HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE BEING EXPOSED The New Jersey Right to Know Act requires most employers to label chemicals in the workplace and requires public employers to provide their employees with information and training concerning chemical hazards and controls. The federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 1910.1200, requires private employers to provide similar training and information to their employees. * Exposure to hazardous substances should be routinely evaluated. This may include collecting personal and area air samples. You can obtain copies of sampling results from your employer.

  • Urea: a Low Cost Nitrogen Fertilizer with Special Management Requirements 1
    Urea: A Low Cost Nitrogen Fertilizer with Special Management Requirements 1 may loose from 50% to 90% of its N as ammonia if not Urea: A Low Cost protected within a few hours of application. Nitrogen Fertilizer with Conserving Urea-N Special Management If the urea-to-NH4 reaction takes place in the soil the Requirements nitrogen will be captured as exchangeable ammonium on the soil exchange complex and little if any loss of ammonia gas to the air will occur. Therefore, the key to conserving urea fertilizer nitrogen is to put the urea into the soil and not merely on the soil. Soil incorporation of urea can be done several ways. Since urea is completely water soluble, when applied to the soil surface it can be moved down with irrigation water or rainfall, if one or the other occurs immediately after fertilization. Also, urea can be broadcast and plowed down immediately. And urea can be injected or banded into the soil. Urea (46-0-0) usually has the lowest cost per pound Soil banding or injection is usually not feasible with an of nitrogen compared to other single-element nitrogen established crop such as pasture. Under these conditions fertilizers. However, urea undergoes unique chemical the nitrogen fertilizer of choice would be either ammonium transformations when field applied and severe losses in nitrate, ammonium sulfate, or one of the ammoniated efficiency may result if special management practices are phosphates (for example 11-52-0). not followed. The purpose of this fact sheet is to briefly describe urea transformations and to suggest how urea-N Urea is applied alone or in combination with other may be conserved with proper management in the field.

  • Disposal of Solid Chemicals in the Normal Trash
    Disposal of Solid Chemicals in the Normal Trash Many solid chemicals can be safety discarded into the normal trash, provided they are in containers that are not broken or cracked and have tightly fitting caps. These chemicals are considered acceptable for ordinary disposal because they display none of the properties of hazardous waste, are of low acute toxicity, and have not been identified as having any chronic toxic effects as summarized in the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) “Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances”. Examples of chemicals acceptable for disposal as regular trash are listed below. To dispose of these chemicals, place the containers in a box lined with a plastic bag, tape the top of the box shut, write “Normal Trash” on the box and then place the box next to the lab trash container. Only solid forms of these chemicals can be disposed in this manner. Any questions about these chemicals or other chemicals that may be disposed of in the normal trash should be directed to the Hazardous Materials Technician (610) 330-5225. Chemicals Generally Acceptable for Disposal as Regular Trash Acacia powder, gum Detergent (most) Methyl salicylate Sodium carbonate arabic Cation exchange resins Methylene blue Sodium chloride Acid, Ascorbic Chromatographic Methyl stearate Sodium citrate Acid, Benzoic absorbents Nutrient agar Sodium dodecyl sulfate Acid, Boric Crystal violet Octacosane (SDS) Acid, Casamind Dextrin Parafin Sodium formate Acid, Citric Dextrose Pepsin Sodium iodide Acid, Lactic Diatomaceous

Wangl, K, J. Reddy, and L. C. Munn' Water Resources Center, University of Wyoming,Laramie, WY 82071 pBSTRACT: A variety of extractants has been used to assess the availability of molybdenum (Mo) in soils. Most of the extractants have been studied from a deficiency aspect rather than for soils with Mo toxicity, and none of them have been used to extract available Mo from mine spoils. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of different chemical extractants for assessing the availability of Mo in mine spoils and soils. One mine spoil and three soils were treated with sodium molybdate and then subjected to wetting and drying cycles for two months. These spoiVsoils were extracted with ammonium bicarbonate DTPA (AB-DTPA), ammonium carbonate, and ammonium oxalate solution for available Mo. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyroncristatum) and alfalfa (Medicagosativa) were grown in the spoil/soils in a greenhouse to determine plant uptake of Mo. Additionally, four mine spoils and six soils were extracted and analyzed for available Mo as mentioned above.

Founded in 1981 as a national, grassroots, membership organization that represents community-based organizations and a range of people seeking to bridge the interests of consumers, farmers and farmworkers, Beyond Pesticides advances improved protections from pesticides and alternative pest management strategies that reduce or eliminate a reliance on pesticides. Our membership and network span the 50 states and the world. Kaolin Reference: 205.605(a) Kaolin is a fine clay, consisting primarily of hydrous aluminum silicate. Because of the small particle size, it has a high surface-to-volume ratio, making it a highly absorptive material. Although the TAP review identifies it as an anticaking agent and a processing aid that is not present in the final product, there is no annotation to limit its use. Kaolin is also produced in nano-sized particles.1 Kaolin should be annotated to specify allowed uses and prohibit the use of nano-kaolin.
