Incineration

could be a source of noisiness, bad odor and reduced local property value for population live nearby the locations. Lack of evidence limits our ability to find out the whole story behind landfill environmental health impacts (Giusti, 2009). We can control all these negative impacts in landfills by the proper design and engineering and this is barely existed especially in developing countries where most of them use dumps for land disposal due to the poverty, which get the population attention rather than environmental improvement. It is very familiar there to see heaps of dumps scattered around metropolitan areas (Ayomoh, Oke, Adedeji, & Charles-Owaba, 2008). Thermal treatment and in particular incineration has received citizen oppositions all over the world due to beliefs that incineration threatens environmental health and it is incompatible with reduction of waste. However, it is not wise to neglect this technique in favor of other waste forms including landfilling if the latter environmental health damaging impact larger than that of thermal treatment techniques (Assamoi & Lawryshyn, 2012;…

regulations that the commercial waste management transportation must adhere to include the vehicle is designed to protect the driver, public and environment from exposure to the waste during transportation in the event of an accident, vehicles kept solely for transporting clinical waste, and the driver should be segregated from the waste (Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, 2015, p 8). Once the waste has been transported to an approved facility the treatment and disposal of the…

With numbers like this we don’t have the luxury of continuing on this path of submissive self-destruction, something has to change, the materials we use for packaging has to change. One way to accomplish this seemingly unattainable goal is by using bio-packaging, packaging that is derived from plant based polymers that are both renewable and compostable (Johansson, et al., 2012). In the United States the leading method of packaging waste disposal is landfill, followed by, a not so close second,…

However, the initial investment and maintenance costs must come into the argument to compare it against simply sending the waste to landfill. (2) Figure 1 clearly shows the Gross private costs of incineration is some 250% higher than that of landfill. This table also shows that there is a cost saving due to materials as industries will have to pay for the incineration of their waste which will then contribute to lowering the net costs of incineration. Despite this, incineration does produce a…

developing countries or other health care facilities or to recycle the non-infectious waste, if possible. Health care waste production ends up in waste streams and/or commercial incinerators and ultimately generates toxic substances that affects the health of the human population and the environment. Historically, and still a common practice in developing countries, medical waste incineration was the leading source of dangerous environmental pollutants such as dioxin, mercury, and lead4.…

Brownfields are defined by the Environmental Protection Agency as “real property, the expansion, redevelopment or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant”. Brownfields are often what is left after the land is used for industrial or commercial facilities. Because of New York City’s lack of space, Brownfields can be a solution to utilize the unoccupied space for more developments and opportunities for energy…

Our city is located in the scenic region of Hawaii, where the beautiful weather and nice sunsets are located. The climate in our city includes a sunny region, which is from the volcanoes and oceanic surrounding, and mountainous region which is Mauna Kea.

What makes the geography favorable in our city is that it…

Municipalities in the USA and indeed around the World are generating growing numbers of plastic waste than ever before and the facts are that only a small percentage of it is recycled. In many developing countries plastics and other byproducts litter streets, drains, rivers and much of that ends up in the oceans. In the USA, the EPA estimates that the municipal solid waste stream contains more than 12 percent of plastic. This figure has grown consistently over the past fifty years, from one…
