A push-pull ventilation system is effective for hazardous material exhaustion. Although a push-pull ventilation system has advantages over a local exhaust hood, some laborious adjustments are required. The pertinence of the adjustments is uncertain because it is difficult to evaluate the performance of a push-pull ventilation system quantitatively. In this study, a measurement of the capture ef...

The mining industry is among the top ten industries nationwide with high occupational injury and fatality rates, and mine rescue response may be considered one of the most hazardous activities in mining operations. In the aftermath of an underground mine fire, explosion or water inundation, specially equipped and trained teams have been sent underground to fight fires, rescue entrapped miners, ...

We evaluated 10 years of reported hazardous cargo incident information from the U.S. Air Force and Naval Safety Centers. In this first of two papers describing the hazardous cargo problems reported by the two services, we describe types of aircraft and types of hazardous cargo involved in incidents not causing aircraft mishaps. Normally, hazardous cargo must be manifested as such and no passeng...

Issues of hazardous waste management are major concerns in the countries of eastern and central Europe. A National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences-supported conference was held in Prague, Czech Republic, as a part of a continuing effort to provide information and promote discussion among the countries of eastern and central Europe on issues related to hazardous wastes. The focus was ...

Flood-related issues include the impact of groundwater on flood protection measures and other subsurface structures in a protected area. At same time, elements may significantly influence natural regime affect existing during non-flood periods. The paper provides an overview hazardous factors linked to specifies variables for quantification related hazards. Appropriate hydraulic flow models are...

Pressure relief valves and vents in the petrochemical industry are often the last line of defense in averting a major accident. Recent design standards (API 520/521) have been developed which have reduced the recommended exit velocities for hydrocarbons from pressurized storage. There are computer models available which predict the release and dispersion of high velocity gas jets. In some insta...
