Orientation to Health Risk Assessment for Practicing Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The purpose of this article is to acquaint the practicing engineer with the principles that underlie the health risk assessment process and provide an orientation to emerging techniques for dealing with the effects of ... -
Low-Level and Mixed Radioactive Waste In-Drum Solidification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E) has begun production-scale testing of a low-level and mixed radioactive waste solidification system. This system will be used to treat low-level and mixed radioactive waste to meet ... -
VOC Ground-Water Sampling Decontamination Procedures: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A case study is presented where acetone was detected in ground water at a site even though acetone was neither used by the current or previous facility operators nor during ground-water sampling for volatile organic ... -
Groundwater Modeling and GIS to Determine Exposure to TCE at Tucson
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, determined what portion of the city of Tucson received trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated drinking water from ... -
Ground-Water Flow and Contamination Models: Description and Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)This paper follows the work of Reddi and his colleagues, and summarizes the activities of the ASCE Groundwater Quality Committee in fulfilling tasks 4 and 5 outlined in their work. The capabilities and limitations of ... -
Brownfields Development in Massachusetts through Privatized Cleanup: One State's Solution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)As an example of an innovative Brownfields program, the Massachusetts regulatory framework, together with its Clean Sites Initiative, creates a mechanism through a variety of elements that facilitates the cleanup and ... -
