Environment conservation is the common concern at all levels from local to global. Most of the recent environment problems and ill effects stem from ecological misappropriation and neglect to recognize the limits of ecosystem, its. Rapid population growth, low income, lowest health facilities, poor sanitation, lack of education. Personal and community hygiene poverty has enhanced the incidence ...

Solid Waste Management (SWM) system in Bhopal has deteriorated recently to the point that only limited waste collection is undertaken in certain urban areas and disposal is largely to uncontrolled dump sites. In this study, the technical, economical, and environmental aspects of three SWM scenarios were investigated aiming to compare the scenarios and select the most appropriate one for impleme...

Three decades of illegal practices of waste dumping and consequent environmental abuse have made the Campania region of Southern Italy a unique case in the context of waste-related health outcomes. Scientific evidence is mounting in support of a significant increase in cancer mortality and malformation occurrence in specific areas of the Campania region, where improper waste management and ille...

Aspergillus niger FETL FT3, a local extracellular tannase producer strain that was isolated from one of dumping sites of tannin-rich barks of Rhizophora apiculata in Perak, Malaysia. This fungus was cultivated in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask under submerged fermentation system. Various physical parameters were studied in order to maximize the tannase production. Maximal yield of tannase production, ...

Introduction Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a class of flame retardants that were added to thousands of consumer products, such as thermoplastics, electronic equipment, and textiles (Hale et al., 2001).Research has revealed that municipal sewage could be a significant source of PBDEs contamination that is ubiquitous throughout the environment (North, 2004; Song et al., 2006). The Pe...

Time–space conflicts are one of the most common issues facing construction practices, impacting safety and productivity in several negative ways at sites. Therefore, implementing developing methods to reduce frequency such occurring activity workspaces can effectively enhance project performance. Space is usually a constrained resource sites; therefore, this project, we propose an approach as m...

This paper presents results of the determination of the total concentration of arsenic, antimony and selenium and their inorganic speciation forms in water samples from grate ashes dumping grounds. Determined concentrations of elements were up to 128.8 ng/mL for arsenic, 153.7 ng/mL for antimony and 52.9 ng/mL for selenium, at the detection limits of 0.16 ng/mL for As, 0.18 ng/mL for Sb and 0.1...

The objectives of this project are to create a spatial digital database consisting of LU/LC and road network maps with the help of IRS-ID, PAN & LISS-III merged data and SOI toposheets, to create database consisting of traffic volume, vehicle density and details of solid waste and to evolve an optimal transportation route maps for efficient, safe and economic disposal of solid waste. The final ...

This study presents the impacts of dredge spoil dumping in pelagic habitat during a 27-month monitoring survey eastern Mediterranean coastal waters (Saronikos Gulf, Aegean Sea), with focus on changes trophic status and eutrophication levels, phytoplankton diversity bloom dynamics. A number environmental parameters metrics were significantly influenced by operations, specifically indices (number...
