The Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program collects data on toxic chemical releases and waste management activities from U.S. industrial facilities. It was established by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 after a 1984 industrial disaster in Bhopal, India and a 1985 New York Times editorial calling for more toxic chemical data. The TRI makes data on toxic releases publicly available online and through mobile apps to support decision making by communities, government agencies, companies and others.

Access to Environmental Information in Mongolia
This document discusses access to environmental information in Mongolia under the country's Law on Information Transparency and Right to Information. It provides 5 case studies of civil society organizations using the law to obtain environmental data:
1) A coalition requested information from an oil company about its exploration activities but received incomplete responses.
2) An NGO obtained a protected area map after multiple meetings to clarify reasons for disclosure.
3) An NGO created a multilateral council for information sharing between community, companies, and government to prevent conflicts.
4) A movement's request for impact assessments was denied as "state secret."
5) A foundation received no response to requests for spending reports of environmental funds.

This document describes a study that developed indicators to identify potential priorities for reducing exposure to air pollutants in Canada. The indicators are based on emissions data from industrial facilities, transportation, and residential heating for 21 known and suspected carcinogens. The indicators, including total annual emissions and toxic equivalent emissions, are calculated for different regions of Canada to help identify pollutants and sources that may warrant further investigation and exposure reduction efforts. The regional analysis suggests that residents of Quebec and New Brunswick may face higher risks from industrial emissions, and that residential wood burning could be an important source to control, especially in northern and eastern Canada.

BCIs and DNA Nanotechnology
This talk provides a review of the current status of research related to self-assembling DNA nanotechnology (particularly DNA nanostructures, synthetic biology, and DNA origami scaffolding structures) and how the self-assembly of artificial systems might be applied in the context of neuro-nanomedicine. One application of self-assembling DNA nanotechnology might be new forms of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that are less invasive than current computer chip-based hardware solutions. Another application of self-assembling DNA nanotechnology might be high-resolution neocortical recording devices where synthetic molecules would assemble a DNA signature every time a neuron was fired.

Right to Know - Helping to promote Clean Production
The document discusses promoting transparency around pollution data through Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs). It outlines the three pillars of environmental democracy as access to information, public participation, and access to justice. PRTRs provide direct public access to pollution data without requiring information requests, increasing transparency. They have helped reduce pollution in other countries by increasing accountability, supporting state pollution programs, and allowing public oversight. The document argues it is time for Argentina to start a PRTR, with the polluted Riachuelo river basin being a relevant place to launch one.

Top 25 Toxic VA Air Zips.2015.b
This document analyzes toxic air pollution data from the EPA's Toxic Release Inventory for Virginia. It finds that total toxic air emissions in Virginia increased 7.8% from 2012 to 2013, one of the largest single-year increases on record. It identifies the top 25 facilities responsible for the largest increases in emissions during this period. Several facilities nearly doubled or more than doubled their emissions, including paper mills, power plants, and chemical manufacturers. The document examines the geographic distribution of toxic air pollution and its disproportionate impact on low-income communities and communities of color.
Top 25 localities in Virginia with Highest toxic Air Emissions
This document summarizes a report by the Sierra Club on toxic air pollution in Virginia. It identifies the top 25 zip codes for toxic air emissions and the companies responsible. The key findings are that total toxic air emissions in Virginia increased 7.8% from 2012 to 2013, with the largest increases coming from International Paper in Isle of Wight County and Honeywell in Hopewell. The report aims to provide more transparency around toxic pollution data by naming the specific companies and locations involved.

tph-ten-carcinogens-report
This document summarizes a report on the potential for exposure to ten known or probable carcinogens in Toronto workplaces and environment. It finds that nine of the ten carcinogens are present in Toronto's outdoor air at levels exceeding what is considered tolerable cancer risk. Several are also found in indoor air and food above tolerable levels. Two - benzene and PAHs - are ten times above tolerable levels. Workers in certain industries like transportation and manufacturing may be exposed to carcinogen levels hundreds to thousands of times greater than tolerable limits. The report recommends prioritizing reducing emissions and exposure of carcinogens that pose high risks, especially benzene, PAHs and dioxins.
Exploring the Potential Impact of Hydraulic Fracturing
The memo summarizes the major public policy problems surrounding hydraulic fracturing, including the lack of disclosure of chemicals used and potential water contamination. It discusses the goals of government agencies and members of Congress to address these issues, such as the EPA studying fracking's impact on water and a proposed rule from the Department of Interior requiring disclosure of fracking chemicals. However, legislation to increase regulation has faced opposition, and the political environment remains challenging for additional rules.
NatureNanotechnology2011
Regulators from the US EPA, European Commission, and OECD discuss the role of science in informing nanotechnology decisions. Science helps identify hazards, exposures, and risks to inform whether nanomaterials can be used safely. Testing requires characterization of nanomaterials and consideration of potential exposures and transformations throughout their lifecycles. Regulators worldwide are working to generate data on nanomaterials through voluntary and mandatory programs to make responsible decisions about their development and use.

Pesticide Application Air Quality Emissions Inventory Project
For more: http://www.extension.org/67678 Crops grown in this region total more than 140 million acres and are routinely treated with pesticide products, such as herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Row crops, such as corn, soybeans, and sorghum and non-row crops, such as fruit orchards, were included in the work. Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and/or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are in pesticide ingredients; VOCs being a main contributor to ground-level ozone, commonly known as smog. In this work, 458 active ingredient-specific VOC emission factors were developed, based primarily on empirically derived pesticide chemical data maintained by the California Department of Pesticide Regulations; county level active ingredient throughputs were derived from the best available information.
About TURA
The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act of 1989 was the first state law to require reducing the use of toxic chemicals. The law achieved significant reductions in the use and releases of carcinogens and other toxics. Specifically, use of carcinogens decreased by 31% and byproducts from carcinogens decreased by 49% between 1990 and 2005. The Toxics Use Reduction Institute provided technical assistance and evaluated alternatives to help industries implement less toxic processes. The program's costs were outweighed by estimated economic and health benefits, demonstrating that reducing toxin use can improve both environmental quality and business competitiveness.
Analise de risco npfa
The document provides instructions on beginning the hazard analysis process by identifying hazardous materials present in a community. It outlines several key data sources for the analysis, including historical records of chemicals frequently involved in releases, local incident reports, and facility directories. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are identified as an important source of information on chemical hazards, locations, and properties. The document provides an example MSDS and explains how to use the information presented to evaluate hazards and risks.
Taking A Proactive Approach Towards Responsibility Edited
This document summarizes trends in descriptive and normative materials related to responsible development of nanotechnology. Between 2000-2004, descriptive materials voiced need for proactive action on societal effects. After 2004, normative materials seeking to direct responsible actions increased. Some indications of proactive efforts include codes of conduct, risk assessment schemes, and funding for research on ethical implications, though little binding regulation exists. Voluntary approaches aim to promote dialogue and address uncertainties, but have also received criticism.
Nanotechnology in Consumer Products: An Update on Regulatory Responses and Li...
The document provides an overview of regulatory developments and potential litigation related to nanotechnology in consumer products. It discusses the National Nanotechnology Initiative and efforts by agencies like EPA, FDA, and NIOSH to research and potentially regulate nanomaterials. While no human health impacts have been proven yet, some animal studies suggest risks from exposure. No legal cases involving nanomaterial injuries have occurred so far. Continued research is needed to understand impacts and inform regulation.
Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTs) in Rhode Island
This document discusses leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs) in Rhode Island and options to address the issue. It provides background on LUST regulations since the 1980s. Data shows LUSTs release hazardous substances that contaminate groundwater and increase cancer rates. Three alternatives are analyzed: increasing EPA funding, enforcing state LUST laws, or banning underground tanks. Metrics to evaluate the alternatives are identified. Regression analysis shows a relationship between LUSTs and pollution levels. After weighing performance indices and stakeholder utilities, recommending enforcing state LUST laws is concluded to minimize health and environmental impacts.
CHaP_Report_26
The document summarizes chemical incident data in England and Wales from January to December 2015. Key findings include: 808 incidents were reported, with 36 fatalities from 34 incidents; fires made up 46% of incidents; and the populations most exposed to uncontained incidents lived within 250 meters of the incidents, totaling over 246,000 people across England and Wales. The highest number of incidents occurred in the South East, London, and South West regions.
Toxic Chemicals and Children’s Health in North America
This document summarizes a report on toxic chemicals and children's health in North America. It finds that in 2002, nearly half a million tons of chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer were released in Canada and the U.S. A similar amount of chemicals recognized to cause developmental and reproductive harm were also released. Over two million tons of chemicals suspected of causing developmental, reproductive or neurological harm were released. While these amounts likely underestimate the true chemical load, releases of carcinogens, developmental toxicants and neurotoxicants have decreased 7-28% from 1998-2002. The report calls for further actions to reduce chemical releases and better understand risks to children's health.
Chapter 4Environmental Policy and Regulati.docx

It describes the roles of EPA, potentially responsible parties, and communities in the cleanup process and how communities can get involved through EPA's community involvement programs.
Perfume - An Investigation of Chemicals
An investigation analyzed 36 perfume brands and found:
1) Phthalates like diethyl phthalate and synthetic musks like galaxolide and tonalide were present in most perfumes, though levels varied widely.
2) Some perfumes contained phthalates and musks at levels over 7%, while others contained barely detectable amounts.
3) Nitromusks were found only in low levels, except for one perfume containing 0.46% musk ketone.
4) The widespread use of these chemicals in perfumes means they contribute to daily human exposure, though health effects are still unclear.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
