Book Description
Data is presented for several methods of controlling contaminated dust at hazardous waste sites. Commercial dust suppressant products were applied to exposed areas and spoil storage piles to control wind erosion emissions. Windscreens were also used to control emissions from the storage piles. The chemical dust suppressants were effective in controlling wind erosion emissions in both applications. Windscreens were effective in reducing windspeed but did not produce commensurate reductions in particulate concentrations coming from the pile. Emissions generated by equipment movement during active cleanup were controlled by spraying the active work area with water and with a water-surfactant mixture. Emissions generated by loading soil into a truck were controlled with an array of spray nozzles mounted on the sides of the truck bed. A similar array of foam nozzles was also used to control loading emissions. All of these methods were effective in reducing emissions generated by active cleanup.

Book Description
This book contains information of interest to those charged with selecting remediation processes for cleaning up hazardous waste from abandoned disposal sites. The individual chapters provide technology descriptions and a wealth of appropriate technical data for many specific technologies being proposed today or containing and treating wastes in, around, and under abandoned sites.

Book Description
The Sustainability Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineer s Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE SEI) prepared these guidelines to advance the understanding of sustainability in the structural community and to incorporate concepts of sustainability into structural engineering standards and practices. This book will educate and guide structural engineers as they meet the challenge to design and construct a sustainable built environment. The guidelines are organized into five sections: Sustainable Design and Construction, Sustainable Strategies, Building Materials, Infrastructure, and Case Studies. Although many of the subjects presented are related, each section and the related subsections have been written to stand alone, allowing this report to be used as a practical reference. This report was written for structural engineers, but related disciplines will also benefit from the contents. The book includes an important section on infrastructure because, many of the concepts and ideas presented in this guide relate to infrastructure, as well as design and construction.

Book Description
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.
