Phytoremediation of radioactive waste is a process that uses plants to remove, transfer, or immobilize radionuclides from the contaminated soil, sediment, sludge, or water, and it is a useful method for treating large-scale low-level radionuclide contamination. However, there have not been established criteria which can be utilized to screen out suitable plant species that are capable of remedi...

Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive for military and industrial applications, can cause serious environmental pollution. 28-day laboratory pot experiment was carried out applying bioaugmentation using laboratory selected bacterial strains as inoculum, biostimulation with molasses and cabbage leaf extract, and phytoremediation using rye and blue fenugreek to study the effect of thes...

Solid waste management (SWM) in Ethiopian cities is a significant public health, economic, and environmental issue, with access to suitable disposal locations becoming challenging due social, environmental, technical factors. This study aims propose landfill sites for Debrebirhan Town's solid using an integrated survey mechanism, including geographical information system, remote sensing, analyt...

Solid-waste management is a major challenge in urban areas throughout the world. Solid waste management is associated with controlling the generation, storage, collection, transfer and transport, processing and disposal of solid wastes in a manner that is in accordance with the best principles of sustainability. It includes all administrative, financial, legal, planning and engineering function...

The aim of this research is to develop a GIS-based simulation for selecting the most suitable site solid waste landfill which could help minimize harmful impacts environment and society in extreme sensitive complex delta by an integration geographic information system (GIS) analysis hierarchy process (AHP) nine criteria (distance from surface water; depth ground water table; distance residentia...

Household solid waste management is a severe problem in big cities of developing countries. Mismanaged solid waste dumpsites produce bad sanitary, ecological and economic consequences for the whole population, especially for the poorest urban inhabitants. Dealing with this problem, this paper utilizes field data collected in the urban community of Dakar, in view of ranking nine areas of the cit...

life cycle assessment (lca) is one of the decision support systems which can be considered for assessing the different approaches of waste management. however, it only considers environmental effects and ignores other decision making options such as economic and social effects of solid waste management. in this research, we consider a combination of three decision making options including en...

The problem of environmental pollution and health hazards due to inappropriate solid waste disposal is critical in developing countries like Ethiopia, Nekemte town one the Ethiopia facing from lack appropriate dumping site which leads surface ground water environment around area. Therefore, main objective this study selection suitable for using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools. Selecti...
