New Zealand has adopted a new classification system for hazardous substances under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996 (HSNO). This new system is the Globally Harmonised System (GHS). In effect, there is no change to the system used under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA).
We propose an integrated system classification of OHS hazards in mining based on our review of 44 studies retrieved using PRISMA.
Identifying contaminants in agricultural plant food products (APFPs) is a major problem. In this study, we developed a single-step extraction and integrated non-target data acquisition (INDA) workflow for increasing hazardous substances coverage. D-optimal experimental designs were applied to optimi …

to CERCLA hazardous substances from mining and mineral processing sites that were operational in 2009 (the most current available data at the time the evaluation took place). EPA is using these 2009 Current sites as a proxy for current and future mining and mineral processing sites that may be subject to CERCLA 108(b) regulatory requirements.
The Hazardous Substances Act 15 of 1973 intends: to provide for the control of substances which may cause injury or ill-health to or death of human beings by reason of their toxic, corrosive, irritant, strongly sensitizing or flammable nature or the generation of pressure thereby in certain circumstances, and for the control of certain electronic products;
Mining operations commonly use hazardous chemicals, and sometimes naturally toxic substances are released into the environment during mining and the disposal of its waste materials. For example, gold mining in the Amazon Basin of South America results in the release of 90 – 120 tons of mercury into rivers every year.
