Patrick Engineering Inc. (Patrick) has completed a household hazardous waste (HHW) facility feasibility study for Peoria County, Illinois (County). The objective of the feasibility study is to provide an evaluation of HHW collection and disposal options in order for the County to make informed decisions about its involvement in establishing an HHW facility in Peoria County. HHW presents a potential safety and environmental hazard to the citizens of Peoria County through improper storage and disposal. A comparison of records of previous HHW collection events in Peoria County and other Illinois communities and data from permanent collection facilities in Illinois and other states show that Peoria County generates HHW in types and quantities similar to state and national averages. Depending on participation rates from the three-county area, including Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford Counties, a permanent facility could collect between 150,000 and 820,000 pounds of HHW annually. The household exemption under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) would allow operating a permanent facility without permitting it as a hazardous waste facility as long as only residential waste is accepted. The Illinois siting process for pollution control facilities is also exempted for HHW provided the host community waives the siting approval process. However, the facility should maintain insurance for any future clean-up and remediation liability costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund). The facility will also require State permitting as a “solid waste treatment and/or storage facility”. If the facility were to accept hazardous wastes from small business generators, both the RCRA permit and State siting process would be required. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) currently provides State support for regional HHW collection facilities through agreements in which IEPA assumes “generator status” under CERCLA and all costs and responsibilities for transportation and disposal of the collected HHW. The IEPA disposal contractor will also provide training for facility staff. It is uncertain, however, whether future State budgets will allow the expansion of this program to additional facilities. Patrick compared the advantages and disadvantages of a permanent

  • How to Handle Cryogenic Liquids
    Photographic Processing Hazards, by Michael McCann, Ph.D., CIH • Black-and-White Photographic Processing o Mixing Photochemicals o Developing Baths o Stop Baths and Fixers o Intensifiers and Reducers o Toners o Other Hazards • Color Processing o Developing Baths o Bleaching, Fixing, and Other Steps Black-and-White Photographic Processing A wide variety of chemicals are used in black and white photographic processing. Film developing is usually done in closed canisters. Print processing uses tray processing, with successive developing baths, stop baths, fixing baths, and rinse steps. Other treatments include use of hardeners, intensifiers, reducers, toners, and hypo eliminators. Mixing Photochemicals Photochemicals can be bought in liquid form, which only need diluting, or powder form, which need dissolving and diluting. Hazards 1. Developer solutions and powders are often highly alkaline, and glacial acetic acid, used in making the stop bath, is also corrosive by skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. 2. Developer powders are highly toxic by inhalation, and moderately toxic by skin contact, due to the alkali and developers themselves (see Developing Baths below). Precautions 1. Use liquid chemistry whenever possible, rather than mixing developing powders. Pregnant women, in particular, should not be exposed to powdered developer. 2. When mixing powdered developers, use a glove box (a cardboard box with glass or plexiglas top, and two holes in the sides for hands and arms), local exhaust ventilation, or wear a NIOSH-approved toxic dust respirator. 3. Wear gloves, goggles and protective apron when mixing concentrated photochemicals. Always add any acid to water, never the reverse. 4. In case of skin contact, rinse with lots of water.

Doctoral Dissertations. 1058. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1058 Biophysical Characterization of Protein Interactions by ITC and NMR Xiaochen Lin, PhD University of Connecticut, 2016 Proteins are crucial in virtually all cell activities. The vast majority of proteins interact with other molecules to function properly. The investigation of biomolecular interactions calls for structural and thermodynamic information acquired by a variety of experimental techniques and analytical methods. This dissertation is mainly concentrated on two frequently used and powerful tools, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to investigate protein interactions. p52 Shc, a well-studied cellular adaptor protein, is a positive regulator in the mitogen-activated protein kinases pathway. We have confirmed that Shc interacts with both, integrin tyrosine(s)-phosphorylated cytoplasmic tails and phosphotidylinositol lipids, through the same Phospho-Tyrosine Binding (PTB) domain. The binding to phosphorylated peptides is enthalpy driven and tighter, while Shc interactions with PtdIns are entropy driven and much weaker. Shc interactions with PtdIns and β3-derived peptides are only weakly competitive with partially overlapping bindings sites. We also observed thermodynamic indications for potential intramolecular interactions within Shc, which could be perturbed by the binding to the phosphorylated receptor. BTN3A1, an immunoglobulin superfamily member, was found recently to be critical in Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation.

Working safely can involve changes in how you select your art materials, how you handle and dispose of them. Jay DeFeo, died at the age of sixty due, in large part, to her exposure to lead paints. Many artists of her day did not know what was in the materials they were using.

  • Sd0000029 Evaluation of Chromfte Ore and The
    SD0000029 EVALUATION OF CHROMFTE ORE AND THE OPTIMUM METHODS FOR INDUSTRIAL EXTRACTION OF CHROMIUM A TI1HSIS SUBMITTED BY Bakheit Mustafa Mohamed Salih IN CANDIDATURE FOR TIU:DI:GRFJ:OI MASTER OF SC1HNCT DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY FACULTY OF SCIENCE (P.O.BOX 321) OCTOBER 1999 UNIVERSITY OF KHARTOUM 31/ 28 ABSTRACT Samples of chromite ore, collected from Gam and Cheikay mining area (Ingessana Hills) in east Sudan, were analysed to assess the chromium content. Methods for extraction and analysis of chromium metal were developed and established. Analysis were carried out using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) to estimate the contents of chromium, iron, calcium, and magnesium. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used to evaluate the levels of chromium, iron, and calcium in the ore. Volumetric analysis was performed to assess chromium and iron, whilst gravimetric analysis was employed to measure the amounts of calcium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon present in the ore. The data was chemically and statistically analyzed to compare the results obtained by the given analytical methods. The results are in good agreement except iron oxide, which displayed a significantly different value when measured by x-ray fluorescence. The data obtained exhibited similarity in almost all cases, when compared with local and global researches, reports, and literature. The study has revealed the average contents of Cr2O3, FeO, CaO, MgO, A12O3, and SiO2 as 40.66. 11.96, 11.94. 0.36. 16.94, 11.45% respectively. MnO and NiO were detected in trace amounts, the corresponding levels in the ore being 72 and 27 ppm. The average chromium content in extracted potassium dichromate measured by using AAS, XRF, and volumetric methods was found to be 31.7%.
