The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging concept and that is currently under creation and development. However, it has already made an impact on many research domains by providing new solutions and ideas particularly in waste management and recycling. The IoT concept has provided a new research path that is conducive with public awareness of environmental protection considerations and improv...

fly ash is one of the most plentiful and versatile of the industrial by-products. at present, nearly 150 million tonnes of fly ash is being generated annually in india posing dual problem of environmental pollution and difficulty in disposal. this calls for establishing strategies to use the same effectively and efficiently. however, it is only in geotechnical engineering applications such as t...

olid waste” refers to the refuse , the solid and semi solid waste matters of a community except the night soil . Solid waste contains organic as well as inorganic matters . Solid waste management includes the entire process of dealing with solid waste ,starting from the collection from the primary source to ultimately disposing off it hygienically, so that it may not be a nuisance or create any...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Infectious waste management practices among health care workers in the tertiary care hospitals have been questionable. The study intended to identify issues that impede a proper infectious waste management. METHODS Besides direct observation, in-depths interviews were conducted with the hospital administrators and senior management involved in healthcare waste managem...

Solid waste is a significant and growing problem in many urban areas of the developing world. Current systems of waste management in most developing country cities are very rudimentary at best and are grossly inefficient and ineffective. Uncontrolled landfill disposal of solid waste is a pervasive problem which causes a range of external costs, including human health hazards. This paper sets ou...

Solid waste management practices itself is far from satisfactory, in India. Added to the above, is another problem of recent origin i.e. E-waste handling and management which has complicated waste management due to their unique properties than other solid wastes. The generation, separation, recycling and recovery of precious metals are still in its nascent state, almost all over India. In order...

There is a concern that mismanagement of medical waste in developing countries may be a significant risk factor for disease transmission. Quantitative estimation of medical waste generation is needed to estimate the potential risk and as a basis for any waste management plan. Dhaka City, the capital of Bangladesh, is an example of a major city in a developing country where there has been no rig...

Background & objectives: Increasing solid waste has made waste management an important challenge in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to comparative evaluation of the application of incineration technologies and other waste disposal methods in Iran using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in 2019. Methods: In this descriptive-applied research, after making a hierarchy, the...

This presentation discusses the ecological optimisation of municipal waste management (WM) systems. The purpose is to help local decision-makers in designing the integrated waste management solutions that are optimal from the ecological point of view. The study uses the life cycle methodology (LCA) for building a model and testing different waste management scenarios in order to see whether the...
