This study carried out to investigate the production of hydrogen using the organic fraction of municipal solid waste OFMSW, where the anaerobic digester was depended as a method for disposing and treating OFMSW and producing bio-hydrogen. Bio-hydrogen production had been studied under different parameters including pH, solid content T.S%, temperature and mixing ratios between the thick sludge t...

There is a concern that mismanagement of medical waste in developing countries may be a significant risk factor for disease transmission. Quantitative estimation of medical waste generation is needed to estimate the potential risk and as a basis for any waste management plan. Dhaka City, the capital of Bangladesh, is an example of a major city in a developing country where there has been no rig...

BACKGROUND Large amounts of expired and unused medications accumulate in households. This potentially exposes the public to hazards due to uncontrolled use of medications. Most of the expired or unused medications that accumulate in households (household medical waste) is thrown to the garbage or flushed down to the sewage, potentially contaminating waste-water, water resources and even drinkin...

Solid waste management has been known to play an important role in public health and the environmental status of developing countries. Waste assessment can help researchers and governors in management programs and devising alternative plans in order to improve public health and economical savings. In the present study, statistical estimations regarding waste generation and type of solid wastes ...

Human industrial activities, inevitably, generate industrial wastes, consisting of, inorganic and organic materials, discharged from factories, fisheries, poultries and food processing industries. Degrading or handling these wastes, as unused disposals, without acquiring any additional benefits has led to an idea to develop a suitable technology to utilize bio-organic wastes. Chicken feathers h...
