The thermal desorption process could be an excellent first step in soil treatment if used in conjunction with another ex situ treatment. Thermal desorption can remove TCE, most diesel fuel, and perhaps organically bound lead. Chemical Waste Management, Inc., has claimed that thermal desorption can reduce volatile organics to less than 1 mg/L and inorganics to less than 10 mg/L (sometimes even to less than 1 mg/L), and has shown a removal of 96 to 99+% of PCBs from soils containing 120 to 6000 mg/L of initial PCBs.17-91... 

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) was passed. It became effective in 1980, which governs in detail how generators of chemical wastes manage their hazardous wastes. This includes the generation, handling, transportation, and disposal of hazardous wastes.

The primary purpose of this Report is to present NCRP s recommendations on classification of hazardous wastes. The Report is directed at a multidisciplinary audience with different levels of technical understanding in the fields of radiation and chemical risk assessment and radioactive and chemical waste management. Anew hazardous waste classification system is proposed that differs from the existing classification systems for radioactive and hazardous chemical wastes in two fundamental respects. First, hazardous waste would be classified based on considerations of health risks to the public that arise from disposal of waste. Hazardous waste would not be classified based, for example, on its source. Second, the classification system would apply to any hazardous waste, and separate classification systems for radioactive and hazardous chemical wastes would not be retained. In the proposed system, waste would be classified based only on its properties, and the same rules would apply in classifying all hazardous wastes.

While it will not be your responsibility to comply with regulations governing chemical waste, you should have just a brief understanding of the process. If you continue working in the laboratory, chemical waste management can become an issue that impacts you and others. 

Biological waste can also be disinfected with chemical agents such as bleach or phenolic disinfecting agents. The most common agent is bleach since it is inexpensive and will likely result in a product that can be disposed of down the sanitary sewer. Other chemical disinfection may result in chemical waste that needs further handing by chemical waste management.

By comparison with many chemicals, the toxicity of radioactive substances is much better understood. But the subjective fear of radioactivity has to be recognized and responded to. It has, in fact, led to a particular safety philosophy which more and more bears fruit also for the concepts of chemical waste management and disposal.

Chemical Waste Management (Oak Brook, IL) recently bought SCA Chemical Services, Inc. Their incinerator can accept liquid or soil waste (including capacitors). Generally, the chlorine content of total organic waste should be <20%. 

Compliance with biohazard and chemical waste management regulations continues to be one of the most significant issues in any laboratory. Chemical waste, either stock or reagent, should never be poured down laboratory drains. Instead, it should be collected into appropriate and clearly identified ( HAZARDOUS WASTE ) containers prior to removal by waste management services. Chemicals and reaction products should never be mixed. Not only is the practice dangerous but also creates additional costs in terms of dealing with the waste.

This database provides scientific and technical information on the environment. The information is compiled from a set of Royal Society of Chemistry databases. Environmental Chemistry, Health Safety contains information on chemicals deemed to cause actual or potential problems to humans or the environment. The subject coverage is broad and includes such varied topics as animal and microbiological hazards, biological effects of chemicals and radiation, corporate environmental issues, legislation and standards, transportation and storage of chemicals, waste management. Environmental Chemistry, Health Safety can be used to document risk assessment, to assess potential environmental, health, and safety problems, and to study a company s environmental and safety experiences.
