Materials Flashcards
What is the intent of the Material Concept?
Limit lead on Newly installed fire alarms, meters, sensors, relays, thermostats and load break switches?
- RoHS restrictions.
2. Products contain no more than 0.01% (100 ppm) of lead by weight.
Limit lead in paint?
- Paints have a lead concentration of 100 ppm (0.1%) by weight or below.
- Paints have no added lead carbonates and lead sulfates.
- Paints are deemed free of lead or with no added lead by an ISO 14024-compliant (Type 1) Ecolabel, or a
voluntary third-party certification program recognized by the local government where the project is
located. - Paints meet Feature X08: Materials Optimization.
Limit lead in Drinking water pipes, fittings and solder
a. The product is approved for use with drinking water by a local government authority or by a governmentauthorized certification body.
b. The product has a weighted wetted average of 0.25% of lead or less, verified by a third party, or is labeled as
ANSI/NSF 372-compliant.
Limit Mercury in Newly installed fluorescent
3.5mg to 10mg
Limit Mercury in Newly installed Sodium lamps
- RoHS restrictions, or
10mg for < 400W
32mg for > 400W
Limit Mercury in Newly installed fire alarms, meters, sensors, relays, thermostats and load break switches
- RoHS restrictions.
2. Products contain no more than 0.1% (1000 ppm) of mercury by weight
.List of product categories do not contain over 1,000 ppm of asbestos by weight?
- Thermal protection, including all insulation (lagging) applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, tanks and ducts.
- Acoustic treatments.
- Sheathing.
- Roofing and siding.
- Fire and smoke protection.
- Joint protection.
- Plaster and gypsum board.
- Ceilings.
- Resilient flooring.
How many death asbestos exposure causes every year?
200,000 deaths annually
What hazardous material is banned worldwide?
PCB
What does asbestos exposure causes in the body?
Mesothelioma
What does ingested, absorbed or breathed lead in the body?
t accumulates in blood, tissues and bones, potentially disrupting body functions and mpairing the intellectual development of children and the unborn during pregnancy
How to manage asbestos?
- list of locations of PACM
2. Confirmation with PLM or TEM testing. . Materials having over 1% of asbestos are considered ACM
: Asbestos action plan
a. Notification of any works to relevant authorities and persons living, working or transiting in the vicinity of the building or space.
b. Preventative measures against the formation and spread of asbestos fibers in the air during remedial work.
c. Measures taken for workers’ protection during remediation activities, including but not limited to skin and respiratory protection.
d. If ACM are being removed, activities are carried out for proper handling of ACM waste, including: wetting of all removed ACM, care in transportation to prevent crumbling, sealing and leak-tight transportation, proper labeling and final disposal in locations allowed by applicable laws and permits.
e. Post-remediation clearance for occupancy confirmation by testing of fibers in air using phase contrast
f. If any of the asbestos is managed by methods other than removal, the month and year of follow-up inspection to evaluate the structural integrity of the ACM must be stated and cannot exceed three years from the date of the last inspection.
Manage Lead Paint Hazards
- An inventory of locations of potential sources and sinks of lead-containing materials, where leadcontaining paint may be present.
- Confirmation of lead hazards through in-situ test results by x-ray fluorescence (XRF) or by laboratory
analyses of paint chips and/or surface dusts.
Manage Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Hazards
- Determination of locations where materials potentially containing PCBs may be disturbed.
- If caulk is to be disturbed or removed, analysis of the presumably PCB-containing material following protocols mandated by local laws or, in absence of local laws, by any applicable US EPA or ISO testing
