Impacts of Hazards

On the other hand, Aboul-Kassim [1] assessed the environmental impact of hazardous waste materials in landfills by (1) characterizing the different organic compound fractions present in such wastes and their leachates, (2) determining the toxic effect of each fraction and individual organic compounds, and (3) studying the chemodynamics (i.e., fate and transport) of such leachates by using a battery of laboratory experiments (such as sorption/desorption, photolysis, volatilization, biodegradation). 

PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) A family of chemicals composed of biphenyl molecules that have been chlorinated to varying degrees, performance assessment A type of risk assessment in which the potential long-term impacts of hazardous waste disposal on human health and the environment are evaluated for the purpose of determining whether disposal of specific wastes at specific sites should be acceptable, persistence The length of time that a contaminant persists in the environment.

This chapter presents a discussion on issues related to the occurrence and fate of hazardous organic chemicals in biosohds recycled as soil amendments. Sections on biosohds production, treatment and disposal are followed by a review of common hazardous organics present in munidpal biosohds, and their fate when the sludge is apphed as a soil amendment. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of the environmental impacts of hazardous organics in biosolids. A thorough reference hst of material relevant to the topic of discussion is included at the end of this chapter.

H M is committed to continuously eliminate the use of all hazardous chemicals and hence achieve zero discharge in all production procedures associated with the making and using of H M products, at the latest by 2020. Since the early 1990s H M has, based on the Precautionary Principle, taken numerous actions to reduce the use and impact of hazardous chemicals.
