Environment conservation is the common concern at all levels from local to global. Most of the recent environment problems and ill effects stem from ecological misappropriation and neglect to recognize the limits of ecosystem, its.

Nuclear fission is capable of meeting global needs for carbon-free energy for millennia. However, the siting and implementation of waste repositories for spent fuel is becoming increasingly problematic from a financial and political perspective. We have performed initial studies of a novel concept for the permanent disposal of longlived fission waste, where “permanent” is defined as being on th...

Rock filters are an established technology for polishing waste stabilization pond effluents. However, they rapidly become anoxic and consequently do not remove ammonium-nitrogen. Horizontal-flow aerated rock filters (HFARF), developed to permit nitrification and hence ammonium-N removal, were compared with a novel vertical-flow aerated rock filter (VFARF). There were no differences in the remov...

Background There has been an alarming increase in the dumping of Hong Kong’s municipal solid waste (MSW), predominantly food waste, in landfill (9,547 tonnes of MSW per day in 2013) [1]. One way of promoting an environmentally friendly method of minimising food waste is to turn the waste into energy by producing biodiesel from waste cooking oils. Biodiesel is a biodegradable fuel that can be ma...

Solid-waste management is a major challenge in urban areas throughout the world. Solid waste management is associated with controlling the generation, storage, collection, transfer and transport, processing and disposal of solid wastes in a manner that is in accordance with the best principles of sustainability. It includes all administrative, financial, legal, planning and engineering function...

OBJECTIVES Waste management in the Campania region has been characterised, since the 1980s, by widespread uncontrolled and illegal practices of waste dumping, generating concerns over the health implications. The objective of this study was to evaluate possible adverse health effects of such environmental pressure. METHODS The health effects of waste-related environmental exposures in Campani...
