This book was released on 1996 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy and the National Shipbuilding Research Program Welding Panel (SP-7) are concerned with the recent and anticipated future reductions in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) worker exposure limits for airborne emissions. these changes involve nickel (Ni), manpanese (Mn), and hexavalent chromium (Cr(Vl)) . The concerns are due to the potential impact these reductions may have on operations in Navy facilities, public Shipyards, and private shipyards involved in the construction, maintenance, and repair of ships. A Navy/Industry task Group lead by the Naval Sea Systems Command prepared this report of the technical and economic impact of these new and anticipated reductions in worker exposure limits. this report: Identifies the manufacturing and repair operations, materials, and processes that are expected to be impacted by the recent and anticipated reductions in exposure limits. Presents data on current Worker exposure levels to Ni, Mn, total Cr, and Cr(Vl). Identifies the technical and economic impact of the anticipated reductions in the Cr(VI) PEL on Navy facilities and public and private shipyards. Identifies future actions that may be required to comply with the recent and anticipated reductions in exposure limits. This study concludes that workers in Navy facilities and public and private shipyards who perform the following operations have the potential for exposure to Ni, Mn, total Cr, and Cr(Vl) : Construction, Structural Fabrication and Repair of Facilities; Metal Cleaning; Casting; Plating; Painting; Coating; Machining; Welding; thermal Spraying; thermal Cutting and Grouping Woodworking (of pressure treated Wood); and Services (includes Transportation, motor vehicle, maintenance).

Download or read book Waste Incineration and Public Health written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-10-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incineration has been used widely for waste disposal, including household, hazardous, and medical wasteâ€"but there is increasing public concern over the benefits of combusting the waste versus the health risk from pollutants emitted during combustion. Waste Incineration and Public Health informs the emerging debate with the most up-to-date information available on incineration, pollution, and human healthâ€"along with expert conclusions and recommendations for further research and improvement of such areas as risk communication. The committee provides details on: Processes involved in incineration and how contaminants are released. Environmental dynamics of contaminants and routes of human exposure. Tools and approaches for assessing possible human health effects. Scientific concerns pertinent to future regulatory actions. The book also examines some of the social, psychological, and economic factors that affect the communities where incineration takes place and addresses the problem of uncertainty and variation in predicting the health effects of incineration processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents WHO guidelines for the protection of public health from risks due to a number of chemicals commonly present in indoor air. The substances considered in this review, i.e. benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, naphthalene, nitrogen dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (especially benzo[a]pyrene), radon, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, have indoor sources, are known in respect of their hazardousness to health and are often found indoors in concentrations of health concern. The guidelines are targeted at public health professionals involved in preventing health risks of environmental exposures, as well as specialists and authorities involved in the design and use of buildings, indoor materials and products. They provide a scientific basis for legally enforceable standards.

Download or read book Long Term Health Consequences of Exposure to Burn Pits in Iraq and Afghanistan written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many veterans returning from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have health problems they believe are related to their exposure to the smoke from the burning of waste in open-air "burn pits" on military bases. Particular controversy surrounds the burn pit used to dispose of solid waste at Joint Base Balad in Iraq, which burned up to 200 tons of waste per day in 2007. The Department of Veterans Affairs asked the IOM to form a committee to determine the long-term health effects from exposure to these burn pits. Insufficient evidence prevented the IOM committee from developing firm conclusions. This report, therefore, recommends that, along with more efficient data-gathering methods, a study be conducted that would evaluate the health status of service members from their time of deployment over many years to determine their incidence of chronic diseases.
