The Polk County Solid Waste Department, located in Polk County Minnesota, participates in a complete integrated solid waste management program that includes four other counties in northwest Minnesota. One component of the integrated solid waste management program includes the operation of a municipal waste combustor (MWC) that com busts approximately 65 tons per day of processed solid waste. Th...

Abstract
 The abundance of organic waste generated by agro-industrial activities leads to the need find alternatives for adequate destinations these. Composting is most viable alternative due its low cost, ease operation and generation a product with possibility economic exploitation. objective this work was present dynamics composting process in an processing plant municipality Montenegro...

Discard studies have demonstrated that waste is more than just a symptom of an all-too-human demand for meaning, or a merely technical problem for the likes of sanitary engineers and public health officials. The afterlife of waste materials and processes of waste management reveal the centrality of transient and discarded things for questions of materiality and ontology, marginal and polluting ...

An overview is presented of the current state of knowledge of the salient aspects of the sources, transport, and alterations of arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. This information is considered vital for a better assessment of the scope of potential human hazard to these ubiquitous toxicants and their compounds. Stress is focused on both natural and industrial activities, partic...

Background Protecting drinking water supplies from pathogens such as Cryptosporidium parvum is a major concern for water utilities worldwide. The sensitivity and specificity of current detection methods are largely determined by the effectiveness of the concentration and separation methods used. The purpose of this study is to develop micromixers able to specifically isolate and concentrate Cry...

A series of sodium borosilicate glasses containing cesium, molybdenum, and chromium was prepared to investigate the partitioning of chromium amongst the glass and phase-separated crystalline molybdates. The precipitates were examined by (133)Cs, (23)Na, and (95)Mo MAS NMR, revealing a phase assemblage consisting of Na(2)MoO(4), Na(2)MoO(4)·2H(2)O, Cs(2)MoO(4), Cs(2)CrO(4), CsNaMoO(4)·2H(2)O, an...

The Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA) has been involved in studies related to the Mayak PA and the consequences of activities undertaken at the site for a number of years. This paper strives to present an overview of past and present activities at the Mayak PA and subsequent developments in the quantification of health effects on local populations caused by discharges of radioacti...

The animal health hazards associated with the importation of pork and pork products include four viral agents: foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever (hog cholera), African swine fever, and swine vesicular disease viruses. The safety of importing pork from a zone infected with one or more of these diseases can be adequately determined only through risk assessment. This also applies for t...

In the present work, the reaction of Cr(VI) with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide in microplates (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay microtiter plate) and a subsequent determination in a plate reader at 540 nm were performed. The final volume utilized for each determination was 200 μL, and the cost and waste were reduced for hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] quantification. The use of microplates allowed for th...
