/temperature conditions of the laboratory testing were established to simulate as closely as possible full-scale incineration conditions so that a direct comparison of results could be made. The laboratory test results indicated that biomass decomposition products, not toxic industrial contaminants, comprised the majority of the emissions. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, acrylonitrile, and acetonitrile were consistently the most environmentally significant products of thermal degradation. Comparison of the results from this study with those obtained in field tests was complicated by an apparent loss of volatile chlorocarbons from the sludge samples received for laboratory testing.
