Disposal of Radioactive Wastes

Almost all major nuclear operations produce residues containing radioactive materials; in reactor operations, for example, the fission products, new elements (such as plutonium) produced by neutron irradiation and the unfissioned nuclear fuel are all radioactive. Some of this material can be put to further use: useful radioisotopes, for instance, can be extracted from the fission products and p...

Treatment of Electroplating Wastes

~sing of the environment, the electroplating industry is likely to be one of the industries to be affected by the introduction of the water pollution control legislation in Hong Kong. The effect may be even more pronounced for the operators of small and medium-sized electroplating factories since they are unlikely to have any expertise in pollution control and will therefore require outside tec...

Hazardous wastes in academia.

As do many industries, colleges and universities encounter thorny problems in dealing with hazardous wastes. Industry and academia alike are saddled with the rising cost of waste management and face perpetual liability for costs of waste cleanup. Unlike many industries, however, colleges and universities generate small amounts of waste, most, but by no means all of which is generated in laborat...

Envis on Hazardous Wastes

Seabirds exposed to even a dime-sized amount of oil can die of hypothermia in cold-water regions, but despite repeated requests by Environment Canada, offshore oil operators are failing when it comes to self-monitoring of small oil spills, says new research. Chronic pollution from many small oil spills may have greater population-level impacts on seabirds than a single large spill, suggest rese...
