A new standard developed by ASTM International’s road and paving materials committee ( D04 ) provides guidance on both blast and steel furnace slag product classification. ASTM defines iron and steel slags as the nonmetallic products of the manufacturing of iron and steel. They can be considered products based on the mineralogy of samples that are tested using this standard as a guide. “The…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11129 ###

ASTM International’s water committee ( D19 ) is developing a proposed standard ( WK74011 ) that would aid water treatment facilities in monitoring nitrosamine contamination. Nitrosamines are contaminants commonly found in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products and vegetables. Because nitrosamines have been traced to a potential increase in the risk of cancer, their…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11083 ###
