Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases: A Major Public Health Issue in Todays’ World

Composting and compost utilization: accounting of greenhouse gases and global warming contributions.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to composting of organic waste and the use of compost were assessed from a waste management perspective. The GHG accounting for composting includes use of electricity and fuels, emissions of methane and nitrous oxide from the composting process, and savings obtained by the use of the compost. The GHG account depends on waste type and composition (kitchen o...

Landfilling of waste: accounting of greenhouse gases and global warming contributions.

Accounting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from waste landfilling is summarized with the focus on processes and technical data for a number of different landfilling technologies: open dump (which was included as the worst-case-scenario), conventional landfills with flares and with energy recovery, and landfills receiving low-organic-carbon waste. The results showed that direct emissions of GH...

Recycling of glass: accounting of greenhouse gases and global warming contributions.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to recycling of glass waste were assessed from a waste management perspective. Focus was on the material recovery facility (MRF) where the initial sorting of glass waste takes place. The MRF delivers products like cullet and whole bottles to other industries. Two possible uses of reprocessed glass waste were considered: (i) remelting of cullet added to gla...

Global warming and its effect on the environmental human health

Earth's ecosystem has been active for millions of years without particular problems and may lead the development of variety of animal species around the world.
