Dioxin emissions from municipal solid waste incinerators are one of the major sources of dioxins and therefore are an exposure source of public concern. There is growing epidemiologic evidence of an increased risk for non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) in the vicinity of some municipal solid waste incinerators with high dioxin emission levels. The purpose of this study was to examine this association on a larger population scale. The study area consisted of four French administrative departments, comprising a total of 2270 block groups. NHL cases that had been diagnosed during the period 1990-1999, and were aged 15 years and over, were considered. Each case was assigned a block group by residential address geocoding. Atmospheric Dispersion Model System software was used to estimate immissions in the surroundings of 13 incinerators which operated in the study area. Then, cumulative ground-level dioxin concentrations were calculated for each block group. Poisson multiple regression models, incorporating

ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 18, 1998) -- Fostering public health and protection of the environment through the review of the long-term management of solid waste in Maryland, Governor Parris N. Glendening today appointed 12 Marylanders to the Solid Waste Management Task Force.. The creation of the task force was prompted by recent national trends and economic forces that have resulted in the export and interstate transport of solid waste for disposal in locations outside of the political boundaries of the jurisdictions where the waste was generated. Many Maryland local governments are now closing county owned landfills and transporting waste out of State for disposal as well as accepting waste from outside of Marylands borders for disposal in privately-owned landfills in Maryland.​ The work of the task force will be of great importance in providing meaningful recommendations and solutions on the management of solid waste in our State, said Governor Glendening. The citizens of Maryland have ...

SWANAs updated Managing Integrated Solid Waste Management Systems addressing the many and varied duties of the municipal solid waste system manager.

Many interventions were sought in the past to address the human health and aquatic life implications associated with poor Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) practices. Majority of such interventions failed to recognise that such human health risks and threats to aquatic life are to a large extent moderated by unique characteristics of different urban and rural spaces where such waste is generated. They failed to employ multiple criteria-based evaluation models that are appropriate in depicting the complex and often interrelated criteria inherently associated with MSWM. This study used the Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) to evaluate several interdependent variables that define human health and aquatic life hazards associated with poor MSWM practices. Specifically, HCA was used to identify relative similarities among, and distances between a sample of 26 Ethiopian cities and towns in terms of MSWM health threats. Results indicated that threats to human health and aquatic life are ...

Bioreactor landfills have become a feasible alternative to the typical â dry tombâ landfill. By recirculating leachate and/or adding additional liquid wastes, bioreactor landfills operate to rapidly degrade and transform organic wastes. The reactions within a bioreactor landfill create elevated temperatures. The intent of this study was to determine the effect of elevated temperature on the degradation of lignocellulose compounds. In order to observe the effects of temperature on lignin, small bioreactors were created in the laboratory. Several experiments were performed by the authors. Solubility of lignin based on temperature and time of thermal exposure were conducted. In addition, degradation studies were conducted based on biological treatment of lignin as well as a combination of biological and thermal treatment. Samples were collected at specified intervals to determine the amount of water soluble lignin (WSL), volatile fatty acids (VFAs), lignin monomers, and/or methane present. Lignin ...

Definitions of Terms Used in Sewage and Sewage Disposal Practice. After several conferences were held to try to unify sewerage and sewage disposal practice terminology in 1926, there remained considerable differences of opinion. In the fall of 1926, definitions in alternate of approximately 70 terms were sent to about 100 sanitary engineers, 35 of whom replied, giving definite expressions of opinion. Definitions of Terms used in Sewerage and Sewage Disposal Practice harmonizes these differences in technical opinions, compiling a wide range of vocabulary into a useful, concise list. This document would be useful to engineers in the field of sewerage and sewage disposal.

If you or your business generates, collects or hauls solid waste - including construction and demolition debris, yard debris, food waste, recyclables or household garbage - there are important rules you need to know about proper recycling and disposal. Knowing which requirements apply to you can help save natural resources and reduce your disposal costs.

There is a growing understanding, at the global level, about the negative impacts that waste can have on the local environment (air, water, land) and human health etc. The increasing complexity, costs, and coordination implied by proper waste management require multi-stakeholder involvement at every stage of the process. Waste management is usually one of the most complex and cost-intensive public services, even when well organized and operated properly. In developing countries, waste management has the highest share in municipalities׳ budgets, spending from 20% to 50% of their available budget on solid waste management. A significant part (up to 80-90%) of the solid waste management budget is used for waste collection. Services typically cover, however, only about 40-70% of all urban solid wastes, with the remainder being uncollected and less than 50% of the population being served.. Population growth, urbanization, and economic development are expected to produce increasing quantities of ...

Generally solid waste includes municipal waste, industrial solid waste and hazardous waste, and the industrial hazardous wastes in this article refers to hazardous products which are produced or discharged during the production or processing of industrial plant and mining enterprises. It is classified as National Hazardous Waste List or recognized as hazardous solid waste. T

As the generation of industrial wastes increases, waste treatment is steadily becoming a serious economic and environmental issue. Existing waste has mainly been treated by landfilling after incineration. A shortage of landfill sites necessitates waste management alternatives other than traditional incineration and landfill. This paper focuses on a cost-benefit analysis that evaluates the economic and environmental performances of five treatment strategies for flammable industrial wastes: incineration, refuse plastic fuel (RPF) boiler, RPF cement furnace, cement furnace after shredding of wastes, and paper incineration after shredding of wastes. For such purposes, our model considered the entire process of each waste treatment, which involves collection, transportation, treatment, recovery, and the disposal of flammable industrial wastes that pose risks to their surroundings. Case studies of each treatment processes are reviewed, and a cost-benefit analysis is performed to evaluate and identify the

That prototype will involve placing modular data centers filled with servers at a water treatment plant or landfill. Water treatment plants are mission critical installations that produce methane (CH4), a greenhouse gas that is 20 times more potent than CO2, as the sewage from our communities are broken down in an anaerobic digestion process (decomposition without oxygen), Belady explained. Landfills produce methane in a similar way as our garbage slowly decomposes underground. The methane that is produced by both approaches must be flared, converting it to CO2 to minimize the impact on the environment.. The methane output will be used in a fuel cell, which in turn will provide electricity for the servers housed in IT PACs (Pre-Assembled Components), Microsofts custom modular data centers, which can house up to 2,000 servers apiece. A small 200 kW prototype data center will offset over two million pounds of CO2 emissions per year, according to Microsoft, which is the equivalent of about 300 ...

The concept of waste recycling has been getting increasing attention in Saudi Arabia in recent years. The country produces around 15 million tons of municipal solid waste each year with an average daily rate of 1.4 kg per person. This rate is projected to double (30 million tons per year) by 2033 with current annual population growth rate of 3.4%. The major ingredients of Saudi Arabian municipal solid waste are food waste (40-51%), paper (12-28%), cardboard (7%), plastics (5-17%), glass (3-5%), wood (2-8%), textile (2-6%), metals (2-8%) etc. depending on the urban activities and population density of studied region.

OPEN WASTE BURNING AS A MAJOR SOURCE OF DIOXIN RELEASES. Donald L. Hassig, Director, Cancer Action. The 1997 US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) report, Evaluation of Emissions from the Open Burning of Household Waste in Barrels, provides a quantification of pollutants released by open waste fires. (Lemieux, 1997) The author indicates that burning the residential waste (paper, plastics, rubber, foam rubber and metal foils) of 1.5 families in barrels can release an amount of dioxins into the environment equal to that released by a municipal solid waste incinerator burning 200 tons per day. In follow-up test burns, the Agency has determined that open waste burning creates and releases dioxins over a considerable range of values due to ...

Heat, gas, and leachate are primary by-products of landfill processes in municipal solid waste landfills. In nuclear waste repository, temperature of the waste also raises due to radioactivity processes. Temperature increase in the repository induces hydro-mechanical processes of its sealing material. Moderate to high temperature is expected to be encountered in the field situation. In this thesis, a study on the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of compacted bentonite-sand mixtures which are among the materials proposed to be used as sealing material for landfills and hazardous waste repository is presented. Mixtures of a calcium-type bentonite, Calcigel, and quartz sand were used in this study. Series of tests including suction and swelling pressure measurement, drying-wetting under unconfined and confined conditions were conducted at a moderately high temperature. Tests at room temperature including basic and physico-chemical characterization, microstructure and fabric studies, and osmotic ...

All members of the chemical group of phthalates are salts of phthalic acid and in the international literature dealing with phthalates, the chemical group seems to have been regarded as phthalic acid diesters only, although, the diesters might be degraded to phthalic acid monoesters and phthalic acid. PDEs are widely used in a range of different products such as in, cardboard, paint, ink, adhesives, perfumes, but mainly as plasticisers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. They are not chemically bound to the products and are therefore able to migrate to the aquatic environment. Biodegradation is considered to be the most significant fate process for phthalate diesters (Staples et al., 1997) and degradation of phthalate diesters to monoesters has been shown to occur in both aerobic (Inman et al., 1984; Shelton et al., 1984) and anaerobic (Ejlertsson et al., 1996) laboratory studies. Together with the diesters also the monoesters and phthalic acid has been found in old landfills with methanogenic ...

Allied Waste Industries, Inc. was a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the north Front Range region, responsible solid waste management has long been a shared goal of the governing agencies within Larimer County. The sister cities of Loveland and Fort Collins collaborated with the County to open a jointly owned landfill (5887 N. Taft Hill Rd) in 1972 to ensure environmental regulations can be met for trash disposal in our region. With a closure date for the Larimer County landfill approaching (2025), these partners plus the neighboring community of Estes Park are once again working together, to evaluate waste management needs and develop guidance plans into the next 50-100 years.. The Coalition was formed in 2015 to address the future of solid waste management in light of the upcoming Larimer County landfill closure. The Coalition includes a Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) made up of elected officials from Fort Collins, Loveland, Estes Park, and Larimer County, and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) made up of staff members from the same entities..

Leachate continues to be generated from landfills at the Auburn Road Landfill Superfund Site in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Impermeable caps on the three landfills at the site inhibit direct infiltration of precipitation; however, high water-table conditions allow groundwater to interact with landfill materials from below, creating leachate and ultimately reducing conditions in downgradient groundwater. Reducing conditions can facilitate arsenic transport by allowing it to stay in solution or by liberating arsenic adsorbed to surfaces and from geologic sources, such as glacial sediments and bedrock. The site occupies a 180-acre parcel of land containing streams, ponds, wetlands, and former gravel pits located in glacial sediment. Four areas, totaling 14 acres, including three landfills and one septage lagoon, were used for waste disposal. The site was closed in 1980 after volatile organic compounds associated with industrial waste dumping were detected. The site was added to the U.S. ...

A lot has been said, written, and demonstrated about the inadequacies in solid waste management and its associated problems. According to a United Nations Conference on Human Settlement report, one third to one-half of solid waste generated within most cities in low- and middle-income countries, of which Ghana is no exception, are not collected. They usually end up as illegal dumps on streets, open spaces, and waste lands (UNCHS 1996).. Despite the importance of adequate solid waste management to the urban environment, the performance of many city authorities in this respect leaves much to be desired. According to Malombe (1993), irregular services rendered to producers of refuse by municipal councils compel them to find ways of disposing of refuse. He observed that the main methods adopted by the producers are burning, composting, or indiscriminate dumping.. This is very pertinent in Ghana where waste management services are largely inefficient and ineffective. It is estimated that about 83% of ...

Anti-personnel mines are among the most dangerous weapons of destruction. In 2003, Belarus acceded to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction (also known as the Ottawa Treaty) and ratified it on March 1, 2004. Project Goals and Objectives: Destruction of stockpiles of approximately 3,400,000 anti-personnel landmines (PFM-1 and PFM-1S series). Intermediate Outcomes: An anti-personnel mine destruction centre was built on the compound of the 2271st Ammunition Base in Rečyca, where they are destroyed by the cold detonation method (destruction with charges in a thick-wall armoured chamber). Solid waste and gases are then processed so that they are made safe for disposal in a municipal solid waste landfill. Approximately 2,200,000 mines had been destroyed by February 2016. ...

Two researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Curtis Travis and Sheri Hester, have just published a new study of chemical contamination of planet Earth and have confirmed what many people already knew: the entire surface is polluted. What separates Travis and Hester from other U.S. government researchers before them is their stated belief that all this pollution is taking its toll on human health: We maintain that ambient [normal, everyday] levels of pollution have risen to the point where human health is being affected on a global scale. Furthermore, they conclude that planet-wide contamination seems certain to increase because U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not even try to prevent the spread of low levels of chemicals through air, water, and soil. EPAs regulatory programs have other goals. EPAs regulatory programs are aimed at protecting the most-exposed individual near any given facility.

Easily track the collection schedule using the Recycle Coach app or the waste collection calendar.. During weeks when leaf and yard waste is not collected, residents should not set their leaf bags to the curb - they will not be collected with regular garbage pickup. Leaf bags should be in paper bags or reusable containers. Leaf and yard waste will not be picked up if its in plastic bags.. This past year, weve asked Cornwallites to be more careful about their waste. The landfill will be full in a little over a decade, said Dave Kuhn, Waste Management Supervisor. We can no longer accept leaf and yard waste in the landfill. This is a reusable material and it needs to be separated.. Leaf and yard waste decomposes at the landfill site (separate from the tipping face, where garbage is dumped). After a year, it turns into rich compost. Residents can pick up the compost for free and use it in their home gardens.. If you havent tried grasscycling yet, this is the year to start, encouraged Kuhn. ...

The term solid waste means materials such as: household garbage, food wastes, yard wastes, and demolition or construction debris. It also includes discarded items like household appliances, furniture, scrap metal, machinery, car parts and abandoned or junk vehicles.. Household solid waste is one of the most difficult sources of solid waste to manage because of its diverse range of composite materials. A substantial portion is made up of garbage, a term for the waste matter that arises from the preparation, and consumption of food and consists of waste food, vegetable peelings and other organic matter. Other components of household solid waste include plastics, paper, glass, textiles, cellophane, metals and some hazardous waste from household products such as paint, garden pesticides, pharmaceuticals, fluorescent tubes, personal care products, batteries containing heavy metals and discarded wood treated with dangerous substances such as anti-fungal and anti-termite chemicals..

In conducting its study, VDACS shall (i) assess the total annual statewide rate of preventable food waste received by landfills within the Commonwealth; (ii) identify the industry sectors within the Commonwealth that contribute to preventable food waste, and determine their rate of contribution to such waste; (iii) identify alternative uses of food that is wasted; and (iv) recommend policies to reduce the annual rate of preventable food waste in the Commonwealth with data-driven reduction targets and timelines, including food donation requirements for certain food waste from grocery stores and restaurants. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a general appropriation

Food waste is a global problem, and in the United States alone, up to 40% of food is never eaten. That translates to approximately $218 billion worth of food that gets thrown away each year!. In 2017, Compass Group North America committed to reduce food waste 25 percent by the year 2020 as part of its mission to create a positive impact for people, the planet, and the food system. As part of the Compass family, Levy is also committed to helping reduce food waste and is excited to participate in Stop Food Waste Day™, an international day of action to fight food waste on April 27th.. In addition to pledging to help make every day Stop Food Waste Day, Levy locations and partners are already doing their part to fight food waste by donating food, recycling at locations, and hosting Zero Waste events - an event that follows sustainable practices to send the least amount of waste possible to landfills.. At Bankers Life Fieldhouse, our Levy team and the local staff have produced two Zero Waste events ...

In this study, we showed signs of increased upper airway inflammation and respiratory symptoms in waste collectors compared with controls. The inflammation was shown at the end of the working week by higher concentrations of total cells and IL8 before and after the shift, and higher cross shift cell counts in NAL fluid. No differences between waste collectors and controls were found for IL6, TNFα, and IL1β in NAL fluid. The main types of cells found in the NAL fluid were neutrophils and epithelial cells, whereas eosinophils were only occasionally found, which is indicative for a non-immune inflammation mediated by neutrophils as described previously in the waste industry.5,6 This was furthermore supported by the observed increased levels of IL8, a strong chemoattractant of neutrophils, and by the finding that IgE sensitisation against fungi was rarely found in either waste collectors and controls. Serum IgG antibody titres against fungi and actinomycetes were the same for waste collectors and ...

A garbage incineration plant in Osaka was selected for the experiments. It has two garbage incinerations each of which has a daily incineration capacity of 300 tons, and uses the steam from the incineration (34 tons per hour) for its in-house power generation facilities that has an output of 3,000 kW. In the experiments, part of the heat from incineration will be kept in a special storage medium, and subsequently will be transported to office buildings. In addition, the research team will use about 5.5 tons of residual team for low-temperature power generation called binary cycle with the help of a special medium that boils at such a low temperature of 80 degrees centigrade. Kawasaki Heavy will work on the management of the whole project, and Osaka Gas will take charge of the experiments for the transportation of heat. The experiments are scheduled to end by March 2014. The research results will be utilized for the promotion of heat from garbage incineration for the regional energy requirements. ...

ABSTRACTThe annual variations of wet deposition of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in atmosphere were measured at two sites (A and B) near two municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) in southern Taiwan. Results showed that particle scavenging dominates in the wet deposition processes for the removal of PCDD/Fs from the atmosphere, the highest value was observed at the highest chlorinated congener. The ambient temperature and the amount of precipitation played an important role in the variation of PCDD/F deposition fluxes. It was found that temperature was inversely associated with the existence of particulate PCDD/Fs, indicating PCDD/Fs are scavenged most efficiently in cold weather. PCDD/F wet deposition fluxes in rainy seasons (from June to August) were significantly higher than those in dry seasons (from December to February), revealing a positive relationship between wet deposition flux and monthly rainfall. Additionally, the annual total (dry + wet) deposition

The latest scheme began in August 2011 and involves a partnership approach between Sustainability and Site Services. This new food waste collection system offers all University staff the opportunity to participate in food waste composting collections at work. Over 200 collection points have now been established across the University. Each point has a food waste caddy that is collected by a member of Site Services. To date this has diverted almost 20 tonnes of food waste from landfill, the equivalent of a quarter of a million banana skins.. However, there are other, less obvious, benefits to the scheme, as Site Services Manager Liz Lynch explains: The use of caddies means that fears about composting causing smelly bins have been unfounded. Prompt collection of the caddies makes it easier to control pests and rodents, as there is no longer rotting food waste hanging around in bins - in the past fruit flies and midges attracted to wet tea bags have caused us a problem.. In early 2011, ...

Category: Heavy metals and base cations. Effects of acute inhalation exposure to cadmium consist mainly of effects on the lung, such as pulmonary irritation. Chronic effects via inhalation can cause a build-up of cadmium in the kidneys that can lead to kidney disease. Emissions have declined by 84% since 1990. The main sources are residential sector and industrial use of wood and other biomass fuels, which contributed 52% of emissions in 2018. Historically non-ferrous metal manufacture and municipal solid waste incineration were very significant sources. Emissions from non-ferrous metal activities have declined across the time-series, primarily due to the closure of the UKs only primary lead-zinc smelting plant in 2003 and only secondary copper refinery in 1999. Improved controls at Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) incinerators played an important role in emission reductions from 1993 to 1996, and the contribution from the burning of MSW have decreased from 39% of total UK cadmium emissions in 1990 ...

SunPower announces plans with Baltimore County, Maryland to cover two closed landfills with solar panels. These projects are expected to generate approximately 30 MW of clean energy, equivalent to the power used by one third of the Countys municipal buildings including government facilities. Electricity savings from solar can help municipalities invest more money into our schools, parks and community centers. We applaud Baltimore County for transforming otherwise under-utilized land into productive solar parks, enabling them to achieve their ambitious sustainability goals while significantly improving the Countys budget, said Eric Potts, Executive Vice President for Commercial Direct at SunPower. The projects are the first large-scale solar energy projects in Baltimore Countys history and mark yet another milestone for the County to address climate change. Under the PPAs, the County pays $0 upfront while SunPower and its financiers cover the cost of the arrays. Over the next 25 years, the ...

She said that 95 of barangays have already been visited by ...

Sunday, October 30, 2005 A protest against a proposed nuclear waste dump is continuing this week in Australias Northern Territory. The traditional owners of the site in the Arrernte Nation say they will continue to protest against the facility near the Stuart Highway about 20 kilometres north of Alice Springs. The Federal Government wants an operating licence for a new reactor in Sydney, to replace the ageing Lucas Heights facility. One of the key conditions for the operating licence of a new reactor is the establishment of a viable waste management plan. In July the federal government announced a short list of three locations in the Northern Territory as potential sites for a radioactive waste dump. The Government wants a facility to store and manage low and intermediate level radioactive waste resulting from the medical, industrial and research use of radioactive materials by Commonwealth agencies. Traditional owners of Athenge Alhere - an estate group of the Arrernte Nation - have voiced ...

The chief Minister said that the government was an executing agency but the citizens have the responsibility to demonstrate civic sense and keep their homes, compounds, mohallas, vicinity and the city at large neat and clean by disposing off the trash wrapped in paper bags into the dustbin and also monitor the sweeping of streets, lifting of trash and garbage work being done by the DMCs and Solid waste management. In case of failure of the concerned DMCs and solid waste management complaints may be lodged in their offices. I am also establishing a separate desk in CM House Complaint Cell where complaints regarding non-sweeping and lifting of trash would be registered ...

Many common products that we use in our daily lives contain potentially hazardous materials and require special care when disposed of. It is illegal to dispose of hazardous waste in the garbage, down storm drains, or onto the ground. Chemicals in illegally disposed hazardous waste can be released into the environment and contaminate our air, water, and possibly the food we eat. And by throwing hazardous waste in the garbage, you can cause additional hazards to your garbage handler.. Regulations to protect public health and the environment have been changing. This is because we now know that some common items that have traditionally been thrown in your households or small business trash cannot be safely disposed in landfills. These common items are referred to as hazardous waste, and some of them as universal waste (u-waste). As of February 9, 2006, all u-waste items are banned from the trash. For additional information on u-waste, please check the Department of Toxics Substances Control ...

When food is wasted, other resources are wasted as well: water, energy, time, manpower, land, fertilizer, fuel and packaging, as well as money put into growing, preparing, storing, transporting, and cooking the food. A recent study in the UK calculated that hotels throw away over 20% of the the food they purchase, over half of which is avoidable. For every £1 of food costs thrown in the bin, total costs could be £1.5 to £2 when accounting for lost labour, lost energy, and waste collection costs.. Some hotels cut food waste by altering their dining services, choosing à la carte menus over buffets (buffets have a high propensity for food wastage especially in hot climates). Others properties prefer to give away unused food.. Reducing food waste helps you stop wasting money and other resources. Food waste solutions can payback in less than a year and cut avoidable food waste costs by up 60%..

For the respect of our environment, the basic 3Rs rule (reduce, reuse, recycle) should prevail as a prevention instead of curing. Today treatment of hazardous waste includes biological treatment, chemical oxidation and reduction, neutralisation, stabilisation, incineration and energy recovery prior to landfill.. The role that combustion plays in hazardous waste management has changed dramatically over the past two decades. The recognition that land disposal of hazardous waste could present long-term pollution problems and the development of low emission incinerators prompted combustion to become the preferred method of waste management.. The increased use of incinerators to dispose of hazardous waste raised concerns about the proper role of combustion in waste management, as well as the safety of combustion. If conducted properly, the thermal processing of waste has several striking advantages.. First, it is a process that substantially and permanently reduces the toxicity and volume of ...

In this study, we examined 31 samples of varying chemical composition, including samples of soils from gasworks, coke production sites, and sites where wood preservatives were heavily used; ash and soot from municipal solid waste incinerators; antiskid sand; and dust from areas with heavy road traffic. The samples were comprehensively chemically characterized, especially their polycyclic aromatic compound contents, using gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, whereas their biological effects were assessed using dehydrogenase activity, root growth (Hordeum vulgare), reproduction of springtails (Folsomia candida), algal growth (Desmodesmus subspicatus), germinability (Sinapis alba), Vibrio fischeri, DR-CALUX, and Ames Salmonella assays. The number of compounds detected in the samples ranged from 123 to 527. Using the multivariate regression technique of partial-least-squares projections to latent structures, it was possible to find individual compounds that exhibited strong ...

Dumping wastes generated from the oil industry to the local waste disposal facilities remains the most common means of oil waste management. In industrial landfills, the most serious ecological problem is the contamination of soil and local groundwater by landfill leachate. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent a hazardous group of harmful chemical compounds that threaten human and ecosystem health. This study focuses on a PAH-contaminated soil from a landfill site in New South Wales, Australia. Soil was exposed to two different bioremediation treatments, natural attenuation and biostimulation using pea straw. The bacterial community composition and diversity of the PAH-contaminated soil were also examined using high throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing. The results revealed that PAHs were degraded naturally by indigenous microorganisms; however, the addition of plant residues led to enhanced degradation (66.6%) at the beginning of the treatment, although in all treatments a ...

A garbage disposal chews up food scraps that are fed down the drain with a heavy flow of water. The disposal, mounted to the underside of the sink drain, has an electric motor that is either hardwired or plugged into a 120-volt box or receptacle, usually located at the back of the sink cabinet.. Inside the garbage disposal in what is called the grinding chamber, shredding blades break down the food, and then an impeller arm and plate force the particles and liquid down the drain. Dishwasher drain water also runs through the garbage disposal so that any large particles are ground up before they reach the drainpipe.. Two types of garbage disposal are commonly available: the continuous- feed type, activated by a switch as you run the water, and the batch-feed type, activated by turning a stopper after loading the disposal with garbage. ...

The aim of this work was preparation and investigation of the polymeric composites from naturally occurring materials with the properties similar to those of conventional polymer composites and which can degrade to harmless substances after use. The other target of this work was to estimate the applicability of industrial waste materials as fillers in the polymeric composites and thus to offer a potential exploitation of biodegradable waste materials as an alternative to disposal. In this study, the polymeric composites were prepared by photopolymerization of glycerol diglycidyl ether and different industrial waste materials (rapeseed cake, phosphogypsum and horn meal) using a mixture of triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonates as photoinitiator. The effect of the amount and nature of the industrial waste materials on the kinetics of photopolymerization, values of contact angle and surface free energy, mechanical, thermal, rheological properties, swelling in water and biodegradability of the ...

For recycling and disposal routes, the distances will vary, depending on each national context [SBA 2012]. Transport distances for different waste types may also vary according to the number of treatment sites. For example, hazardous waste may have the longest transport distance, owing to the limited number of sites, whereas inert waste may have the shortest (http://www.sepa.org.uk/waste/waste_infrastructure_maps.aspx or http://www.landfill-site.com/html/how_many_landfills.php). National waste management plans or waste infrastructure maps may help in identifying the locations of waste management sites.Data may be currently available for transport of waste between the demolition site and sorting plant: e.g. for the French context see the report from [ADEME 2003]. For example, current practice in generic databases or EPD programmes may take into account:- between 10 and 30 km for inert and non-hazardous wastes, as well as for incineration with energy recovery;- around 100 km for hazardous ...

ABOLFAZLI, F; FORGHANI, A y NOROUZI, M. Effects of phosphorus and organic fertilizers on phosphorus fractions in submerged soil. J. Soil Sci. Plant Nutr. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.2, pp.349-362. ISSN 0718-9516. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-95162012000200014..

Glycerol which is a byproduct of biodiesel production is considered as a potential feedstock for syngas production with the increase of biodiesel demand. The objective of this study is to characterize the glycerol gasification under the microwave plasma torch with oxygen and steam supply conditions. Experiments were conducted with an O2/fuel ratio of 0-1.2, a steam/fuel ratio of 0-2.4, and a microwave power of 1-1.8 kW. From the result, it was shown that the gasification efficiency and syngas heating value increased with supplied microwave power while the increase of oxygen and steam led to lower gasification performance. To achieve high carbon conversion and cold gas efficiency in the microwave plasma gasification of glycerol, O2/fuel ratio should be kept at 0-0.4. The gasification performance of glycerol atomizing toward plasma flame showed better performance than other feeding methods. In conclusion, these results indicated that the fuel droplet size and the mixing effect and retention time ...

Forecasting household waste generation using traditional methods is particularly challenging due to its high variability and uncertainty. Unlike studies that forecast waste generation at municipal or country levels, household data can present rapid short-term variations and highly non-linear dynamics. The aim of this paper is to investigate the advantages of using a state-of-the-art deep learning approach compared to traditional forecasting methods. We apply a multi-site Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network, to forecast waste generation rates from households using a long-term data base. The model is applied to historical data of weekly waste weights from households in the municipality of Herning, Denmark, in the period between 2011 and 2018. Results show that using a multi-site approach, instead of an individual fit for each household, can improve forecasting performance of the LSTM model by 28% on average, and that the LSTM approaches can effectively improve the results by 85% on ...

This research seeks to provide a characterization of catalytic gasification reaction mechanisms for different polymers and catalyst types. While catalytic gasification of waste polymers has significance in a variety of engineering applications, it is of particular relevance to in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) and waste management in space exploration beyond low earth orbit (LEO).. NASA Glenn Research Center seeks solutions to the logistical costs of transporting waste back to Earth as well as the need for propellant generation technologies that can be operated on the lunar surface, an asteroid, or on the International Space Station. Low-to-mid temperature catalytic gasification presents a potential solution to both of these challenges. The carbon content of the plastics, paper, and nylon often disposed of on the ISS can serve as the raw material for the generation of fuel (methane). Long missions beyond LEO will not be possible without technologies that can reduce the dependence on logistic ...

A method and apparatus for the collection and treatment of contaminated medical waste, including solid and non-solid, potentially infectious materials, permits the collection of such medical waste at the point and at the time of its generation in a solid container. The contained medical waste can be subsequently transported for pulverization, disinfection and safe disposal. A separate portable processing chamber to treat medical waste, can be used at locations remote from its power unit for the collection of medical waste and then moved to the location of the power unit to drive the waste-treatment apparatus within the chamber. In addition, a medical waste collection station can provide single and multiple containers, which may be sequentially used, for the collection of medical waste and whose use may be combined with a processing chamber to treat collected medical waste before its disposal.

Biogas and biofertilizer production from anaerobic digestion of local organic solid waste in Algeria is an attractive choice for greener and cleaner environment. In this paper, the study focused on the effect of co-digestion of municipal solid organic wastes (MSW) and camel dung (CD) for the quality production of biogas (methane) and bio fertilizer products. The concentration of methane production is the preeminent aim of this work. The experiment was set by feedstocks preparation where organic waste was mixed with tap water at 1:1 ratio and it allowed to digest at temperature of 40 °C. The operating hydraulic retention time (HRT) was set at 35 days. Physicochemical properties of feedstocks and constituent elements of the digestate were determined by American Public Health Association methods. The experimental study indicated that underdefined operational conditions such as constant organic loading rate (OLR) of 0.6 kg per day, hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 35 days and temperature of 40C ...

On Wednesday morning we ate breakfast in our room. Then we ordered a Metro cab to take us to my sisters home, had lunch at my wifes sisters home and then on to the cemetery in North Nazimabad. We saw lots of heaps of stinking trash in several parts of the city along the roadside on our way. It seemed as though the Karachi garbage collectors were on strike, but my impressions proved to be incorrect, as I was told that this was normal in several parts of Karachi. The government owned and operated garbage collection systems pick up less than 50% of the solid waste generated and the remaining uncollected garbage rots on the streets, posing serious health risks for the growing population. The massive piles of garbage also plug up the already inadequate storm water drains resulting in serious flooding in the monsoon months of July and August every year. None of the major cities in Pakistan have an adequate solid waste management system, though Karachi city government has reportedly contracted with ...

A major problem throughout the world, food waste is an issue that must be addressed not only by all actors in the agri-food chain but also without a silo mentality. To examine this problem, this article considers the interfaces between the stages of the agri-food chain, by emphasizing the interconnectivity of the different links in the chain, and focusing on the interface between retail distribution and consumption. We show that food waste is socially produced through the interactions and practices of the different actors within food systems. The study presented in this article results from a collaboration research project with two organizations involved in the food waste debate. The data analyzed are derived from an online survey of 1026 Quebec consumers and from 14 semi-directed interviews with retail distribution merchants in the Montreal area, Canada. By identifying, describing and analyzing the consumption and commercial and logistical management practices that contribute to food waste, our
