Journal ArticleDOI
Indicators of sustainable production: framework and methodology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new tool for promoting business sustainability called indicators of sustainable production, which is defined by the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, University of Massachusetts Lowell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to nanoscale particles and fibers during machining of hybrid advanced composites containing carbon nanotubes
Dhimiter Bello,Brian L. Wardle,Namiko Yamamoto,Roberto Guzman deVilloria,Enrique J. Garcia,Anastasios John Hart,Kwangseog Ahn,Michael J. Ellenbecker,Marilyn F. Hallock +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated airborne exposures to nanoscale particles and fibers generated during dry and wet abrasive machining of two three-phase advanced composite systems containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs), micron-diameter continuous fibers (carbon or alumina), and thermoset polymer matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternatives for treatment and disposal cost reduction of regulated medical wastes.
TL;DR: By careful exclusion of non-RMW from RMW waste streams, hospitals can reduce the RMW volume that requires special treatment and reduce disposal costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyses of the recycling potential of medical plastic wastes.
TL;DR: It is suggested that a classification at waste generating sources, depending upon infection chance and/or plastic component, could be a method for the improved recycling of plastic wastes in hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne nanoparticle exposures associated with the manual handling of nanoalumina and nanosilver in fume hoods
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the handling of dry powders consisting of nano-sized particles inside laboratory fume hoods can result in a significant release of airborne nanoparticles into the laboratory environment and the researcher's breathing zone.
