Waste disposal technologies for polychlorinated biphenyls.
Improper practices in the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes by land burial, chemical means and incineration distribute these chemicals and related compounds such as polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) throughout the environment. The complete range of methods for disposal that have been proposed and are in use are examined and analyzed...

PCBs have been demonstrated to cause a variety of adverse health effects. PCBs have been shown to cause cancer in animals. PCBs have also been shown to cause a number of serious non-cancer health effects in animals, including effects on the immune system, reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine system and other health effects. Studies in humans provide supportive evidence for potential c...
متن کاملSafe disposal and effective destruction of clinical wastes.
In this edition of the Journal of Hospital Infection, Kanemitsu et al. report their findings from laboratory studies intended to evaluate the efficacy of incineration as a method for sterilization of clinical wastes. High-temperature incineration is regarded as a wholly effective ‘gold standard’ method for the sterilization of wastes, although few attempts have been made to obtain ‘proof of pro...
متن کاملPolychlorinated Biphenyls
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are industrial compounds with multiple industrial and commercial uses (Table 41.1). PCBs are chemically inert and stable when heated. These properties contribute greatly to PCBs having become environmental contaminants. The chemical inertness and heat stability properties that make PCBs desirable for industry also protect them from destruction when the products ...
متن کاملDisposal 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...
