Engineering Research Center for Hazardous Substance Control

加州大学洛杉矶分校将建立一个有害物质控制工程研究中心。有害物质控制工程研究中心的目标是发展和应用基本的工程概念和跨学科系统方法来控制有害物质。该系统方法考虑通过对有害物质的处理、最终处置、从容器中可能释放、在环境中运输和转化，以及人类、动物或植物最终暴露于这些毒素，最大限度地减少有害物质在制造过程中的产生。加州大学洛杉矶分校中心的研究将包括研究控制有害物质的新兴和未来技术，以及管理和修复已经受到有害物质污染的场地的战略。最初的整体系统级计划重点将是受污染的地下水和土壤的原位处理，以及焚烧系统和安全处置残留物。一个影响本科生到博士后的危险废物多方面的教育计划将是该中心的一个特点。继续教育课程将包括有毒有害物质控制和管理证书课程。

UCLA will establish an Engineering Research Center on Hazardous Substance Control. The goal of the Engineering Research Center for Hazardous Substances Control is to develop and apply fundamental engineering concepts and an interdisciplinary systems approach to hazardous substances control. This systems approach considers the minimization of hazardous substances generation from their origin in a manufacturing process through their treatment, eventual disposal, possible release from containment, transport and transformation in the environment, and the eventual exposure of humans, animals, or plants to these toxins. Research in the UCLA Center will include studies of emerging and future technologies for the control of hazardous substances as well as strategies for managing and remediating sites already contaminated with hazardous substances. The initial overall systems level program thrusts will be in-situ treatment of contaminated ground water and soil, and incineration systems and secured disposal residuals. A multi-faceted educational program in hazardous wastes impacting undergraduates to postdoctorates will be a feature of the Center. A program in continuing education will include a Certificate Program in Toxic and Hazardous materials control and Management.
