In October of 2016, the EPA signed the final Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule to provide greater flexibility for hazardous waste generators and clarification around certain components of the hazardous generator program in an effort to improve compliance and environmental protection. The EPA has described the rule as “an overhaul of the hazardous waste generator regulatory program.” Some revisions appear to be more lenient than existing regulations, while others are more stringent, such as documenting hazardous waste determinations.
This presentation provides an overview of the major provisions proposed by the EPA in the new hazardous waste generator improvements rule. It outlines the four primary issues that exist with today's regulations and how some of the more significant proposals seeks to address those issues. Find out about the rule process and schedule and what this means for hazardous waste generators.

We are all familiar with the standard requirements found within the hazardous waste regulations such as labeling, closure requirements, secondary containment, training, and other basic rules and requirements. But are you aware that there are more? Taking a deeper look into RCRA regulations reveals much more, including:
Daily Tank Inspections and Recording Requirements
Subpart AA- Organic Emission Standards
Subpart BB- Air Emission Standards
And more…
We will review each of the lesser known RCRA requirements to provide you with a complete understanding of the regulation and help ensure compliance.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
