Sanitary landfill is the common strategy for municipal solid waste management in developing countries. Anaerobic decomposition of disposed wastes in landfill under favorable conditions will lead to the landfill gas (LFG) emissions, considering as emerging air pollutants. The emission of greenhouse gases, including methane, resulting from municipal solid waste disposal and treatment processes ar...

sanitary landfills, created for the disposal of solid waste, usually are developed into parks afterthey are closed. however, soil amelioration with organic matter is usually needed to restore fertility andpromote revegetation. sewage sludge creates a massive waste disposal problem. the use of composted sewage sludge (biosolid) as a soil conditioner might restore the soil fertility at landfill s...

(Received: July 21, 2012; Accepted in Revised Form: July 5, 2013) Abstract: The principal concern of this study is to formulate the sub-pollution indices (sub-LPIs) and evaluate the individual and overall leachate pollutant index (LPI) of pilot scale landfill lysimeter at KUET campus, Bangladesh. To these endeavors, leachate samples from collection chamber of landfill lysimeter were sampling an...

This paper estimates the economic values of household preference for enhanced solid waste disposal services in Malaysia. The contingent valuation (CV) method estimates an average additional monthly willingness-to-pay (WTP) in solid waste management charges of €0.77 to 0.80 for improved waste disposal services quality. The finding of a slightly higher WTP from the generic CV question than that o...

in iraq, waste generation was increased after 2003 war events due to intensepopulation developmentand economic growth. the limitation of designable system for municipal solidwaste (msw) management led toserious problems regarding environment and human health. sanitary landfill in the south of kirkuk is the first kindof effective system for municipal solid waste management in iraq. in the first ...

IN T R O D U C T IO N Reduced to its simplest terms, solid waste collection and disposal consists of the acceptance of the solid waste from processes of human life, the transportation of such material to disposal sites, and the process­ ing and disposal of the material so that nuisances are not created. The entire process must be carried out in such a manner that the public health of the commun...
