The Transboundary Movement Of Hazardous Waste A Comparative Analysis, Els Reynaers

LLM Theses and Essays

An analysis of the transboundary movement of hazardous waste requires a comparative examination of three main regulatory entities. First, the international Basel Convention on the Control of the Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal will be covered. More particularly, an inquiry of its raison d'etre, will be followed by a critical examination of its goals and mechanisms. The relationship the United States has with the Convention and its national approach towards the export of hazardous waste will be covered next. A brief investigation of the real situation impacts of the Basel Convention will finalize this chapter. The second …

Environmental And Occupational Exposure To Ultraviolet Radiation And Associated Health Risks, Thomas Daniel Tenkate

All ETDs from UAB

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is produced by many sources, and for most people the sun is their main source of exposure. In the occupational environment there are also many artificial sources, of which welding arcs are the predominant and most intense. This dissertation represents a synthesis and interpretation of information (both empirical and review) that is contained in five journal articles. These articles address personal exposure, evaluation and control of UVR from both natural and artificial sources, and in particular exposure to UVR from welding arcs. This research has shown that workers in a welding environment have personal exposures to UVR …

Hydraulic Fracturing: Stimulating Your Well Or Trespassing?, Laura H. Burney

Faculty CLE

Many courts may determine hydraulic fracturing to be an impermissible trespass. Hydraulic fracturing is a common method used to increase production from oil and gas wells. However, the extent of wellbore fractures can only be determined by theoretical calculations. This reality affects the application of the legal doctrines of the rule of capture, common law trespass, and implied covenants in the oil and gas lease. When these controversies reach the court, a traditional policy conflict is also at play: whether to protect property rights or to encourage oil and gas production.

Without express legislative endorsement of fracturing as promoting valuable …
