REFUSE CONTAINER

For the past 20 years, 1,4-dichlorobenzene has been used principally (35-55% of all uses) as a space deodorant for toilets and refuse containers, and as a fumigant for control of moths, molds, and mildews. A significant amount of 1,4-dichlorobenzene is exported (34%), with lesser amounts used in the production of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin (approximately 27% of its total use), and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals such as 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (approximately 10%). Minor uses of 1,4-dichlorobenzene also include its use in the control of certain tree-boring insects and ants, and in the control of blue mold in tobacco seed beds (Chemical Marketing Reporter 1990 HSDB 1998). [Pg.175]

All radioactive material in storage and refuse containers should be clearly marked, preferably indicating the type of nuclide in use. [Pg.599]

Since Japanese refuse contains a higher proportion of household garbage, its moisture content is higher than that of its U.S. counterpart. Additionally, its plastic content has been increasing in recent years. A comparison of Japanese and U.S, refuse is given in Table I. [Pg.551]

Water flows downhill, not uphill. Ice melts on a warm day water does not freeze on a warm day. We eat an apple, and we excrete CO2 and H2O. If we ingest CO2 and H2O, we do not expect to excrete an apple. We would be amazed if a ten-year-old ostrich gradually became younger and, ten years later, had become yolk and albumen encased in a shell. If we throw a handful of confetti out of a window, we do not expect all of the confetti to accumulate in the refuse container at the end of the street. [Pg.300]

To ensure that trash cans are placed at strategic positions and that they are returned to these positions, their positions should be demarcated. Refuse containers and dumpsters, supplied by contractors, should also stand in a demarcated area to ensure they are returned to that area. [Pg.138]

Service testing to simulate ash/salt deposit corrosion is of importance to a number of industries. The fossil-fired power generation industry must deal with what is called "fuel ash corrosion fixrm sulfur- and vanadium-containing fuels and alkali, chlorine, and sulfur in coal. The gas turbine industry must deal with "hot corrosion" problems arising fixjm sulfur in fuel and sodium salts from ingested air. Waste incineration environments can become even more complex with refuse containing sulfur, chlorine, phosphorus, and numerous metallic elements. [Pg.198]

Minimising the availability of combustible materials to the arsonist, managing items such as skips and other refuse containers and securing flammable chemicals that could be used as accelerants are all part of the arson risk reduction measures that a company could adopt to prevent this risk of arson and subsequent losses that would be likely to occur following an attack. [Pg.147]

The safe handling of HF requires that monitors be posted at critical locations and that all workers wear the correct level of PPE (personal protective equipment). Disposable PPE should be neutralized before being placed in refuse containers. Issues to watch for with regard to HF include the following. [Pg.119]

There are two issues that confuse things further. One, it is not clear whether the excavators think that the midden and trash deposits inside the rooms were debris from the activities of the people who built and used these houses, piling up on floors as they lived there, whether it was dumped subsequent to that, after the rooms were no longer in use, or even whether it was later fill. If either of the latter two alternatives proves to be the case, then the possibility arises that the Uruk occupation was subsequent to the local Late Chalcolithic, not contemporaneous with it. The Uruk inhabitants would therefore have tossed their trash over the walls and on to the steep slope of the mound and used abandoned houses as refuse containers. Or they may have moved into empty houses abandoned by their original occupants and reused them. The buildup of rubbish deposits inside rooms, which is rare in permanent sedentary occupations, is characteristic of planned abandonment and/or anticipated mobility (Berelov 2006 136). In this case Uruk deposits could easily end up side by side with Late Chalcolithic remains left in these contexts, appearing to be interstratified (Stein and Edens 1999 169). The consistent presence of some local Late Chalcolithic ceramics and the occasional sealed basket in deposits... [Pg.94]

When the plastic is cooled, it is removed from the mold, but retains the shape of the mold. It is then cut from the sheet, sometimes with some additional steps to make the final part The molds can be made from a number of materials, but since the pressures are low, the structural requirements are not that demanding. It is a process well suited for the production of large, reasonably flat parts that do not have a lot of detail, such as a plastic lid for a large refuse container. [Pg.27]

Polyolefins, and in particular polyethylene and polypropylene, are the most widely utilized plastics in the world today. The blend of a robust mechanical and physical properties palette, excellent chemical resistance, and reasonable cost for this polymer class makes it a prudent choice for use in most durable goods applications. Specifically, polyolefins are an excellent choice as a material to use in applications that require extended exposure in outdoor conditions. Polypropylene and polyethylene are routinely utilized in the manufacture of such items as refuse containers, play equipment, decorative shutters, and recreational vehicles. [Pg.3109]
