This book was released on 2011 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple pre-cleaned, four-room residential containments were each subjected to a single high-dust generating activity involving lead-based paint. After dust generation, a geometric wipe sampling grid was used, with a target of 8 interior and 8 perimeter samples in each room, to assess dust-lead on the floors. The containment was then cleaned using the "High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) vacuum/3-bucket wet-mop/HEPA vacuum" procedure found in the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development Guidelines. Post-cleaning (clearance) floor wipe samples were then taken at side-by-side locations to the pre-cleaning samples. It was found that: [1] floor dust-lead along the perimeters of rooms was three times more difficult to clean than dust-lead from the interiors of the rooms; [2] post-cleaning dust-lead loadings tended to be higher along the perimeters of the rooms than in the interiors of the rooms such that clearance failure was much more likely for individual floor samples collected along the perimeters; and [3] four-wipe composite sampling within each room (two randomly selected from the perimeter and two randomly selected from the interior) provided a very reliable method for detecting clearance failure (99% or greater) versus a randomly selected single wipe sample per room (50% or less).

Download or read book Environmental Consulting Fundamentals written by Benjamin Alter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an environmental consultant with more than 20 years of experience, and based on a course he taught for 10 years, Environmental Consulting Fundamentals: Investigation and Remediation introduces the basic building blocks of environmental consulting. Rather than formulas and equations, it emphasizes the thought processes that go into designing an environmental study, interpreting the data, and selecting the next step—be it further investigation or remediation. The book begins with an overview of environmental consulting, the regulatory structures that impact the work, and the underlying science of environmental processes. It then takes you through the steps of subsurface investigations and remediations, from Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments through to remedial actions. This is followed by an outline of ecological risk assessment and mitigation and a chapter on environmental impact assessments, a large subfield in environment consulting. Moving indoors, the book then covers environmental issues related to buildings, including asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, mold, and indoor air quality. The final chapter describes a typical environmental consulting project, from designing the scope of work to developing a prospective budget and project schedule. Throughout, photographs, illustrations, and examples of environmental problems make the theoretical concepts more concrete. A primer for those interested in a career in this dynamic, multidisciplinary field, this is also a handy reference for practicing consultants. Combining theory and practical advice, it provides an accessible introduction to the type of projects you may encounter as an environmental consultant.

This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lead - Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair and Painting Program (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Lead - Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair and Painting Program (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 As part of a settlement of litigation over certain post-renovation cleaning requirements of the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule, the EPA agreed to propose a number of revisions to the 2008 RRP rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards for persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities and to subsequently take final action on the proposed rule by July 15, 2011. The proposed rule published on May 6, 2010. EPA has decided not to promulgate dust wipe testing and clearance requirements as proposed. However, EPA is promulgating several other revisions to the RRP rule, including a provision allowing a certified renovator to collect a paint chip sample and send it to a recognized laboratory for analysis in lieu of using a lead test kit, minor changes to the training program accreditation application process, standards for e-learning in accredited training programs, minimum enforcement provisions for authorized state and tribal renovation programs, and minor revisions to the training and certification requirements for renovators. EPA is also promulgating clarifications to the requirements for vertical containment on exterior renovation projects, the prohibited or restricted work practice provisions, and the requirements for high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums. Today's action is EPA's final action on all aspects of the May 6, 2010 proposal.

Download or read book Lead Poisoning written by Joseph J. Breen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lead Poisoning discusses one of the most critical and preventable environmentally induced illnesses. The actual toll lead poisoning takes on society cannot be measured fully due to the "silent" nature of health effects, such as subtle intellectual deficits and neurological damage, caused by chronic low-level exposures. This book covers every major topic on the subject, including lead poisoning in children, sources of contamination, state-of-the-art sampling and analytical measurement methods, the newest studies on low-cost abatement methods, and much more. This reference is the most comprehensive presentation of issues currently available under one cover. The text is divided into three major parts. Part I provides insights from studies assessing lead exposures from paint, dust, soil, and lead battery recycling operations. The second part is a unique collection of strategic federal policy statements from the U.S. EPA, HUD, and HEW-CDC. It details the National Implementation Plan as well as a local government's efforts to provide low-cost effective risk communication and public outreach to the community. The next part offers seven chapters on analytical issues in the measurement of lead in blood, paint, dust, and soils. Part IV, Sampling Methods and Statistical Issues, rounds out the technical portion of the volume. The relationships among lead levels in biological and environmental media are investigated and the interpretive problems discussed. The use of multi-element analysis of environmental samples as an approach to investigate sources is described. The book finishes with its most unique feature-OPPT's Check Our Kids for Lead Program, one organization's effort to empower its employees to make a personal difference in confronting the problem of lead poisoning in children. The Program serves as a model for other government organizations (federal, state, and local), university and community organizations, and corporations to educate them and take personal and corporate responsibility for addressing this important and environmental health problem.
