Due to a large amount of vandalism breaking the smoked cigarette, which is why they are always vandalized, locking system, and opening bottom door the system it was then welded shut to pre- they will always find a way to pop it open, so you vent this from happening.

Due to the space to the exteri- or of the receptacle between the unit and Interviewed user the pole, there is a great leverage point for vandals to grip and pull the unit in different directions to break the supporting braces that hold the receptacle to its mounting pole. Since the welding of the bottoms of the re- ceptacle the amount of thefts have risen as people are now ripping the unit right from the pole instead of breaking into the unit. 10 11 User Interviews: Questions User Interviews: Answers In our research it was important we understood our user group and were able to User 1: User 3 and 4 Answers from User 6 (paraphrased) emphasize the needs and wants of the those interacting with our design.

Canada V6T 1Z4 Re: Cigarette Disposal Investigation and Assessment Dear Bud Fraser: Enclosed is the design report entitled Cigarette Disposal Investigation and Assessment. The intent of this report is to provide an investigation and assessment of cigarette butt disposal options for the University of British Columbia. This report is focused on the research regarding cigarettes and their effects on the environment when they are littered in addition to an investigation of the options for methods of collection and disposal. This report also provides proposals based on the research conducted to highlight multiple collection and disposal options which were then surveyed among the local campus students to be analyzed in conjunction with a triple bottom line assessment to provide UBC Water and Zero Waste viable options to explore.

  • Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program
    Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program Alcohol & Other Drugs All students and employees should know that Rosemont College prohibits unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on its property or as part of any activities. We have designed this document to meet the requirements of the Drug‐Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (CFR 34 Part 86) for drug‐free schools and campuses. The following are summaries of the major health risks of alcohol and other drug use and abuse. Standard of Conduct Rosemont College students and employees are expected to demonstrate respect and regard for the rights and property of all individuals; to take responsibility for and be conscious of the consequences of their actions; and to act to reduce the risks of damage and harm to themselves and others. We expect all members of the Rosemont community to protect one another from harmful behavior, including harmful activity resulting from the use or abuse of alcohol and other drugs, and urge students and employees to take seriously the laws governing the use of alcohol and other drugs. Students and employees are expected to abide by federal, state, and local laws, and are provided no special protection by Rosemont College if they are caught using, possessing, or distributing illegal drugs. Students and employees are expected to be sensitive to the fact that many of their peers cannot or choose not to drink because of personal reasons or legal provisions. College Sanctions Rosemont College prohibits the illegal use and/or distribution of alcohol and drugs. Ordinarily the College seeks expulsion/ termination or suspension for illegal substance distribution or possession of a sufficient quantity to indicate the intent to distribute.

Based on the results from the literature review, an experimental plan was developed to measure the airborne emissions from non-smoldering cigarette butts. The literature review found that: 1) Non-smoldering cigarette butts can contain many of the same chemicals found in mainstream and sidestream smoke, and they are a potential source of these chemicals in both indoor and outdoor environments; 2) A number of studies have investigated the chemicals found in This publication is available free of charge from: cigarette butts and chemicals leached? from cigarette butts into water.
