The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of ISO 14001 and other significant factors on solid waste generation rates of organizations. The research is based on a survey conducted on a random sample of industrial companies that operate in United States. The paper reveals that companies’ solid waste generation rates are significantly reduced by certification and identifies several factors ...

The environment, as a consequence of industrial and agricultural revolutions, tends to harden with potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic halogen-substituted aromatic compounds. Phenol and its higher molecular homologues are dangerous environmental pollutants. Due to their toxic character, these molecules tend to accumulate in water and soil after being discharged without an adequate treatment....

The state of soil Being the largest country in the world as to its territory, Russia has not managed to escape the problem of land loss in the face of challenges connected with modern social development. One such problem relates to the loss of the fertile layer of the land surface known as soil. The causes of these negative processes seem to be widely known and similar in many countries. Howeve...

Agricultural waste management is one of the important issues that agricultural producers should consider to increase their income and environmental protection. Therefore, the investigation of factors that reduce the rate of agricultural production wastage as well as citrus production wastage is of utmost consequence in order to manage wastes, reduce environmental degradation and ecosystem destr...

use of microorganisms for removing mercury is an effective technology for the treatment of industrial wastewaters and can become an effective tool for the remediation of man-impacted coastal ecosystems with this metal. in this study, seven types of mercury resistant bacteria were separated from industrial waste and minimum inhibitory concentration (mic), were determined for these bacteria. resu...

activated sludge or extended aeration treatment involves a continous system where aerobic biological growths are mixed with waste water and then separated in a gravity clarifier. therefore, waste treatment system such as the activated sludge system depend on the activities of communities of living organism. in this study, an attempt was made on the indentification of the bacterial population in...

The discharge of potentially toxic trace metals into the environment has become a global problem. As a result of industrial activities and technological development, the amount of heavy metal ions discharged into streams and rivers by industrial and municipal waste-water have been increasing. In addition to natural sources of heavy metals (i.e. geologic weathering, volcanic activity, and animal...

waste is the total remnants of domestic, agricultural, industrial and productive human activities, all trash left somewhere, neglect which threatens harms public safety. Waste divided into many types such as: Non-biodegradable waste, Hazardous Industrial Municipal solid Agricultural waste.
 Organic waste: It fermentable as food scraps garden waste. Inorganic that does not contain organic c...
