P-Listed Chemicals & Hazardous Wastes P-Listed Chemicals & Hazardous Wastes The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified a number of chemicals on the “P-List” that present an especially acute hazard when disposed of as hazardous waste. Because they are extremely dangerous, there are more stringent requirements when disposing of P-Listed hazardous waste. ►►► When collecting P-Listed hazardous waste (listed below) in the lab, do not ever accumulate more than 1 quart (~1 L) at any given time. ►►► When you have empty containers that previously held a P-Listed chemical, these must also be disposed of as hazardous waste. Bring these empty containers to the Hazardous Waste Room. Do not wash or re-use these containers. [Review the UNO Regulated Waste Guidelines for information on proper hazardous waste disposal.] ►►► Disposable materials that become contaminated with p-listed chemicals (ex. Gloves, weighing boats, paper towels, etc.) must also be disposed of as hazardous waste. Non-disposable materials must be triple-rinsed to remove contamination. The rinsate must be collected as hazardous waste. Materials contaminated with P-Listed chemicals may not be washed or re-used until they have been triple-rinsed. [Review the UNO Regulated Waste Guidelines for information on proper hazardous waste disposal.] Most Common P-Listed Chemicals • Label the waste as hazardous waste in accordance Chemical Name CAS # with the UNO Regulated Waste Guidelines. Just like Acrolein 107-02-8 all other hazardous wastes, P-listed wastes must be Allyl Alcohol 107-18-6 labeled with the completed UNO Hazardous Waste Arsenic Compounds Varies Inorganic Cyanide Varies Label and the applicable GHS Pictograms. Salts Carbon Disulfide 75-15-0 • Use disposable materials whenever possible. Triple- Cyanogen & 460-19-5, 506-77-4 rinsing containers that held P-Listed chemicals creates Cyanogen Chloride 2,4-Dinitrophenol 51-28-5 a much larger volume of hazardous waste for Epinephrine 51-43-4 disposal, which creates a greater risk and is more Nitrous & Nitric 10102-44-0, 10102- expensive. Consider using disposable containers to Oxides 43-9 prevent generating excess waste.

  • Methyl Mercaptan
    Methyl Mercaptan Methyl Mercaptan (CH3SH) CAS 74-93-1; UN 1064 Synonyms include methanethiol, mercaptomethane, thiomethanol, methyl sulfhydrate, and thiomethyl alcohol. • Persons exposed only to methyl mercaptan pose little risk of secondary contamination to personnel outside the Hot Zone. • Methyl mercaptan is a colorless flammable gas with unpleasant odor described as rotten cabbage. It is easily ignited. When heated to decomposition, it emits highly toxic fumes and flammable vapors. Vapors from liquified methyl mercaptan gas are heavier than air and may collect in low-lying areas. Olfactory fatigue may prevent adequate warning of hazardous concentrations. • Methyl mercaptan is highly irritant when it contacts moist tissues such as the eyes, skin, and upper respiratory tract. It can also induce headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, coma, and death. Ingestion of methyl mercaptan is unlikely since it is a gas at ambient temperatures. Description At room temperature (above 43 °F), methyl mercaptan is a colorless gas with an unpleasant odor described as rotten cabbage. It is slightly soluble in water. It is generally shipped as a liquified compressed gas. When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes, such as sulfur dioxide, and flammable vapors. Methyl mercaptan should be stored in cool, well ventilated places. The main toxic effect of exposure to methyl mercaptan is irritation of the respiratory airway, skin, and eyes. Routes of Exposure Inhalation Inhalation is the major route of exposure to methyl mercaptan. An odor threshold of 0.002 ppm has been reported for methyl mercaptan, but olfactory fatigue may occur and thus, it may not provide adequate warning of hazardous concentrations.

  • Finite Element Modelling of Bandgap Engineered Graphene FET with the Application in Sensing Methanethiol Biomarker
    sensors Article Finite Element Modelling of Bandgap Engineered Graphene FET with the Application in Sensing Methanethiol Biomarker Paramjot Singh , Parsoua Abedini Sohi and Mojtaba Kahrizi * Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Concordia University, Montreal, QC H3G1M8, Canada; [email protected] (P.S.); [email protected] (P.A.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-51-48-482-424 (ext. 3089) Abstract: In this work, we have designed and simulated a graphene field effect transistor (GFET) with the purpose of developing a sensitive biosensor for methanethiol, a biomarker for bacterial infections. The surface of a graphene layer is functionalized by manipulation of its surface structure and is used as the channel of the GFET. Two methods, doping the crystal structure of graphene and decorating the surface by transition metals (TMs), are utilized to change the electrical properties of the graphene layers to make them suitable as a channel of the GFET. The techniques also change the surface chemistry of the graphene, enhancing its adsorption characteristics and making binding between graphene and biomarker possible. All the physical parameters are calculated for various variants of graphene in the absence and presence of the biomarker using counterpoise energy-corrected density functional theory (DFT). The device was modelled using COMSOL Multiphysics. Our studies show that the sensitivity of the device is affected by structural parameters of the device, the electrical properties of the graphene, and with adsorption of the biomarker. It was found that the devices made of graphene layers decorated with TM show higher sensitivities toward detecting the biomarker compared with those made by doped graphene layers.

F. y Centro de Inves- tigación y Reproducción Animal, Universidad Au- tónoma de Tlaxcala. ABSTRACT In order to determine the potential cytogenetic effects of Heptachlor, Malathion and Methyl Parathion, meristems of broad bean root tips were treated with se- vera1 concentrations o£ these insecticides for different periods of treatment and recovery. Heptachlor and Malathion induced chromosomal alterations in anaphase cells as fragments and bridges, chromosomes with inactivated centromeres and isochroinosomes, and as micronuclei in interphase cells. Multipolar anaphases also appeared when the mitotic spindle was damaged. Heptachlor induced pycnosis but Malathion did not. Chromosomal aberrations caused by Methyl Parathion were observed in cells only during metaphase, since a strong c-mitotic effect was induced mostly in the form of fragments. Longer recovery periods (42 and 44 h) revealed tetraploid and pycnotic cells. Only in the case of Malation was there an increase in chromosome altera- tions with higher concentrations. However, no such dose response relationship was observed for micronuclei frequency. RESUMEN Con el fin de establecer el daño genético que ocasionan el Heptacloro, el Mala- tión y el Metil Paratión, se realizaron tratamientos sobre las células meristemá- ticas de la raíz de haba con diversas concentraciones de estos insecticidas y dife- rentes tiempos de tratamiento y recuperación.

  • Efficacy of 3 In-Burrow Treatments to Control Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs
    EFFICACY OF 3 JN-BURROW TREATMENTS TO CONTROL BLACK-TAJLED PRAIRIE DOGS CHARLES D. LEE, Department of Animal Science, Kansas State University Research and Extension, Manhattan, KS, USA JEFF LEFLORE , East Cheyenne County Pest Control, Cheyenne Wells , CO, USA Abstract: Management of prairie dog ( Cynomys ludovicianus) movement by colony expansion or dispersal may involve the use of toxicants to reduce local populations. Hazards associated with the use of toxicants cause concern for non-target species. Applying the bait in-burrow should reduce the primary exposure of the toxicants to non-target wildlife. Some literature suggests prairie dogs will not consume bait when applied in the burrow. In this trial we compared efficacy of Rozol ® (chlorophacinone), Kaput-D Prairie Dog Bait ® (diphacinone), 2% zinc phosphide oats applied in-burrow and 2% zinc phosphide oats applied on the surface. Results are reported as change in prairie dog activity.

PhD-thesis Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands – with references – with summaries in English and Dutch ISBN: 978-90-8504-787-2 Abstract Due to increasingly stringent environmental legislation car fuels have to be desulfurized to levels below 10 ppm in order to minimize negative effects on the environment as sulfur-containing emissions contribute to acid deposition (‘acid rain’) and to reduce the amount of particulates formed during the burning of the fuel. Moreover, low sulfur specifications are also needed to lengthen the lifetime of car exhaust catalysts.

  • Pesticide Residue Monitoring in Sediment and Surface Water Within the South Florida Water Management District Volume 2
    Technical Publication 91-01 Pesticide Residue Monitoring in Sediment and Surface Water Within the South Florida Water Management District Volume 2 by Richard J. Pfeuffer January 1991 This publication was produced at an annual cost of $243.75 or $.49 per copy to inform the public. 500 191 Produced on recycled paper. Water Quality Division Research and Evaluation Department South Florida Water Management District West Palm Beach, Florida A IBSTRAC'I' Pesticide monitoring data are collected under the requirements of several permits and agreements as an indicator of water quality. The monitoring provides data to determine shifts or adverse trends in the quality of water being delivered to Lake Okeechobee, Everglades National Park, and the Water Conservation Areas. In addition, pesticide residue data are collected throughout the South Florida Water Management District at locations selected to determine water quality conditions at the major water control points. Special investigations are performed on selected pesticides as required and follow-up sampling is conducted based on the pesticides detected. Data were collected from 13 stations in 1984. By 1988, the network was expanded to 29 stations. Currently, water and sediment samples are collected quarterly and analyzed for 67 pesticides, herbicides and degradation products. Out of a total of 197 surface water samples, 13 percent had detectable residues, while 25 percent of the 208 sediment samples had detectable residues. The compounds detected in the water samples included atrazine and zinc phosphide while a variety of compounds, including DDT, have been detected in the sediment. None of the residues detected are considered to have adverse health or environmental effects.

    The Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response Office (HEER Office) is part of the Hawai‘i Department of Health (HDOH) Environmental Health Administration, whose mission is to protect human health and the environment. The HEER Office provides leadership, support, and partnership in preventing, planning for, responding to, and enforcing environmental laws relating to releases or threats of releases of hazardous substances. Past Use of Chlordane, Dieldrin, and other Organochlorine Pesticides for Termite Control in Hawai‘i: Safe Management Practices around Treated Foundations or during Building Demolition This fact sheet provides building owners, demolition and construction contractors, developers, realtors, and others with an overview of the potential environmental concerns associated with the past use of organochlorine termiticides (pesticides used to control termites) in Hawai‘i. In addition, this fact sheet discusses methods for reducing exposure to organochlorine termiticides during building demolition or around the foundations of treated buildings and identifies resources for further information. What are organochlorine termiticides? Organochlorine termiticides are a group of pesticides that were used for termite control in and around wooden buildings and homes from the mid-1940s to the late 1980s. These organochlorine pesticides included chlordane, aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). They were used primarily by pest control operators in Hawaii’s urban areas, but also by homeowners, the military, the state, and counties to protect buildings against termite damage. In the 1970s and 1980s, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned all uses of these organochlorine pesticides except for heptachlor, which can be used today only for control of fire ants in underground power transformers.
