Management of contaminations

The fact that natural sources of the strictly anaerobic beer spoilers are largely unknown complicates the prevention of contaminations. Potential primary sources include plant 

As counteractions, proper mechanical cleaning followed by disinfection and replacement of wom-out parts and surfaces should be promptly undertaken to eliminate

Many policies and practices have been adopted by European countries for the management of contaminated sites. Information about the various national polices, the technical approaches for risk assessment, and the progress of rehabilitation activities in Europe has been compiled in the framework of two European networks—CARACS (Concerted Action for Risk Assessment for Contaminated Sites) and CLARINET (Contaminated Land Rehabilitation Network for Environmental Technologies)—which were funded by the European Commission. A detailed description of European national policies can be found in relevant publications2 3 and in the CLARINET website (http //www.clarinet.at). 

Abstract Many hazardous substances of today had been looked at as valuable chemicals some decades ago. At present, management especially in the case of scarce, non-renewable resources is of growing importance. The experiences collected with the management of contaminants might be helpful also for valuable resources. This is demonstrated using two well-documented examples, Cd and PCBs. Pt serves as a counterexample to prove if the DPSIR method can be applied to contaminants and resources without fundamental changes. Some of the countermeasures introduced to control environmental contaminants may also be applied to save non-renewable resources. 

At the member state level, some countries, such as the Netherlands, a pioneer in the protection of soil, have their own national policies and regulations for the management of contaminated soils that were adopted before the Soil Framework Directive [132], Protection guidelines vary from country to country, and specific legislation for soil contamination only exists for some member states, including the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, France, Belgium, Germany, the UK, Denmark, Spain and Finland [128],...

This simple method of UV spectra exploitation (mono wavelength correlation) has been used and leads to the definition of a PAH index suitable for a rapid diagnosis of PAH-contaminated soils. Moreover, the absorbance value ratio of the two main characteristic peaks gives information about the PAH distribution in terms of light and heavy PAHs. These tools appear to be relevant with regard to the management of contaminated soils.

Management of Contamination. Resuspension of materials into the atmosphere would be the most serious hazard and extensive monitoring would be required. Wetting down the area with airborne water tankers might be required. If the levels of activity allow cleanup operations to proceed, soil may have to be removed and buried in sealed containers. Individual countries establish the levels to which decontamination is carried out for peacetime use.

Abstract. Natural attenuation (the natural breakdown of chemicals in the environment) has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for the clean-up of many contaminated sites. This report reviews several free software tools that have been developed to assist in the site-specific determination of whether natural attenuation will be effective for the management of contaminated sites.
