Environmental and Economic Evaluation of Municipal Solid Waste Management using WAGS Model – Air Pollutant Emission and Fuel Economy in Waste Collection Sector
Solid waste collection, transfer and transportation (SWCTT) is a fundamental component of solid waste management systems that contributes to both the costs and environmental emissions associated with managing solid waste. The objective of this study is to project the fuel consumption and fuel costs of SWCTT in Tehran from 2018 to 2032. A further objective is to evaluate the air pollutant emissi...

متن کاملOptimal Planning of Solid Waste Collection, Recycling and Incineration System
The combustion temperature control for the potential emissions of trace organic compounds during incinera tion and the possible decrease of heating values by waste recycling have created a mutually influenced infrastruc ture in the current integrated solid waste management sys tem. This paper illustrates the problem of the compatibility between waste recycling and incineration by a nonlinear...
