Description: Construction workers are exposed to fine particulate inhalation hazards during stucco removal. The ultimate goal of this research is to test a new chemical-assisted method that will reduce workers’ exposures to safer levels. To that end, the minimum specimen size must be determined that will replicate this hazardous work environment. Samples of concrete stucco surfacing material (CSSM) of various… more

Description: The Solid Waste Authority (SWA) of Palm Beach County collects leachate from its landfill in a gravity pipe leachate collection system (LCS), which is experiencing clogging due to calcium carbonate scale. An investigation was conducted to determine the solids composition and provide engineering solutions to this challenge.
During testing, it was found that aerated leachate produced foam, which… more
