Waste controlled

CONTROLLED WASTE All houscliold, industrial or commercial waste of any quantity or description. 

DUTY OF CARE The concept of the duty of care for waste is set out in Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act (1990) which states that it is the duty of any person who imports, produces, carries, keeps, treats or disposes of controlled waste to keep that waste properly under control. 

SPECIAL WASTE Controlled waste which is subject to special regulations regarding its control and disposal because of its difficult or dangerous characteristics. The UK definition of special waste is similar, but not identical, to the EC s hazardous waste. 

Extra duties are imposed on the producers of Special Waste , i.e. a waste that is on the European Hazardous Waste list reproduced in Table 17.6 and if it has one or more of the hazardous properties listed in Table 17.7 (reproduced from Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Special Waste Regulations, 1996). Also Special Waste is any Controlled Waste which has one of the listed properties. Extra requirements are detailed for the safe transfer and management of such waste. 

Section 34 of EPA 90 imposes a cradle to grave philosophy for waste management. This places a duty of care upon anyone who has control of controlled waste, i.e. importers, producers.

The parathion residue at harvest time resulting from a program of 0.5 to 1 pound of 25% wettable powder applied 45 to 60 days before harvest could be expected to be 0.10 p.p.m. or less. The application of sprays with a concentration in excess of 0.5 to 1 pound (25%) would result in no measurable increase in insect control, waste of materials, and higher parathion spray residues. 

Metal finishers are seeing their profits shrink as waste management costs increase. To control waste disposal costs, metal finishers must focus on developing and implementing a facility-wide waste reduction program. In other words, as discussed in Section 6.4, metal finishers must consciously seek out ways to decrease the volume of waste that they generate. 

At the first Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference, held in August of 1997 at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., American Chemical Society President Paul S. Anderson said green chemistry looks beyond controlling waste at...

The issue of proper management of hazardous wastes is one which suffers from much misinformation and confusion. The present chapter reviewed additives and techniques that can be applied to specific solidification problems and immobilization of specific hazardous constituents (e.g., lead and cadmium), including a list of generic additives that can be used to control wastes pH to reduce, oxidize, and co-precipitate constituents and to accelerate/retard set. 

Any civilization based on TDBT tends to overexploit natural resources, and generate pollution and waste during material processing and product manufacturing. MNT will render that obsolete. MNT processes will be pollution-free, generate fewer wastes and recycle 100% of raw materials [32], controlling waste and pollution. In addition, environmental remediation can proceed by nature and MNT. 

Past waste disposal sites are also important sources of chemicals, Industrial waste is a more important source of chemicals than domestic waste, Controlled waste disposal may also contaminate surface waters and groundwaters,...
