Abstract:

One of the globally pertinent issues is to manage the wastes generated in an organized manner. Mitigating solid waste generation is important alongside efficient management of the generated wastes is paramount. Thus, recycling has emerged as a viable alternative. Solid Waste Management comprises steps like collection, transportation, and disposal, and in an efficient waste management process, it is essential to monitor and design each process scientifically. Disposal in landfills is a general practice however; owing to inefficient segregation before disposal the wastes are highly toxic with the potential to affect the hygiene of the earth. It is observed that half of the wastes disposed of are toxic and this underpins the importance of segregation before disposing of. Also, identification of appropriate sites for landfill development is important and it is preferred to build them in areas that are sparsely populated.

Abstract:

Purpose: The study determined the methods of solid waste disposal in the municipality, in relation with awareness and compliance with dumping on approved locations. Methodology: The study adopted simple and purposive sampling techniques to select households and respondents. The target respondents for the study were, planning and Environmental offices, chiefs and opinion leaders, and heads of households. Data were analyzed using a regression model to determine the influencing factors of the disposal options, whiles also evaluating compliance with the disposal on approved lands. Findings: The research found out that; open dumping in the neighborhood, (83.33%), was the main disposal option of the municipality, also, there was a significant relationship between; awareness of approved dumping sites and compliance with dumping on approved sites, distance to the waste disposal sites affected the disposal on approved sites, and lack of knowledge on by-laws on waste management also affected the choice of disposal option. The research concluded that open dumping of waste is mainly driven by low awareness of approved disposal sites and the absence of recycling alternatives. The unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended the need for the provision of more communal containers and waste bins by government and sector players on waste management in the district; intensive education on bye-laws, emphasizing on the significance of dumping waste on approved sites is a welcoming intervention.

Abstract:

The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) appears to be one of the major ecological problems at present. Selecting sites for the disposal of municipal solid wastes or waste utilization facilities is one of the most contentious aspects of waste management. The present study aimed to develop the methodology to assess the natural protection of the geological environment from contamination upon the implementation of large ecological projects due to the allocation of MSW utilization facilities. The case of the Central Federal District of Russia (CFD) is taken as an example. The suitability of territories for municipal solid waste disposal is assessed according to the presence of weakly permeable deposits in the geological cross-section and their occurrence mode. A “map of engineering geological zoning CFD by the conditions of allocation MSW disposal sites and utilization facilities” has been compiled to a scale 1:2500000. The map gives a general indication of the suitability of the planned sites for waste disposal within the regarded region and showed that, for the bulk of territory, the allocation of MSW disposal and management facilities requires undertaking additional measures for the geoenvironmental protection from contamination.

Abstract:

RESUMO A recuperação ambiental de lixões, aterros fechados e/ou abandonados constitui-se em problemática relevante a nível nacional e mundial, considerando que ainda cerca de 40% dos resíduos sólidos urbanos são destinados inadequadamente no mundo. A fitorremediação é uma alternativa promissora para aplicação em tais áreas, em razão dos baixos custos envolvidos, da facilidade de implantação, da boa aceitação pública, dos aspectos paisagísticos e do fato de ser uma técnica in situ não invasiva. O presente artigo avaliou a aplicação da fitorremediação a áreas contaminadas por resíduos sólidos urbanos, abordando técnicas para a remediação de solos contaminados, a implantação de coberturas de evapotranspiração, a construção de barreiras (fito)hidráulicas e a implantação de sistemas de tratamento de lixiviados (wetlands). Considerou-se que os principais poluentes de interesse nesses locais são a matéria orgânica, o amônio e baixas concentrações de metais pesados, os quais podem passar pelos processos de fitodegradação, fitoextração, fitoestabilização, rizodegradação e rizofiltração. Assim, sugere-se que: sejam adotadas espécies freatófitas para a construção de barreiras hidráulicas ao redor de lixões; sejam plantadas, nas superfícies de aterros e lixões, espécies vegetais que promovam a fitoextração e/ou fitoestabilização de metais e amônio, e a fitodegradação de compostos orgânicos; e que sejam implantadas coberturas de evapotranspiração em lixões e aterros, contribuindo para a redução na produção de lixiviados. Finalmente, recomenda-se que lixões abandonados sejam objeto de pesquisa de instituições educativas brasileiras, buscando desenvolver técnicas de fitorremediação que permitam a reabilitação ambiental e o uso seguro dessas áreas.

Abstract:

Dumpsite are often most neglected public infrastructure in all our cities today. Largely because it entails least development and operation cost required among all the types of solid waste disposal and thus it is the most prevalent type of disposal facility also in most countries today. With time as these landfill sites have grown in size and their environmental implications the closing and upgradation has emerged as an essential step in reducing serious public health impacts. Landfills by definition are sited designated for dumping rubbish, garbage, or other sorts of non-reducible solid waste. With the increasing amount of waste from our homes. offices, hospitals, markets and schools it is high time that this issue of waste dumping is handled in a scientific manner. However, despite many attempts to manage our wastes most communities and cities leave the landfill sites unattended which causes severe land pollution, degradation of ground water and an uncontrolled built up of all sorts of solid waste material. Since most of these wastes are non-biodegradable they heap in landfills and stay there for years. The scenario gets even worse when these landfill sites are used beyond their prescribed capacity causing unbearable stench and serious health risks which can be gastrointestinal, dermatological, respiratory and even genetic in nature.

Abstract:

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease that is caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum and transmitted to humans and other mammals through the bites of infected female sandflies. VL has been prevalent in Minas Gerais, Brazil, since the 1940s. As the vector completes its reproductive cycle in the soil with organic matter, the association between the occurrence of VL and unimproved solid waste disposal sites has been investigated. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the relationship of waste disposal conditions, inadequacies in disposal, and waste collection with the rates of VL, using statistical regression models. A case-control study was conducted to elucidate the relationship between VL and waste management; sick individuals (cases) were compared to healthy individuals (control), to determine the cause, by constructing a multiple regression model to analyze data through a stepwise method. In Minas Gerais, according to the reports of the government in 2017, 60.1% of the urban population has access to an adequate final disposal system for urban solid waste, with an increase of 2.3% compared to the size of the disposal system in 2016. Thus, almost 40% of the population is forced to use poor or unimproved waste disposal sites. The results confirmed the direct relationship between VL and the unimproved disposal of solid waste in the municipalities (waste coverage collection: p = 0.004; waste found in the streets: p = 9.69 × 10–13). These rates also indicated that the proper management of wastes can help to combat VL by considerably reducing the breeding sites of sandflies, curbing adverse health effects, and improving the health of the population.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the novel Covid-19 pandemic currently ravaging the world as a global mishap due to its wide-spreading across different nations. As the number of confirmed cases continues to increase daily, there will be a great need for the delivery of pharmaceutical palliatives to developing nations for them to manage the situation. Most pharmaceutical supplies used in many developing countries such as test kits and protective suits are a complex mixture of toxic and non-degradable compounds that are improperly disposed into open dump sites. The increase in Covid-19 cases and strategic attention to grapple will lead to multiple waste generation problems, thereby posing another health risk if not properly handled and disposed. In this review, we have highlighted the composition, categories, and hazards associated with pharmaceutical wastes and also appraised the current disposal practices and recommended some appropriate disposal methods of these associated wastes Keywords: Pharmaceutical wastes, Hazardous materials, Covid-19, Health risk, Waste handling

Abstract:

Municipal solid waste management is a problem in most developing countries of the world. This is because of its nature, quantity generated, cost of transportation and the selection of final storage sites, which together presents a huge challenge for most municipalities. Improper solid waste disposal has serious environmental consequences which ultimately affects human health. The most common problems associated with improper selection and management of final waste disposal sites for solid waste include disease transmission, fire hazards, odour nuisance, air and water pollution, aesthetic nuisance. Economic cost arising from transportation due to long distances of travel to deposit solid waste also discourage the use of waste disposal sites. Municipal solid waste management is considered one of the most serious environmental and social problems faced by municipal authorities in developing countries.. This work considered the selection of a suitable site for the disposal of municipal solid waste generated within the Wa Municipality of the Upper West Region of Ghana, using Multi-Criteria Evaluation technique in G.I.S. To determine the most suitable waste disposal sites in the municipality, the study integrated environmental and socio-economic criteria including proximity to road networks, distance to residential and important built-up areas, water bodies to select the most optimal location for waste disposal. The results showed a total of three (3) proposed suitable sites, out of which a site with reasonably optimal distance as well as easily accessible to roads was preferred as the most suitable site for the municipal solid waste disposal (landfill) in the Wa Municipality.

Abstract:

This work aimed to estimate the annual methane production from the municipal solid waste disposal sites in Pakistan. In this study, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) default methodology was used to estimate theoretical methane formation potential of the waste disposal sites in major cities of Pakistan. The estimates of this study are based on the last population census conducted in the year 2017 and latest available data regarding the waste generation and management practices in the cities considered in the study. Results showed that 31.18 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) is generated annually. The top 10 major populated cities in Pakistan (with 20% share in country’s population) contributing 31% share in the total quantity of MSW generated in overall country. On average 50–60% of the MSW generated is collected and openly dumped at the designated waste disposal sites. After analyzing the data, we estimate that annually 12.8 MtCO2-eq of methane is emitted from the waste disposal sites in major cities considered in this study. The methane produced from the waste disposal sites can be sustainably utilized as a source of energy through transforming MSW disposal sites (open dumps) to sanitary landfills with methane capturing and utilization facilities. In the present scenario of waste management and methane formation potential, sanitary landfills would generate 62.35 MWh of electric power if 25% of the methane was recovered and utilized in power generation.

Radioactive waste disposal is one of the most sensitive environmental problems. As the arriving of decommissioning of early period nuclear facilities in China, large amounts of very low-level radioactive waste will be produced inevitably. The domestic and abroad definitions about very low-level radioactive waste and its disposal were introduced, and then siting principles of near surface disposal of very low-level radioactive waste were discussed. The near surface disposal sites’ natural barriers were analyzed from the crustal structure and the radionuclide adsorption characteristics of natural barriers. The near surface disposal sites’ engineering barriers were analyzed from the repository design and the repository barrier materials selection. Finally, the improving direction of very low-level radioactive waste disposal was proposed, which would promote the study of very low-level radioactive waste disposal in China.

Abstract:

Developing country municipal solid waste management is complex, managed by multiple institutions, prone to socio-political disruptions and often requires frequent and rapid estimates of good functioning. Estimating the quantity, composition and status of municipal solid waste found at unauthorized dump sites helps in diagnosis and in improving solid waste management system. The objective of this study was to find occurrences of unauthorized dump sites and to determine quantity, area, height of dumps, waste density and waste composition at these sites. A total of 452 locations were identified and quantification of solid wastes was carried out at 268 locations by determining waste spread area, measuring dump height and density by multiple techniques. Mixed dumped wastes at site was physically segregated into twelve waste categories (organic fraction, plastic, construction debris, paper, cloth, glass, leather, metal, rubber, biomedical waste, burnt waste and industrial wastes). It was estimated about 213310 Mg of wastes were dumped in 452 unauthorized dump sites. The composition of waste dumped in unauthorized sites have 41.3% of construction debris followed by 28.9% of organic waste and other fractions constituted the remaining. The waste composition at dump site suggests less efficient recycling systems and the possible direction for the system improvements.

Abstract:

Sustainable waste management, particularly in industrial areas, is one of the major challenges of developing countries. Among the important issues in the overall process of industrial wastes management is the necessity of suitable site selection for waste disposal. Considering the effects that the disposal sites exert on their surrounding ecosystem and environment, these sites should be located in places with the minimum destructive effects and the lowest environmental impacts. The aim of this research is to outline important criteria for industrial zone waste disposal site selection and to select optimal and proper disposal sites in the Salafchegan special economic zone. This region, as one of the most important industrial areas and closest to the country’s political–economic center, enjoys a privileged and unique position for producing, exporting, and transiting goods and products. There are various parameters involved in the optimal selection of suitable industrial waste disposal sites. In this case study, issues such as the depth of groundwater, distance from surface- and groundwater, access routes, residential areas, industries, power transmission lines, flood-proneness, faults, slope, and distance from gardens and agricultural lands were taken into account. Following selection and preparation of the maps related to the influential parameters, assigning weights was done through the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and using expert comments. At this stage, the maps and weights related to them were introduced into an index overlay model to obtain new maps from combining the influential parameters. Thereafter, the areas with the first and second priorities were selected and out of each one, four sites were suggested for disposing of industrial wastes. The sites with the first and second priorities were specified as A1, A2, A3, and A4 and B1, B2, B3, and B4, respectively. The area, groundwater depth, distance from residential areas, distance from the Salafchegan special economic zone, the direction of the predominant wind, and the land use of the selected sites were also investigated.

Abstract:

Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State have constantly witnessed Rapid City growth and increased urbanization due to persistence rural-urban migration and the quest for human to meet their needs and wants. This has increased solid waste generation and unregulated dumping of solid wastes in unapproved sites. This prompted the need for this study which is aimed at mapping the suitability of solid waste sites in the study area with the objective of identifying the spatial locations and development of a database of suitability or otherwise of solid waste disposal sites. Ground survey and Geospatial techniques were utilized for data acquisition, manipulation and processing. Garmin 78csx GNSS receiver was used in observing the coordinates of ground positions of all solid waste disposal sites in the study area, the obtain coordinates were charted on the Google earth imagery (2022) and Open Street Map (OSM) (2022) to ensure the positions falls within the shape-file of the study area, On-Screen vectorization was perform using the point, line and polygon spatial tools in the QGIS 3.22 bialowieza software environment to determine the position and extent of solid waste sites under study. Proximity analysis was performed in QGIS environment for buffer of 200m, 500m and 1km to ascertain the suitability of solid waste collection centers and dumpsites base on global standard and proximity maps were produced. A total of (114) solid waste disposal sites were mapped, with (27) legal and (73) illegal collection points and (2) suitable and (12) unsuitable dumpsites respectively. The study also revealed that Elelenwo community in ward 6 has the highest (12) whereas Egbelu Ozodo community in ward 16 has the lowest (1) number of collection sites in the study area. Immediate review and enforcement of solid waste disposal and management laws is needed to forestall likely environmental hazards resulting from indiscriminate dumping of refuse in the study area.

Abstract:

Organic wastes are generated from many sources’ compiles, solid waste, food, kitchens wastes, etc. Disposal of solid waste is stinging and widespread problem in both urban and rural areas in many developed and developing countries. Collection and disposal of solid waste is one of the major problems of urban environment in most countries worldwide today. Improper Solid Waste Management causes many environmental problems. Traditional composting methods have been common practices in many rural/sub urban areas and requires more time for complete degradation. Traditional method requires large sites for disposal, which nowadays is not possible, as limited spaces are available in the cities. So, here comes the need to find new techniques such as Home Composting. The research focuses on understanding the effectiveness of household composting as a waste management technique for household garbage. Household composting is an attractive method in which small bins can be used as an alternative to composting sites to a small scale. This technique helps to decompose the organic matter in lesser time than the traditional methods. Addition of compost accelerators in the bins increases the decomposition rate. Simply by home composting, the quantity of waste can be reduced. Key Words: Solid Waste Management, Composting, Compost Accelerators, Home Composting, Household Garbage

Abstract:

With the increase of population and change in lifestyle, the quantity and quality of solid waste has drastically changed in Indian society. Aspects involved in solid waste management are mostly, collection, transportation, disposal and processing. The disposal of solid waste is concerned with disposal process followed and availability of disposal land. Proper care should be taken in choosing the disposal area and disposal mechanism. Monitoring of the sites is priority criteria for successful management of solid waste as leachate generation occurs which is associated with ground water as well as surface water contamination near dumping sites. Surface water system situated near the disposal or landfill sites shows more toxicity as the dose of toxicants passage from the nearby landfill [1]. This note is simplified on the basis of guidelines on landfill gas management by SEPA, 2004 [2]. Through this short note, authors make a glimpse of landfill gas characteristics and management practices.

Abstract:

Sites of radioactive waste disposal in Chernobyl exclusion zone still contain significant amounts of fissile materials. At the same time, the information on the amount of radioactive material buried during the accident cannot be called satisfactory. Within the strengthening international safety and environmental requirements, special activities were initiated to survey the radioactive waste disposals created during the liquidation of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The work involved the following combination of non-invasive geophysical methods: 1) high-resolution magnetometry; 2) ground penetrating radar (GPR) 3) direct current electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). Magnetometry provided the detailed map of facilities, and highlighted the sites where containers with fissile substances had been buried. ERT models revealed variations in the resistivity across the disposal site, which is associated with different water content, and may indicate flooding. Ground water level was determined from GPR mesurements. The combined interpretation of geophysical results served a basis for designing the geometric model of the "Chernobyl 3rd stage" radioactive waste disposal facility. It was used to determine the places for subsequent applying direct radioactive methods for investigation and monitoring of this disposal site.

Abstract:

Researchers conducted research at the Southwest Sumba Regency Environmental Service. This research aims to determine the implementation of government policy in the provision of regional waste final disposal sites in Southwest Sumba Regency along with the inhibiting factors. This research method is qualitative, with data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the research show that: (1) the implementation of the Southwest Sumba Regency Regional Regulation policy Number 12 of 2019 concerning Final Disposal Sites for regional waste in Southwest Sumba Regency has not been implemented, this is due to the communication and socialization aspect of reducing regional waste. Consistency is also still minimal because there have been no firm efforts to implement administrative sanctions for business actors who do not pay fees or people who throw rubbish at illegal waste dumping sites. Based on the research results, most of the human resources implementing this policy, especially supervisors, only have a bachelor's degree or equivalent at the Environmental Service of Southwest Sumba Regency. Limited budgets make it difficult to procure machines for waste recycling, considering that the price per unit is expensive and it is not yet possible to provide them to villages, sub-districts, and the, entire community in Southwest Sumba Regency. Facilities and infrastructure are also limited, as many tools are in a damaged condition. Temporary disposal sites in several sub-districts have limited waste capacity. In terms of organizational structure, there are Standard Operating Procedures related to the provision of Regional Waste Final Disposal Sites and fragmentation involving the Southwest Sumba Regency Environmental Service. (2) Factors inhibiting the implementation of policies regarding final waste disposal sites in Southwest Sumba Regency, low public awareness of waste disposal, lack of firmness in implementing sanctions, lack of human resources, and budget limitations.

Abstract:

The industrialized nations of the world have begun to plan for the storage and eventual disposal of their increasing volumes of nuclear wastes. In this paper the authors inventory the progress made by these nations in planning for nuclear waste disposal. A typology based on the adoption of spent-fuel reprocessing programs and of progress toward selection of permanent disposal sites is developed, and the world's nuclear nations are located within this typology. However, those countries which have been active in determining and constructing disposal sites have faced considerable internal and international political conflict. Conflict over nuclear waste disposal site-selection is both a geographical and a political problem. There is a review of various factors which contribute to the articulation and resolution of political conflict, including public participation in siting decisions, veto power of local governments, and prospects for international cooperation in siting decisions. It is concluded that decentralized democratic procedures, which emphasize public participation in siting decisions, have the strongest potential for conflict resolution.

Abstract:

The construction industry is consuming substantial quantities of raw materials in processes, and it harms the environment by producing a considerable amount of waste. Steel is one of the common wastes produced in the construction industry. This research paper analyzes steel waste disposal techniques in the construction sites in Malaysia concerning environmental perspectives and sustains steel waste efficiently. This paper aims to examine the practical disposal techniques of steel waste in construction sites using the 3Rs concept of material sustainability. A questionnaire survey was effectively distributed to evaluate the practical disposal techniques of steel waste in the construction sector. The quantitative data of 66 out of 165 respondents were analyzed using SPSS software to decide whether the results met our research objectives. The results prove that construction and demolition stages have the highest amounts percentages of steel waste. Therefore, the reuse technique is a first and preferable option for construction stakeholders rather than adopting recycling techniques which include specific processes rising CO2 emissions. Reduce strategy: The highest impact and the top of the waste disposal hierarchy become a third option. This technique refers to the preliminary stages and stakeholders’ awareness of establishing steel waste management plans. Generally, the authors concluded that conventional implementation of project activities and poor adoption of innovation except for major projects had a significant impact on construction waste and steel waste. Therefore, they suggested studying the incurred cost of adopting each technique.
