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.

    sustainability Review Environmental and Economic Sustainability of Swine Wastewater Treatments Using Ammonia Stripping and Anaerobic Digestion: A Short Review Adele Folino 1, Demetrio Antonio Zema 1,* and Paolo S. Calabrò 2 1 Department Agraria, Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria, Località Feo di Vito, I-89122 Reggio Calabria, Italy; [email protected] 2 Department Diceam, Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria, Via Graziella, Località Feo di Vito, I-89124 Reggio Calabria, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 April 2020; Accepted: 16 June 2020; Published: 18 June 2020 Abstract: One of the most promising systems to treat swine wastewater is air stripping. This system simultaneously recovers nitrogen salts, to be used as fertiliser, and reduces the organic pollutant load in the effluents of swine breeding farms. Several reviews have discussed the air stripping as a treatment for many types of industrial wastewater or nitrogen-rich digestate (the liquid effluent derived from the anaerobic digestion plants) for the stripping/recovery of nutrients. However, reviews about the use of air stripping as treatment for raw or anaerobically digested swine wastewater are not available in literature. To fill this gap, this study: (i) Summarises the experiences of air stripping for recovery of ammonium salts from both raw and digested swine wastewater; and (ii) compares air stripping efficiency under different operational conditions. Moreover, combined systems including air stripping (such as struvite crystallisation, chemical precipitation, microwave radiation) have been compared. These comparisons have shown that air stripping of raw and digested swine wastewater fits well the concept of bio-refinery, because this system allows the sustainable management of the piggery effluent by extracting value-added compounds, by-products, and/or energy from wastewater.

    ASSESSMENT OF IODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDERS AND MONITORING THEIR ELIMINATION ANNEX 3 Method for measuring urinary iodine using ammonium persulfate (method A) A3.1 Principle Urine is digested with ammonium persulfate. Iodide is the catalyst in the reduction of ceric ammonium sulfate (yellow) to the cerous form (colourless), and is detected by the rate of colour disappearance (Sand- ell-Kolthoff reaction). A3.2 Equipment Heating block (vented fume hood not necessary), colorimeter, thermom- eter, test tubes (13 x 100 mm), reagent flasks and bottles, pipettes, bal- ance scales. A3.3 Reagents 1.

KIO3 A3.4 Solutions 1.0 M Ammonium persulfate: Dissolve 114.1 g H2N2O8S2 in H2O; make up to 500 ml with H2O. Store away from light. The solution is stable for at least one month. 5 N H2SO4: Slowly add 139 ml concentrated (36 N) H2SO4 to about 700 ml deionized water (careful – this generates heat!). When cool, adjust with deionized water to a final volume of 1 litre. Arsenious acid solution: In a 2000 ml Erlenmeyer flask, place 20 g As2O3 and 50 g NaCl, then slowly add 400 ml 5 N H2SO4.
