New system for disposal of wastes necessary
Rv ACHAI MEHRA
Staff Writer
The University of Kansas does not have a major biohazard waste disposal problem, but it needs money to implement new federal regulations governing the disposal of the wastes, and that of the KU biohazards committee said.
KU has buys a $170,369 increase in its fiscal 1983 budget request for disposal of hazardous wastes generated in lab classes and research.
DENNIS D. LANE, assistant professor of civil engineering and chairman of the University's biohazards committee, said he expected that the money would be used to set up a central system for
disposing of bioblazardous wastes, which include wastes such as the cleaning substance acetone that can cause death or in death in concentrated form.
A centralized system, he said, became necessary after new federal regulations went into effect in January.
The new regulations require the University to maintain a log of hazardous wastes generated, disposal waste and the amount of wastes disposed.
Lane, who is conducting a study of KU's blazhardous waste disposal problem, said KU does not have a severe hazardous waste disposal problem.
Lane's study focuses on biohazardous wastes and not radioactive wastes,
which are regulated by the radiation safety service.
Lane, who carried out an inventory of hazardous wastes generated in the University during the first phase of his study, said although KU does not contain hazardous waste in terms of quantity, there are a lot of little things lving around.
“Sometimes the amount is less than half a gram, and it has to lie around until enough accumulates to make shipment worthwhile,” he said.
MOST OF THE hazardous wastes, about six kilograms every year, are shipped to landfill sites in Wichita and Texas. Lane said.
Each shipment can cost up to $500, he said, often regardless of the amount shipped.
Sometimes less than 100 grams are shipped, he said.
"It is a very inefficient way of doing things." Lane said.
He said that often many departments had the same waste and not knowing about it, shipped it separately.
A centralized system, he said, would eliminate the problem and also fulfill federal guidelines.
In the absence of a federal code in the past, individual researchers were disposing wastes themselves, and no log was kept by the biohazards com-
All the committee did, Lane said, was to determine if a researcher possessed the expertise and the equipment to conduct the study. He said that to his knowledge no project
was rejected because of a researcher's inability to dispose of biohazardous wastes.
UNDER THE NEW system proposed for the University, the responsibility for disposing of biohazardous wastes will be delegated to a separate body similar to that in the University. All collected and disposes of all radioactive wastes generated on campus.
Unlike biohazardous wastes, which were never regulated until now, radioactive wastes have been regulated by the nuclear radioactive commission for several years, Lou Milavickas, acting radiation safety officer said.
Milvakas said the problem of biohazardous wastes had been recognized only recently.
"Biohazardous wastes were taken for
granted, but now they're coming under more and more control and more will come in the future. I am sure," he said.
Lane said that even though no laws existed in the past, KU researcher had been very careful about not releasing wastes into the community.
He said he had examined every project that had a potential for generating biohazardous wastes.
"I can say without any doubt in my mind that people are very, very conscientious about not allowing any biohazardous wastes into the environment," he said. "They are experts in their field and recognize the potential danger there is and are very, very careful.
Local woman finds satisfaction as firefighter
By LISA PROCTOR

The search for job security, excitement and a chance to use her education led Lexie Engleman to become Lawrence's first female firefighters.
“This is a dangerous profession,” Engleman said. “When that alarm goes off, it scares me, but I know it's a job that has to be done. I'm providing a service to the community, and I really like that.”
ALTHOUGH ENGLEMAN said she enjoyed working as a waitress at the Alvamar Nautilus Club, a fitness club on RFD 4, she wanted more out of her
"I was working seven days a week and all the holidays," she said. "These jobs didn't offer any benefits. These jobs are really important these days."
At first Engleman tried to use her education and experience to find a teaching job. She has a bachelor's degree in physical education and psychology and has completed coursework in education and has degree in recreation and administration.
Engleman discovered, however, that her education and experience were hindrances to finding another teaching job.
"Every place I interviewed for jobs they told me I was overqualified and they were afraid I'd bore with the job,' she said. "They did not want to pay that I in worst, based on my experience and my level of education."
ENGLEMAN SAW THE firefighting job in the want ads. After taking and passing a written test that contained questions about building structures and ventilation systems, Engleman and her husband, Mark, began to seriously consider making firefighting her career.
She was also required to pass a physical test.
"The women had to take the same test and were graded the same as the men," she said.
The test required her to carry 125 pounds for 100 feet, perform sit-ups and chin-ups, pass a jumping test, a grip test, pass a standard test, a hard test and a body fat percentage test.
Her athletic activity began early. Tennis was the only sport open to girls when she was in high school in Great Bend.
"I always enjoyed sports and being active." she said.
Engleman began her training on June 19
"We had only one week of training. It was very intense," she said. "It was not enough training, but we also had lots of tests. We had to learn and I learned a lot from experience."
extinguishing a fire that was purposely set to test her.
"The scariest part of training was at the training tower outside Lawrence. They set a fire in it and I had to go put it out. The women were right in front of me," she said.
"You learn what's expected of you, and you do it."
One practical experience she had was
Engleman's male co-workers have been very helpful and supportive, she said.
"If I want to learn or know something, all I have to do is ask, they're always glad to help," the said.
"We bring our own lunches and dinners and cook for ourselves. On Sunday morning we fix breakfast together and we all help."
"Chief McSwain told me they weren't being prejudiced, it's a long-standing
THERE IS ONEASK she has that may be considered "woman's work" but Engleman said she had not been assigned it because of her sex.
rule that the last person hired is responsible for cleaning the kitchen," she said.
Engleman's other duties are the same as the male firefighters'. All firefighters are required to take quarterly tests, for example.
"You must do things for yourself," Engleman said. "If you hook your gear up incorrectly they wouldn't let you get hurt, but if they have to tell you about your mistake, you'll get points taken off during testing."
"We have to know every street in Lawrence, and where every hydrant is," she said. "I drive my maps and learn the locations on my days off."
Constant study is required to be a firefighter, Enleman said.
Engleman said her parents and husband are very supportive of her new career.
"I didn't tell my parents at first. My mom heard about it over the radio," she said. "My parents are pleased, though."
She said her career has given her husband Mark, the owner of U.S. Solar Construction, a chance for greater independence in caring of their 5-month-old son, Sam.
ENGLEMAN WORKS three days out of nine, and each shift lasts 24 hours.
"It gives Mark a chance to see what I go through being a housewife," she said. "I think the father-son relationship is helped by the arrangement."
Engleman said the baby occupied most of her leisure time.
As for her professional time, Engleman plans to remain a firefighter.
"I think I can do it as well as anyone else, and the men think so too," she said.
Although she has not been called to a major fire, she is confident she can do her job.
