Lead Safe HEPA vacuum

Jersey City, NJ – What is a “HEPA” Vacuum? HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) hovers differ from conventional vacuums in that they hold in filters that are capable of trapping exceedingly small, micron sized particles. A real HEPA filter can trap 99.97% of all airborne Molecules bigger than 0.3 microns. To illustrate how little this is, a human red blood cell (RCBC) is usually between 6 and 8 microns wide.

Why do HEPA vacuums need to be used for lead dust cleaning?

Airborne lead dust particles are approximately 2 or 3 microns in size and adjudicated dust can be anything bigger than this all the way up to fully size paints chips. Although any household vacuum forced out to pick up paint chips, the ordinary household hoovers Discharges particles smaller than 50 micro-meters which means that the vast bulk of the smallest and nearly easily spread particles are being blown back into the air.

If I use a HEPA vacuum to clear a surface, acts that mean it’s free of lead dust?

A Lead Safe HEPA vacuum will call for loose dust from aerofoil’s, however a residue of cohered lead dust will likely continue on the surface which should be made clean by wet wiping or cleaning.

Are all Lead Safe HEPA vacuums the same?

Vacuum producers are not demanded to test their vacuums for particle emissions so the lineament and filtration capability of HEPA vacuums can vary greatly.


Steps to reduce lead in tap water

Face it, you are creating a little leap of faith when you fill up a glass with tap water and pass it to a young child. You are trusting that it’s healthy and free of hazardous elements such as lead, which causes neurological problems and can damage growth and hearing in kids. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA,) it can cause hypertension, memory troubles and other consequences for adults.

The risks of lead in drinking water resurfaced this week after the congressional subcommittee covered that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made delusive assurances in 2004 when lead levels in tap water spiked out.

The spike out in lead levels bumped after there was a alteration in the chemical habituated to purify drinking water, which stimulated more lead to leach into the drinking water from lead water lines serving some homes. The federal authority stressed this week that a dissimilar chemical has been habituate since the 2004 trouble and that today’s lead levels are “far below the EPA’s regulatory necessities.”

Simple habits to reduce lead in tad water, such as getting the water run for a few minutes first thing in the break of the day, using the correctly filters or having your water examined, offer assurance that what you are drinking is as safe as you are able to make it.

Whether filter is one that goes under the sink, inhered in the tap, in the pitcher or in an ice maker, just make sure the water filter claims to meet NSF Standard 53 and expressly says that it brings down lead. Consider imparting a filter — or filtered pitcher — to the bathroom tap if you or your kids use it for a middle-of-the-night drink.

Although some garden hoses are commercialized as being “lead safe,” be skeptical. Nozzles, hoses and other hardware used in the garden is mostly unregulated — and not designated for water that’s for individual consumption. A gulp from your garden hose could be a fond memory from your youth — but it is not safe.

EPA coal ash waste proposal

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the first-ever federal rules to regulate coal ash waste or “coal combustion residuals”, which are the spin-off of burning off coal to create power. The large bulks of coal ash rendered by power plants may be cast out either in liquid form at large surface impoundments or in solid form at landfills. Coal ash may also be reprocessed for beneficial uses, including use in concrete, cement, and wallboard.

In its press release, the federal agency stated that coal ash waste holds back “contaminants like cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, which are linked up with cancer and various other grievous health effects” and thought that without suitable disposal safeguards, these toxins could mixed into groundwater and migrate to drinking water sources. A main impetus for the EPA’s current efforts toward coal ash rule was the December 2008 falling out of a surface impoundment, where 5.4 million cubic yards of ash flooded nearby waterways and land, displacing residents and leaving in an expected $1.2 billion in cleaning costs.

The EPA coal ash waste proposal takes an unusual approach therein proffers 2 unlike alternatives for coal ash rule under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the nation’s main solid and hazardous waste law. The 2 alternatives take issue significantly both in breadth and means of enforcement. Regulation under Subtitle C, which regulates hazardous wastes, would constitute a comprehensive authority to regulate coal ash from generation to disposition, with permitting necessities and direct federal enforcement. In reply to industry’s interest that regulation of coal ash as hazardous would denounce and hamper its good reuse, the EPA proposes to list coal ash in a recently created “special waste” category under Subtitle C.

The 2nd option is regulation under Subtitle D, which links up to nonhazardous residential and industrial solid wastes. Under this alternative, the EPA would lay down performance standards for waste management facilities but wouldn’t have “cradle-to-grave” authority to influence coal ash. In addition, the EPA rules wouldn’t require tolerating and wouldn’t be federally enforceable, alternatively leaving enforcement to citizen suits and state action.

Regulation under either Subtitle C or Subtitle D would demand protections such as linings and groundwater monitoring for recently landfills, groundwater monitoring for subsisting landfills, and retrofitting of liners for subsisting surface impoundments, conjointly with strong incentives for closing and changeover to dry storage. In addition, both choices would hold back the current exemption from EPA regulation for coal ash designated for beneficial reuse.
