Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid Wastes Management begins with a focus on processing municipal and similar commercial, as well as industrial wastes; assessing and minimising the environmental impacts of processing and disposal. The second section reviews the treatment technologies available (physical, biological and thermal), their advantages, disadvantages and environmental performance. The third section considers the environmental and health impacts of the technologies and reviews the use of models to predict landfill leachate, gas formation and pollution dispersion. The fourth section is on the human health impact of waste management and draws on the previous sections, bringing in pollutants such as bioaerosols and ultra-fine particulate material. In the fifth and sixth sections, the importance of adopting an integrated approach to waste management is demonstrated through consideration of life cycle assessment and its use to determine optimum waste management solutions.

Download or read book Solid Waste Management Prince Edward Island written by and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reviews the forms of solid waste generated in Prince Edward Island and the waste management systems which would be capable of handling the expected volumes of household, institutional, and commercial solid waste. It first appraises the composition & amount of solid waste produced in the province. It then reviews the current state of solid waste management & associated government programs. Problems such as poor management & inadequate access to dumps, overtaxed municipal incinerators, and indiscriminate dumping in rural areas are discussed. Finally, solutions are proposed with regard to establishment of waste management standards & objectives, proper division of waste management responsibilities, and development of a waste management system having the three basic components of collection, transportation, and disposal. Costs of the recommended system are also analyzed.

This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the developing countries, pollution through solid waste, sludge from water and wastewater treatment plants and pollution of natural water resources have become one of the grave issues. The root cause is population explosion, industrialization, urbanization and other anthropogenic activities. The increase rate of solid waste has become a major challenge for sustainable development of the environment. Poor management of solid waste and sludge from water and wastewater treatment plants may be the cause of health hazards and environmental problems. The book presents new methods and technologies to combat the aforementioned problems and focuses on the importance of using the recycled products. The technologies related to waste and sludge treatment are economical, eco-friendly and bring economic returns, and can be applied to most of the developing countries where waste treatment technologies, viz. composting, anaerobic digestion, recycling of plastic and agricultural waste in construction can be used. The aim of the book is to support everyone who is involved in academics, teaching, research related to solid waste management and water and wastewater treatment study in the leading academic and research organizations globally. This book will be of prodigious value to upcoming researchers, scholars, scientists and professionals in Environmental Science and Engineering fields, and global and local authorities and policy makers responsible for the management of solid wastes and sludge. Globally, universities can develop new prospectuses on sustainable and eco-friendly waste and sludge management, which are relating to the book’s theme. This book can also be of great source for designing and operation of waste reuse and recycling programmes.

Download or read book Managing Solid Waste in Small Welsh Hotels in an Environmentally Responsible Way written by Hatem Radwan and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On aggregate, small hotels constitute a significant solid waste management (SWM) problem undertaking landfill as a main waste disposal strategy for hotel waste. This not only adds to the degradation of the environment but also imposes a significant cost over the business in terms of production and disposal of the waste. However, analysis of the literature revealed that the issue of SWM in the context of the small hotel sector had been paid little attention by academics. This research intends specifically to identify the challenges of adopting sustainable SWM practices in small hotels and provide potential solutions. A conceptual framework was evolved to guide this study. It merges Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) with SWM best practices to understand hoteliers' attitudes and the obstacles of implementing sustainable SWM options. A phenomenological perspective was adopted to investigate SWM issues in two different case studies of small hotels in Wales using: semi-structured interviews, direct observation and document analysis. First, a case study of non-Green Dragon Environmental Standard (GDES) small hotels in a Welsh local authority was developed. The findings revealed that most non-GDES hoteliers highly prioritized landfill and felt negatively about the implementation of sustainable SWM options with the exception of recycling. There is also a perceived range of behavioural constraints, among these: lack of awareness; lack of recycling and composting facilities; poor manufacturers' production and packaging strategies; lack of space, time and cost issues. A part of this case study, the potential role of public and private waste sectors was examined through undertaking semi-structured interviews with the executive of both sectors. The results identified limitations of SWM operations undertaken by both sectors. Second, a case study of small hotels committed to GDES in Wales was designed. Most GDES hoteliers held positive attitudes and implemented sustainable SWM options. In comparison, non-GDES hoteliers had no intention of managing their solid waste effectively, even after the recycling service was made available to them by the local authority - an issue which necessitates government intervention. A cross-case analysis was undertaken identifying seven means of motivations to influence hoteliers' behavioural intentions in relation to SWM: providing recycling and composting facilities; providing awareness and education; enhancing the economic motivation; encouraging the social motivation; boosting the marketing motivation; enacting legislative pressure; building networks between small hotels. A major contribution of this study is related to the development of a best practice model for the public sector to encourage better SWM practices in small hotels, along with an input/output process model to support/oblige public and private waste sectors to apply sustainable SWM practices and work more closely with small hotels. Also, the study had verified that the model of TPB with its main components (Attitude, Subjective Norm and Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC)) was not adequate to explain the attitude/behaviour relationship.
