Significance and Use4.1 ApplicabilityThis guide is intended to describe aplanning audit that will improve the shipowners ability toforecast costs and schedule impacts and aid the shipowner inidentif
18、ying environmental, health, and safety concerns associ-ated with the removal, handling, and disposal of potentiallyhazardous shipboard materials.4.2 UseAudits may be performed to aid in planning for avariety of events, including maintenance, repair, modification,purchase, or scrapping. To maximize e
19、fficiency, audits shouldbe tailored to meet the specific needs of the shipowner, withtarget materials identified during the planning process.4.3 CautionLegal restrictions on the removal and disposalof materials discussed in this guide may vary significantly fromport to port, both within the United S
20、tates and abroad. Reasonsfor this variation include the decentralized nature of portcontrol, state, and local environmental regulations, and thelocal availability of landfill or treatment facilities. Users of thisguide should consult local authorities to obtain information onspecific legal requireme
21、nts.5. Procedure5.1 PlanningObjectives for the waste management auditshould be established at the planning stage. A well-plannedaudit will focus on target materials in critical locations tominimize audit costs. Waste management audits, therefore,should be performed by environmental, health, and safe
22、tyexperts familiar with the specific objectives of the audit. Pastaudit reports of the area and other documentation that mayprovide insight into material characterization should be re-viewed to avoid the expense of unnecessary tests. For example,construction specifications may characterize a particu
23、larmaterial, eliminating the need for testing. In some instances,inspection of the ship or interviews with personnel on-site maybe beneficial in planning the audit.5.2 TestingMany materials will require sampling andcharacterization tests. A sampling plan should be followed byqualified and authorized
24、 personnel. Analysis performed by aqualified or certified laboratory may be required.6. Potential Shipboard Generated Wastes6.1 Asbestos:6.1.1 DescriptionAsbestos is the common name of anumber of substances including amosite, anthrophyllite,amphibole, and chrysotile (1).6When asbestos becomesfriable
25、, it may be inhaled or swallowed, penetrating bodytissues and remaining there for many years. Exposure toasbestos has been linked to asbestosis, mesothelioma, and othercancers. Exposure to cigarette smoke may increase the long-term risk of developing asbestos-related lung cancer by asmuch as 90 %.6.
26、1.2 UsesMany common construction products containasbestos, although use of the material in the United States wassignificantly reduced during the 1970s. Likely products includepipe lagging and other types of insulation, vinyl tile andlinoleum, floor tile adhesives, cement sheet and fiberboard,brake p
27、ads and linings, and gasket materials, particularly forhigh-temperature applications.6.1.3 Test Methods (for Thermal Insulation) (2):6.1.3.1 SamplingThe area to be sampled should be sub-divided into homogeneous areas, and sampling of each homo-geneous area should be conducted in a statistically rand
28、ommanner. For surface materials, collect at least three samples foreach area under 1000 ft2, at least five for areas between 1000and 5000 ft2, and at least seven for each area greater than 5000ft2. For piping insulation, collect at least three samples fromeach homogeneous section of piping.6.1.3.2 A
29、nalysisSamples should not be composited foranalysis. Analysis of each sample should be conducted usingthe Polarized Light Microscopy Method described in EPA600/M4-82-020. Under current U.S. regulations, a homoge-neous area may be considered free of asbestos if all samplesfrom that area are shown to
30、contain less than 1 % of asbestos.6.1.4 Handling Precautions (3)Asbestos should only behandled by trained personnel. If asbestos must be disturbed, thearea should be isolated and well-labeled to protect employeesnot involved with the removal or repair work. Protectiveclothing including disposable co
31、veralls, gloves, goggles, and arespirator should be worn when handling asbestos, and person-nel should remove contaminated clothes and wash beforeleaving the work site. Material should be kept wet to minimizepotential for airborne fibers. Waste products should be stored inplastic bags in a sealed ri
32、gid container and protected fromphysical damage. Asbestos material, including asbestos waste,should be stored in an isolated, regulated, and well-markedarea. Smoking, eating, drinking, chewing, or applying cosmet-ics should be avoided in areas in which asbestos exposure islikely. Practice E849 provi
33、des additional details. Asbestosreplacement materials also may pose environmental, safety,and health risks.6.2 PCB-Contaminated Media:6.2.1 DescriptionPCBs have many useful properties in-cluding high stability, low vapor pressure, low flammability,high heat capacity, and low electrical conductivity.
34、 They aresuspected carcinogens, however, and have been associatedwith adverse health and reproductive effects. They also have ahigh potential for bioaccumulation in the food chain.Anumberof trade names exist for PCBs, including Aroclor, Asbestol,Chlorextol, Diaclor, and Dykanol (4).6The boldface num
35、bers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.F1799 97 (2015)26.2.2 UsesBecause of the many positive characteristics ofPCBs, oils containing PCBs have been used in a great varietyof applications. The most common use has been as a dielectricfluid in transformers, capa
36、citors, and other electrical equip-ment. The oil also has been used in many other situationsincluding hydraulic equipment, paints, oil-soaked gasketmaterial, and as a plasticizer in many other products. PCBshave been banned in the United States since the mid-1970s, butmaterials manufactured after th
37、e ban have been found tocontain them. Applications involving mobile forms of PCBspose a much greater risk to personnel and the environment.Typical shipboard materials that may contain mobile forms ofPCBs include electrical equipment containing dielectric fluid,oil-soaked gasket material, oil-soaked
38、insulation material, andhydraulic fluids.6.2.3 Test Methods:6.2.3.1 SamplingBecause of significant variation in thePCB content of similar materials, mixing or combiningsamples prior to analysis is not recommended. Similarly,random samples cannot prove untested items either to containor to be free of
39、 PCBs. Liquid oils may be sampled usingPractices D923.6.2.3.2 AnalysisMaterials may be analyzed using EPASW-846, Method 8080.6.2.4 Handling PrecautionsPCBs should only be handledby trained personnel. Protective equipment should be wornwhen handling PCBs, with particular attention to avoiding skinand
40、 respiratory exposure. Work spaces should be well venti-lated (3).6.3 Refrigerants:6.3.1 DescriptionRefrigerants present similar health andenvironmental dangers and may be discussed as a group. Manyrefrigerants are ozone-depleting substances. In general, refrig-erants are relatively safe and stable
41、gases, but may displaceoxygen to dangerously low levels when released into confinedspaces. Some refrigerants also may have acute toxic effects orresult in increased cardiac sensitization at high concentrations.6.3.2 UsesA number of chemicals are used as refrigerantsin shipboard air conditioning or r
42、efrigeration systems. Almostall are halocarbons, with CFC 12 and HCFC 22 being the mostcommon of the traditional refrigerants. Concern for the ozone-depleting potential of these substances has led to the introduc-tion of another common refrigerant, HFC 134a.6.3.3 Test MethodsIdentification of materi
43、als typicallywill not require testing. A quick review of system technicalmanuals should reveal the refrigerant used in the system, andany bottles containing refrigerant gas should be labeled.6.3.4 Handling PrecautionsWork on air conditioning andrefrigeration systems should be performed only by quali
44、fiedpersonnel. Refrigerants should not be intentionally released tothe atmosphere. Refrigerants present in air conditioning orrefrigeration equipment should be recovered and recycled(refrigerants typically have a high resale or recycling value), asdescribed in ASHRAE Guideline 3. If accidental relea
45、seoccurs, personnel should leave the area and avoid inhalingvapors. Personnel requiring emergency medical attention fol-lowing inhalation of refrigerants should not be given cat-echolamine drugs, such as epinephrine, because of the potentialfor increased cardiac sensitization. As a result of possibl
46、e toxicby-products of combustion, refrigerants should be kept awayfrom open flame. Smoking should not be allowed in areas inwhich refrigerants may leak to the atmosphere.6.4 Used or Waste Oils:6.4.1 DescriptionWaste oils include a variety of oil prod-ucts that have been contaminated through use or s
47、torage to thepoint at which they can no longer be used for their intendedpurpose. Many used oils can be recycled. This category doesnot include water contaminated with small amounts of oil,which is addressed in 6.7.6.4.2 UsesThe primary sources of shipboard used orwaste oils are from hydraulic syste
48、ms, engine room machinery,lubricating systems, and fuel systems.6.4.3 Test MethodsTests for halogen content and flashpoint are the most common, but test procedures will varydepending on the intended disposal method and suspectedcontaminants.6.4.4 Handling PrecautionsRecycling may includeprocesses, s
49、uch as reclamation, burning for energy recovery,reprocessing, or re-refining. The recycling potential of a usedoil product will be dependent on the quantity of contaminantspresent. Contaminants may include arsenic, cadmium,chromium, lead, PCBs, sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, or halogens(chlorine, fluorine, and bromine). Unusually low flash pointsalso may limit recycling potential, as will the presence ofdispersants or emulsifying agents. Table 1 summarizes poten-tial recycling problems associated with a variety of common oilproducts.6.5 Paint Products:
