Even though their training and experience attempts to prepare them for any type of situation of any degree, they are never really in full control of the situation or outcome of hazardous terrorist attacks. Frist responders frequently rush to respond to disastrous events and are on most occasions unaware of the full extent of the damage and cause until arriving on the scene. When it comes to hazardous events, first responders face potential physical and health risk that can be major. Frist responders may arrive on the scene and experience explosions, fires, and toxin exposure that could lead to skin and organ damage such as eye and throat burns, body rashes, skin burns, and death. The types of hazardous material involved in terrorism has a varied range of materials....

...producer in the world. H & M wants to contribute to the society and the environment, so it implemented many projects and took many measures. For example, it has cooperated with UNICEF setting a project to protect the rights of some poor children all over the world (H&M and water. n.d.). Although H&M asserts that it is an ethical firm, there are still controversies exposed by the news. A Greenpeace campaigner, Frauzel, (2011) wrote a report to expose that H&M’s suppliers discharge toxic water into China’s rivers, and that H&M’s clothing contains hazardous substances and chemicals, even the children’s clothes. The following paragraphs will analyze the unethical issue and give the solutions and evaluations. The case The situation and key fact H&M has become a second largest fashion retailer, but it is criticized by the campaigners many times, such as in 2011, Frauzel (2011) reported that the clothes from H&M contained an amount of hazardous substances, such as nonylphenol, ethoxylates (NPEs) and the toxic nonylphenol (NP). Because these clothes contain chemicals, the water which is used for washing clothes would also contain chemical substances at the same time . And then the suppliers discharged the polluted water into China’s rivers, which can devastate the biological chain and food chain, and also can affect the people’s lives. Meanwhile, She mentioned that after the issue had been exposed, H&M committed to its customers that it would make a toxic-free production line to decrease...

...methods available for the disposal of waste materials. Determine which method of waste management you would recommend for the proper disposal of your selected waste materials. Be sure to provide an explanation for your recommendation. When discussing the proper disposal of any waste material the purpose would be to achieve immediate reduction of waste in our landfills, waterways and air. Incinerators are used to burn waste materials primarily for waste destruction/treatment purposes; however, some energy or material recovery can occur. When performed properly, incineration destroys the toxic organic constituents in hazardous waste and reduces the volume of the waste.” (www.epa.gov). “BIFs are typically used to burn hazardous waste for the significant energy and material recovery potential, with waste treatment being a secondary benefit. Boilers typically combust waste for energy recovery, while industrial furnaces burn waste for both energy and material recovery”. (www.epa.gov).” Recycling is almost always the best way to get rid of waste, even when it is exported abroad, according to the biggest ever report on the industry for the UK government.”(www.guarden.co.uk). After doing a lot of reading and research I have better educated myself about how we handle waste now and how we can stop destroying the earth and improve it. I believe that the best method for disposal of waste materials is recycling. By recycling solid waste, hazardous waste, we reduce the amount that is in our...

...Research Project: E-Waste 1. What are the environmental issues associated with e-waste? E-Waste (electronic or electrical) is generated from any equipment (running on electricity or a battery) that isdiscarded by the original user (still in working or non-working condition). The processes of dismantling and disposing of electronic waste in the third world lead to a number of environmental impacts as illustrated in the graphic. Liquid and atmospheric releases end up in bodies of water, groundwater, soil, and air and therefore in land and sea animals – both domesticated and wild, in crops eaten by both animals and human, and in drinking water. One study of environmental effects in Guiyu, China found the following: * Airborne dioxins – one type found at 100 times levels previously measured * Levels of carcinogens in duck ponds and rice paddies exceeded international standards for agricultural areas and cadmium, copper, nickel, and lead levels in rice paddies were above international standards * Heavy metals found in road dust – lead over 300 times that of a control village’s road dust and copper over 100 times The environmental impact of the processing of different electronic waste components: E-Waste Component | Process Used | Potential Environmental Hazard | Cathode ray tubes (used in TVs, computer monitors, ATM, video cameras, and more) | Breaking and removal of yoke, then dumping | Lead, barium and other heavy metals leaching into the ground water and...

...What is Hazardous Waste? Hazardous Waste is a "solid waste" which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may: Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored or disposed of, or otherwise mismanaged; or Cause or contribute to an increase in mortality, or an increase in irreversible or incapacitating illness. A "solid waste" is defined as any discarded material that is abandoned by being disposed of, burned or incinerated, recycled or considered "waste-like." A solid waste can physically be a solid, liquid, semi-solid, or container of gaseous material. A waste is classified as a hazardous waste if it has a hazardous characteristic listed below or is listed as a hazardous waste in EPA's page with the list of identifies hazardous wastes. We could only find the list for Ohio. Hazardous Characteristics: Ignitable Hazardous Waste A liquid waste which has a flash point of less than or equal to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) as determined by an approved test method. A non-liquid waste which, under standard conditions, is capable of causing a fire through friction, absorption of moisture or a spontaneous chemical change and when ignited, the waste burns so vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard. An ignitable compressed gas or oxidizer. Corrosive Hazardous Waste An aqueous waste with a pH ofless than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to...

...its processing plants located in California, Georgia, Michigan, and China. The business sustainability worksheets used to complete the evaluation aided the team in locating common areas of non-sustainable practices relating to land, water, and air pollution. The three non-sustainable practices evaluated further are solid waste, and hazardous waste causing land pollution, hazardous waste causing water pollution, and gaseous waste causing air pollution. These areas are the most harmful to the immediate population, which includes the plant workers and the communities. Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Causing Land Pollution One of the non-sustainable practices is adding to land pollution. Currently, off-spec materials are sent to the landfill (Apollo, 2012). In addition to this, scrap plastic managed as waste goes to the landfill (Apollo). The biggest problem is that plastic is not biodegradable. When plastic and off-spec products are sent to the landfill, breakdown occurs but at minimal rates and these take longer to biodegrade over time. To remain compliant with government regulations, Riordan Manufacturing is required to identify hazardous waste generated each month if it exceeds 2,200 pounds (Apollo, 2012). If Riordan Manufacturing’s plants generate products in excess of 2,200 pounds per month, a set procedure needs to be followed to ensure proper disposal (Apollo). Regulations are set to minimum standards, and Riordan Manufacturing should set its goals to achieve the...

...Riordan Current Business Practices Audit MGT/360 University of Phoenix Riordan Current Business Practices Audit Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer with locations in California, Georgia, Michigan, and China. The vice president of operations decided to develop a sustainability plan. Team A has been assigned the task to conduct a business audit to evaluate the Riordan’s current business practices at each location. The audit provides valuable information to identify the nonsustainable business practices and how each effects the environment. The subject in this paper is how Riordan Manufacturing will identify their nonsustainable practices, federal regulations, mandatory, and voluntary actions necessary to implement a successful sustainability plan. Nonsustainable Business Practices The business practice audits brought to light three nonsustainable practices. The three practices highlighted by the audit include wasted energy from the plants, the use of toxic cleaning solvents, and spilled ink. These three business practices can be very harmful to the environment. Burning fossil fuels for energy creates gases such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and volatile organic compounds. These gases cause air pollution. They can cause several kinds of air pollution, particular matter, smog, and ozone (New Energy Alternative, 2008). Air pollution can travel thousands of miles and can harm areas that burn fossil fuels sparingly. The next nonsustainable...
