Current Perspectives in Site Remediation and Monitoring: Using the Triad Approach to Improve the Cost-Effectiveness of Hazardous Waste Site Cleanups
نویسنده
چکیده
U.S. EPAs Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response is promoting more effective strategies for characterizing, monitoring, and cleaning up hazardous waste sites. In particular, the adoption of a new paradigm holds the promise for better decision-making at waste sites. This paradigm is based on using an integrated triad of systematic planning, dynamic work plans, and real-time measurement technologies to plan and implement data collection and technical decision-making at hazardous waste sites. A central theme of the triad approach is a clear focus on overall decision quality as the overarching goal of project quality assurance, requiring careful identification and management of potential causes for errors in decision-making (i.e., sources of uncertainty).

متن کاملUsing boolean and fuzzy logic combined with analytic hierarchy process for hazardous waste landfill site selection: A case study from Hormozgan province, Iran
Hazardous wastes include numerous kinds of discarded chemicals and other wastes generated from industrial, commercial, and institutional activities. These types of waste present immediate or long-term risks to humans, animals, plants, or the environment and therefore require special handling for safe disposal. Landfills that can accept hazardous wastes are excavated or engineered sites where th...
