Abstract:The use of sulfur in highway paving mixtures has introduced questions regarding the pollutants generated, their environmental impact and the safety aspects associated with mix preparation and placement. This report presents the Field Evaluation Procedures based on the results of a more detailed investigation in which these factors were assessed. The evaluation procedures deal with the safety and environmental aspects of storage and handling, formulation, construction, operation and maintenance of highway pavements containing sulfur, including the possible generation of noxious and obnoxious fumes, dust and gases. This report discusses methods and equipment for monitoring potential emissions and pollutants and recommends safety practices for the handling of sulfur and sulfur modified asphalt mixtures and pavements. The final report was prepared in three volumes of which the Field Evaluation Procedures is Volume II. The other two volumes are: Volume I - Evaluation of Environmental and Safety Hazards and Volume III -Annotated Bibliography.
