The use of glutaraldehyde for decontamination and preservation of water systems involves important considerations relevant to its ecotoxicity profile, biodegradation properties and safe handling and storage guidelines. This paper will review data from ecotoxicity studies, in addition to biodegradability characteristics

Materials stewardship is an informed approach to materials management that addresses the maintenance of the material during product ownership and the “second life” of the material after its present use expires.
Concrete repair is a neglected primary example of sustainable construction and green building practices. Sustainability in construction is a topic of increasing importance. Concrete has high embodied energy and much documentation exists about the sustainable nature of concrete in new construction. Concrete maintenance, protection, and repair are the ultimate acts of sustainability in construction because they preserve this embodied energy. Rating systems should be adopted to better capture the sustainable nature of concrete preservation
A life cycle costing analysis (LCCA) is the process of compiling cost estimates for each coating system option in combination with the expected life span of each of those options. In general terms, the lowest cost per year of service is the most economical choice. This LCCA process can be paired with an environmental impact analysis to evaluate the sustainability considerations of managing the water tank asset. One of the most commonly addressed factors in an environment life cycle assessment is a calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a process, presented in equivalent CO2 emissions.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a 20-40% increased risk of certain types of cancer, lung cancer in particular, for those who come into regular contact with, or work with paint. This paper will give a highlight on the challenges that are facing the adoption of green paints in a variety of applications and the current status for that including paint formulations, supply chain, and community education.
With growing concerns of climate change and carbon footprint, many companies and industries arelooking into ways to reduce their impact on the environment. For the coatings industry, this can beachieved by tackling a multitude of different sources that contribute to climate change such as energyconsumption, solvent emissions, and more. Recently, there have been more discussions on bio-basedraw materials and their contribution to meeting sustainability goals set by both resin and paintmanufacturers.
Corrosion’s destructive effects on critical steel infrastructure have costly economic and securityimplications for the United States. According to a NACE International report from 2001, the annualcorrosion costs in the United States industrial sector were $47.9 billion per year, with the largest portionstemming from the maintenance of critical utilities such as gas, water, electric, and telecommunications. Catastrophic failure due to corrosion jeopardizes the resilience of critical utilities, risking the interruption of service to millions and creates weak-points the nation’s homeland security.
Zinc rich primers, both organic and in-organic coatings, are extensively used in the marine and offshore industry. The beneficial effect of zinc-rich primer on the longevity of protective coatings is primarily assumed to be due to a cathodic protection mechanism. During the 60’s and the 70’s zinc rich epoxy primers dominated the market.
