Storage site, selection

Storage tanks should, wherever possible, be installed above ground. The site selected should not be in an unduly exposed position. Clearance must be allowed for the withdrawal from the tank of fittings such as immersion heaters and steam coils. Where tanks are installed inside buildings, they should generally be located within a tank chamber, although in some industrial installations such as steelworks and foundries, a tank chamber may not be necessary. The requirements of insurance companies and local authorities should be considered when designing these installations. 

Each of the five main steps in field conduct (site selection, test plot layout, test substance application, sample collection, and sample storage/handling) is addressed below.

The storage of solid or liquid toxic waste residues must be considered in the design of the laboratory complex. Whatever temporary storage is selected, such as berms, sheds, etc., it is imperative that a leaking drum not result in chemicals being discharged toward the aquifer. Wastes must not be stored on site for more than 90 days after collection, so the laboratory storage...

Some chemicals that are stored may remain in the body for years without exhibiting appreciable effects. One such chemical is DDT. Accumulation or buildup of free chemicals may be prevented until the storage sites are saturated. Selective storage limits the amount of foreign chemicals to be excreted, however. Since bound or stored toxicants are in equilibrium with their free forms, a chemical will be released from the storage site as it is metabolized or excreted. On the other hand, accumulation may result in illnesses which develop slowly, as exemplified by fluorosis and lead and cadmium poisoning. 

The selection of a storage site is critical, since the criterion for container life (as currently designed) is variously estimated to be between 500 and 10,000 years. Obviously, the underground storage area must be totally free of ground movement during that same time interval. Predicting...
