CRT Cathode ray tube e-waste Electrical and electronic equipment that has reached the end of its functional life. For the purposes of the scheme, this includes televisions and computers and their peripheral components Hazard score A quantification of comparative hazard (between wastes) expressed on a scale of 1 – 6 (in order of increasing hazard) , developed specifically for this project Hazardous A hazardous waste, as defined in the Australian Government’s National Waste Policy: waste Less waste, more resources (2009), is a substance or object that exhibits hazardous characteristics, is no longer fit for its intended use and requires disposal. According to the Act, hazardous waste means: (a) waste prescribed by the regulations, where the waste has any of the characteristics mentioned in Annex III to the Basel Convention; or (b) wastes covered by paragraph 1(a) of Article 1 of the Basel Convention; or (c) household waste; or (d) residues arising from the incineration of household waste; but does not include wastes covered by paragraph 4 of Article 1 of the Basel Convention.

These tracking systems can be either online, paper-based, or a combination of both these mechanisms. Tracked data Hazardous waste collected under the arrangements of a tracking system Treatment Treatment of waste is the removal, reduction or immobilisation of a hazardous characteristic to enable the waste to be reused, recycled, sent to an Energy from Waste facility or disposed. Waste (For data collation purposes) is materials or products that are unwanted or have been discarded, rejected or abandoned. Waste includes materials or products that are recycled, converted to energy, or disposed. Materials and products that are reused (for their original or another purpose without reprocessing) are not solid waste because they remain in use. Waste arisings Hazardous waste is said to ‘arise’ when it causes demand for processing, storage, treatment or disposal infrastructure. Waste Code Three-digit code typically used by jurisdictions to describe NEPM-listed wastes. These are also referred to as ’NEPM codes’ although it is noted that the actual codes do not appear in the NEPM itself. Waste fate Refers to the destination of the waste within the set of defined end points. It includes reuse, treatment, recycling, energy recovery, and disposal. Waste transfer and storage should not generally considered as a waste fate. The term fate does not infer that the waste material is destroyed or lost. WEEE Waste electrical and electronic equipment Y-code The Basel Convention’s waste coding or classification system which encompasses 47 wastes (Y1 – Y47). Y+8 A term introduced to describe those wastes that are reported in controlled waste tracking in Australia, but do not have a logical conversion in Y code terms, so have been reported to Basel as 8 new codes: ‘Y+8’ 1-8.

L. 92-463 of 8 1972, the National Advisory Committee for Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous 9 Substances (NAC/AEGL Committee) has been established to identify, review and interpret 10 relevant toxicologic and other scientific data and develop AEGLs for high priority, acutely toxic 11 chemicals. 12 13 AEGLs represent threshold exposure limits for the general public and are applicable to 14 emergency exposure periods ranging from 10 minutes to 8 hours. Three levels C AEGL-1, 15 AEGL-2 and AEGL-3 C are developed for each of five exposure periods (10 and 30 minutes, 1 16 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours) and are distinguished by varying degrees of severity of toxic effects. 17 The three AEGLs are defined as follows: 18 19 AEGL-1 is the airborne concentration (expressed as parts per million or milligrams per 20 cubic meter [ppm or mg/m3]) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general 21 population, including susceptible individuals, could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or 22 certain asymptomatic, non-sensory effects.

    Nanoscale View Article Online REVIEW View Journal | View Issue Synthesis of emerging 2D layered magnetic materials Cite this: Nanoscale, 2021, 13, 2157 Mauro Och,a Marie-Blandine Martin,b Bruno Dlubak, b Pierre Seneorb and Cecilia Mattevi *a van der Waals atomically thin magnetic materials have been recently discovered. They have attracted enormous attention as they present unique magnetic properties, holding potential to tailor spin-based device properties and enable next generation data storage and communication devices. To fully under- stand the magnetism in two-dimensions, the synthesis of 2D materials over large areas with precise thick- ness control has to be accomplished. Here, we review the recent advancements in the synthesis of these materials spanning from metal halides, transition metal dichalcogenides, metal phosphosulphides, to ternary metal tellurides. We initially discuss the emerging device concepts based on magnetic van der Waals materials including what has been achieved with graphene. We then review the state of the art of Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. the synthesis of these materials and we discuss the potential routes to achieve the synthesis of wafer- scale atomically thin magnetic materials. We discuss the synthetic achievements in relation to the struc- Received 3rd November 2020, tural characteristics of the materials and we scrutinise the physical properties of the precursors in relation Accepted 8th January 2021 to the synthesis conditions. We highlight the challenges related to the synthesis of 2D magnets and we DOI: 10.1039/d0nr07867k provide a perspective for possible advancement of available synthesis methods to respond to the need for rsc.li/nanoscale scalable production and high materials quality.
