Editor’s Note

All manuscripts submitted to the Practice Periodical of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Management should be accompanied by a list of four potential reviewers suggested by the author(s). This list should include the complete name, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and a list of at least five keywords that identify the expertise of each reviewer. The Periodical is not obligated to use all or any of the recommended reviewers; however, we feel that this policy will lead to an improved review process. The new manuscripts should be submitted to Journals Department, ASCE, 1801 Alexander Bell Drive, Reston, VA 20191-4400.

We have had several dedicated issues in the past on special topics and we plan to continue this practice. The following topics are planned for future dedicated or special issues in the order listed:

Authors interested in submitting an article for consideration for one of the special issues should contact the Editor at 913-551-7453 or e-mail: [email protected] to submit papers and to confirm deadlines and schedules for special or dedicated issues. Each of the special issues may also contain a few articles that are not related to the topic of the special issue.

In this issue, we have technical articles on performance monitoring of remediation technologies for soils and groundwater contamination, mixing recovered waste fiber reinforced plastic with polyethylene plastic waste, effect of high cadmium loading on performance of free water surface constructed wetlands, simplified approach for rapid estimation of trichloroethylene absorption onto soils, renewable energy generation by full-scale biomass gasification system using agricultural and forestal residues, evaluation of RF radiation sources in the United Arab Emirates, degradation of microcystin-LR through biological sand filters, onsite treatment of septic tank effluent by using a soil adsorption system, and mathematical modeling and simulation of ocean disposal of harbor dredged materials.
