Additionally, unauthorized entry prevention helps to comply with regulatory requirements and maintain the integrity of the storage area.
19.
(007) A common method for disposing of hazardous wasted is
Correct Answer
A. Dilution.
Explanation
Dilution is a common method for disposing of hazardous waste. This involves mixing the waste with a large volume of water or other liquid to reduce its concentration and make it less harmful. By diluting the waste, its toxicity is reduced, making it safer to handle and dispose of. However, it is important to note that dilution alone may not be sufficient for all types of hazardous waste, and other methods such as incineration, land disposal, or biodegradation may be required depending on the specific characteristics of the waste.
20.
(007) For hazardous waste disposal, it is unlikely the Air Force can justify
Correct Answer
A. Incineration.
Explanation
The Air Force is unlikely to justify incineration as a method for hazardous waste disposal. Incineration involves burning waste at high temperatures, which can release harmful pollutants into the air. This goes against the Air Force's goal of minimizing environmental impact and promoting sustainability. Therefore, it is more likely that they would choose alternative methods such as land disposal, biodegradation, or chemico-physical treatment, which are considered to be more environmentally friendly.
