Industrial hazardous materials (hazmat) are byproduct of industrial production and include hazardous goods, such as flammable, toxic and corrosive materials that pose a risk to the environment.Hazardous waste management includes collection, transportation, treatment, recycling and disposal of industrial hazardous material in an organized manner. With the increasing industrialization of countrie...

Most people will store smartphone waste or give it to others; this is due inadequate collection facilities in all cities/regencies Indonesia. In Yogyakarta Province, there no electronic facility. Therefore, an e-waste network needed cover potential the province of Yogyakarta.

This paper presents the results of a study funded by the Department for Transport investigating various strategies for optimising domestic waste collections, including joint working arrangements and alternate weekly collection. This was achieved with the aid of routing and scheduling software (Logix by DPS International). Using domestic collection round data from three waste collection authorit...

The electronic waste also known as e-waste is a dangerous waste consisting of unwanted electronic and electrical equipment. Developing countries are facing the problem of e-waste management enormously which is either internally generated or are imported from other countries. India is also facing the problem of e-waste management due to lack of awareness among people about dangerous effect of ew...

The Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) is the largest national research centre in Switzerland. Its multidisciplinary research is dedicated to a wide field in natural science and technology as well as particle physics. In this context, PSI is operating, amongst others, a large proton accelerator facility since more than 30 years. In two cyclotrons, protons are accelerated to high speeds and then guide...

testing methods are not adequately recorded or reported, assuring the quality of the information generated—and thus, the quality of the compost produced—is impossible. Since sample collection, handling, storage, and shipping are generally conducted by facility personnel, a quality assurance program that addresses these steps must be developed by each facility. The key steps in developing such a...

The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston is a large academic medical center with about 12,700 employees, 350 radioisotope research labs and 200 permitted radioactive materials users. Consequently, UTMB generates a fairly large amount of radioactive waste. The majority of this waste contains short-lived radionuclides, such as 32P, 33P, and 35S, which are held for decay and then...
