The oxidation of lipids such as biodiesel decreases their fuel quality due to the formation of hazardous secondary products during storage [14].
Rainfall-triggered lahars are arguably the most hazardous secondary events at volcanoes (e.g., Volcán de Fuego de Colima, Mexico, Capra et al. [2010], post-1991 Pinatubo eruption, Philippines, Pierson et al. [1992]; Rodolfo et al. [1996]; post-1965 Irazú eruptions, Costa Rica, Pavanelli [2006]).
Contaminated sediment can release hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) and thereby act as a secondary source of primarily legacy hazardous substances to the water column.
In the context of climate warming, secondary ground icings may become more hazardous to the permafrost power line.
Funding for prescribed fire programs is often justified primarily on hazardous fuels reduction with secondary consideration given for ecological effectiveness, which can be increased by particular fire mosaic patterns in some systems.
No residences were within 5 km of secondary copper smelters, cement kilns burning hazardous waste, iron ore sintering plants, or industrial boilers.
Of the responding fire workers (who are professionally familiar with the management of released hazardous materials) 9.9% suffered secondary contamination, while the rate among medical personnel at St Luke's hospital (where most of the casualties were received) was 23%.
Although some measures have been taken to green the tailings impoundments, they continue to act as potential contamination sources of the environment and are vulnerable by rainwater infiltration to mobilization of hazardous/priority hazardous metals and ions from secondary minerals.
Preparations for potential secondary attacks directed at rescue workers, including hazardous material and bioterrorism, were reviewed by the emergency and critical care director with the hospital director.
Examples include severed sewer, gas, water and electrical lines and secondary physical events such as flooding, mudslides and hazardous materials release.
