The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended, established three key requirements governing the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. First, under the land disposal requirements, this waste usually must be treated to minimize threats to human health and the environment before it is disposed of on land. Second, under the minimum technology requirements, cer...

in vietnam, municipal solid waste (msw) has being become increasing complex due to variety of reasons as the increasing quantity, changing composition of msw, rising public awareness and municipal administration policies among different cities and surrounding communities. there is not currently an efficient management system in place for facilities such as storage, collection, transfer, tran...

The disposal of industrial wastes is a problem of increasing importance throughout the world. Sludge from paper mills are produced in large quantities in most industrial nations of the world today due to the large usage of paper, constitute one of our most serious environmental problems. Paper mill sludge has substantially little usage as a material that can be employed in other industrial appl...

BACKGROUND Healthcare professionals (HCPs) produce various types of waste in the course of rendering healthcare services. Each classification of waste must be disposed of according to the prescribed guidelines. Incorrect disposal of waste may pose a danger to employees, patients and the environment. HCPs must have adequate knowledge of the disposal of medical waste. OBJECTIVES To determine th...

The impact of current and historical waste disposal practices on the environment and human health of Indigenous people in First Nations communities has yet to be adequately addressed. Solid waste disposal has been identified as a major environmental threat to First Nations Communities. A community-based participatory research project (CBPR) was initiated by the Saskatoon Tribal Council Health a...

according to the reports, industrial livestock activities have most pernicious and harmful impacts on water resources quality. livestock activities include cattle breeding, animals feeding, cleaning animals resting sites, the storage of livestock manure and even abandoned places for livestock keeping impose large negative effects on water quality. such impacts stems from high density or livesto...

Centralized collection and disposal is an integral component of waste management strategies for many solid and liquid wastes, and carbon capture and storage is currently being considered for gaseous waste. In this paper we show how collective waste disposal systems introduce essential changes in the design of optimal environmental policy. Absent collective disposal, an optimal environmental pol...

Disposal of an industrial waste like flyash produced from burning of coals in thermal power stations requires a large land area. The decreasing availability of good construction site has led to the increased use of low lying areas filled up with industrial wastes whose bearing capacity is low. In-situ treatment of such industrial waste fills; in order to improve their bearing capacity with rein...

In this assessment, hybrid composites were prepared from the combination of industrial waste, as marble waste powder (MWP) with conventional fillers, carbon black (CB) as well as silica as reinforcing material, incorporated with natural rubber (NR). The properties studied were curing, mechanical and swelling behavior. Assimilation of CB as well as silica into MWP containing NR compound responde...
