Download or read book The Cost of Environmental Degradation written by Lelia Croitoru and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much is a cleaner environment worth? For policy makers, that question used to go largely unanswered. Many economic activities cause environmental degradation, entailing real costs to the economy and to people's welfare. Knowing the extent of these costs is crucial for identifying a country's main environmental priorities and allocating appropriate funds for environmental protection. Over the past decade, the World Bank has initiated a systematic effort to measure the costs of environmental degradation in the Middle East and North Africa, shedding new light on their magnitude and on the need for policy changes. In many cases, these costs were found to be surprisingly large. 'The Cost of Environmental Degradation: Case Studies from the Middle East and North Africa' brings together the best case studies of this program and summarizes their policy impacts at the national and regional levels. The case studies quantify monetarily the annual damage due to environmental degradation and express these estimates as percentages of the countries' gross domestic product. The studies use the most recent environmental valuation methods to estimate the economic costs resulting from air pollution, water degradation, deforestation, and land degradation. Uniquely, the book dedicates a case study to value the costs of environmental degradation resulting from an oil spill and demolition waste in times of conflict. The studies then illuminate the concrete implications on policy, investments, and institutions for the respective nations. This book will be of interest to policy makers, nongovernmental organizations, and academic and research institutions.

Book excerpt: Roadwork: Theory and Practice, now in its sixth edition, gives the essential information needed by every road worker, highway technician, incorporated, graduate or chartered engineer, not only by explaining the theory of road construction and its associated activities, but by illustrating its application with practical working methods that are in use in everyday engineering practice. As such, it successfully bridges the gap so often found between civil engineering theory and the day-to-day work of a highways engineer. The authors have drawn from a lifetime of experience in the construction industry and included current design and construction practices.

Download or read book Zero Waste Management Practices for Environmental Sustainability written by Ashok K. Rathoure and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zero Waste: Management Practices for Environmental Sustainability presents approaches for resource management centered on reducing waste and reusing and recycling materials. It aims to save energy by reducing energy consumption associated with extracting, processing, and transporting raw materials and waste, and also to reduce and eventually eliminate the need for landfills and incinerators. This book presents the various principles, methods, and tools that can be used to address different issues in the areas of industrial waste reduction and sustainability. It examines how to eliminate waste at the source and at all points of a supply chain, and how to shift from the current one-way linear resource model to a sustainable "closed-loop" system. Proposes strategies for businesses to reduce and reuse waste with a goal of reaching a zero waste status. Focuses on how mitigating waste and promoting recycling can save vast amounts of energy. Explains how the zero waste approach would be a key measure to ensure environmental sustainability and help to offset global climate change.

Download or read book Landfill Volume Gain from the Diversion of Construction and Demolition Waste written by Aayush Raj Tiwary and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is one of the major components of the solid waste and is defined as a waste stream resulting from the construction, renovation and demolition of structures such as buildings, roads, and bridges. The amount of C&D waste has been in an upsurge with rapid growth in construction works and is expected to grow even more. As such, the effective waste management for C&D disposal has been a global issue owing to the increasing construction works worldwide. Although landfill disposal of C&D waste is not the preferred method of the C&D waste management, a significant portion of C&D waste is disposed in the landfills. Apart from the environmental and health risks, the landfill disposal of C&D waste also consumes considerable amount of landfill volume. Due to the high construction cost and scarcity of land, it is important to take possible measures to save landfill volumes. Hence, diversion of C&D waste from the main waste stream can substantially help in gaining more landfill volume. However, to estimate the possible volume gain from the diversion of the C&D waste, it is important to understand the properties of the C&D waste. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the properties of the C&D waste and estimate the possible landfill volume gain from the diversion of C&D waste. For the current study, five construction and five demolition waste samples were collected from the City of Denton landfill in October 2015. Based on the manual sorting of the samples, the average composition for the C&D waste with equal proportion of construction waste and demolition waste (50% Construction and 50% demolition waste) was found to consist of 36.6% wood products, 18.3% Portland cement concrete, 10% asphalt concrete, 12% brick and tiles, 1.3% metals, 11% drywall & plaster, 5% cardboard, and 6% C&D debris fine. The unit weights of the collected samples were determined using the standard proctor method. For C&D waste with equal proportion of construction waste and demolition waste (50% Construction and 50% demolition waste), the unit weight was found to be 62.13 pcf (0.84 tons per cubic yard). The average moisture content of construction waste was determined to be 5.93% and 6.33% on wet weight and dry weight basis respectively. Whereas, the average moisture content for demolition waste was found to be 2.73 % and 2.81% on wet weight and dry weight basis respectively. The volatile solids content of construction waste was found to be 82.7% in average. The landfill volume gain was estimated based on the average annual tonnage and unit weight from the current study. Based on the results, for a landfill with 20 acres area, 100 feet design height and 3H:1V side slope, approximately 1.25% of total landfill volume which is approximately equal to 0.61% of total lift height can be obtained per year by diverting 90% of the C&D waste from the landfill.

Download or read book Managing and Minimizing Construction Waste written by J. Ferguson and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 1995 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over two billion tonnes of waste are generated in the European Union every year, approximately half of which comes from the construction industry. Increasing pressure on landfill sites, accompanied by escalating prices and a growing awareness of environmental concerns has made the minimization of this waste and ites responsible disposal an absolute necessity. The Environment Protection Act 1990 placed a Duty of Care on every individual involved in the creation, storage, transportation or disposal of waste. This practical guide for everyone involved with the construction industry outlines how to manage waste from construction economically and in accordance with the legal requirements of the Duty of Care. It explains in detail all actions required of the responsible person and offers extremely practical advice on how to minimize the amount of waste produced, thus saving costs and reducing the environmental impact.
