Major hazards storage limits

More inclusive is Table 3.3.1 -3 which is appropriate at depth into the analysis. The major headings in this table address major hazardous subject areas,. iccideni mitigation, protection and repair. I or example, under the first major heading, "Storage of Raw Materials, Products, Intermediates," listed are confinement measures, release nicclumi.sms (valves), procedures for safe operation and limitations that must be observed for safety. 

Loss of containment due to mechanical failure or misoperation is a major cause of chemical process accidents. The design or storage systems should be based on minimizing the hkelihood of loss of containment, with the accompanying release of hazardous materials, and on limiting the amount or the release. An effective emergency response program that can reduce the impacts of a release should be available. 

The committee s study of site-specific secondary waste practices and requirements focused on the six major waste streams produced by the chemical agent disposal operations. Of the six, brine and brine salts are treated and disposed of off-site during operations at permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. At the Umatilla site, brine solutions are thermally treated to produce a solid salt, which is then shipped off-site to a hazardous waste landfill. However, brine solution may be disposed of off-site if thermal treatment to produce a brine salt impedes the main mission of the agent disposal operation. Brine and brine salts must meet the established waste control limit for off-site disposal—that is, the agent concentration must be below the permit limit for materials containing agent. 

In addition to the coumarins, certain indanediones, ureas, and other organics find application as rodenticides. Phosphine formed by the slow hydrolysis of metal (usually aluminium and zinc) phosphides continued to be employed for rodent control despite the obvious toxicological hazard. In many third world countries, rodents are a major problem, limiting both the harvest and the storage of grains, as well as being an important public health hazard.
