Book Description
The EnviroTIPS series of manualss was developed to fill a need for in-depthspill countermeasures and strategy planning information for top prioritysubstances. Each manual is intended as a monograph containing informationrelevant to its behaviour, ntrol, dispersion, effects, and cleanup of spills. The emphasis is on environmental effects, and the focus is on Canadianconditions from material, legislative and climatic standpoints. Generalprinciples of spill response are not discussed; rather, the available literature is summarized as it relates to a specific substance and to spillsof that substance. This manual is an introduction, outlining the intent anddirection of each section; it provides the necessary theoretical bases forcalculations included in each manual. In addition, the definitions of theterms appearing in EnviroTIPS manuals are given.

Chemical Spills and Emergency Management at Sea
Author: P. Bockholts
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400908873
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
International shipping is of great importance for the transport of a great many types of cargo. Substances and products considered dangerous constitute almost 50% of all the payload. It is obvious that stringent regulations are required in order to minimize the risks of accidents. These regulations, which are derived from good practice and which are based on research, have been adopted by a great number of countries. However, emergencies do occur in spite of all precautions. Such emergencies require fast and adequate response in order to confine the consequences for man and his environment to a minimum. Emergency response has political, legal, financial and technical aspects. This makes decision making extremely difficult. The papers carefully prepared and assembled in this book present an up-to-date picture of today's achievements, knowledge and difficulties that are being faced. It was the intention of Oilchem Recovery Denmark and TNO to bring the wide scatter of aspects together in a joined perspective. We also intended to spread the information on latest developments among the many people who are involved in combating calamities and in particular in decision making. Finally, we hope that this conference may help all of us to come to a safer transport of chemicals and a better aquatic environment. We thank all the authors for their magnificent contribution.

Hazards, Decontamination, and Replacement of PCB
Author: Jean-Pierre Crine
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461307473
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are dielectric liquids which have been widely used in various industries for more than 50 years because of their supposed nonflammabi 1 i ty and thei r chemical inertness. Recent acc idents all over the world have shown PCBs can burn and their combustion by products (dioxines, furanes, etc.) are highly toxic. In fact, confusion has been created in the pub 1 ie mind between the dangers and hazards induced by PCBs themselves and those generated by their byproducts. Meanwhile, PCB pollution and toxicity is a major concern for regulating agencies, such as EPA in the United States and industry. Most Western countries now ban PCB production and strictly control their use. However, enormous amounts of PCB remain in use and their safe handling, destruction and replacement are heavy burdens for industrial users. PCB pollution and its side effects are the subject of various studies with recent conferences devoted to these PCB studies. Thus a large body of specialized information now exists on the environmental, medical, bio logical and safety aspects of PCB handling, use, cleaning and decontami nation. However, no single comprehensive publication is yet available which deals with all the problems associated with PCBs. The major objective of the present book is to provide such a guide for PCB users. One interest of this book is that it brings together the point of view of scientists from widely different backgrounds: biologists, physicians, environmentalists, toxicologists, chemists, electrical engineers, etc.
