Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are the major Greenhouse Gases (GHG’s), which emit from landfill areas and contribute significantly to global warming. Moreover, that the global warming potential of methane is 21 times higher than that of carbon dioxide and it has highest generation (60%) than other gases. Therefore, there is immense concern for its abatement or utilization from landfi...

Waste collectors have a theoretical risk of Hepatitis A virus infection. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of hepatitis A virus infection (HAV) among municipal solid waste workers (MSWWs) in a municipality of central Greece. A seroprevalence study of HAV was conducted among 208 employees (100 waste collectors and 108 municipal gardeners) of a municipality in ce...

Improvement of environment and soil fertility through utilization compost produced from household organic solid waste is effective agroforestry system an technology to increase the production per unit area. For this reason, a research was conducted evaluate performance on growth yield tomato in at experimental field Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during period November 2020 June 2...

Identifying Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal sites and appropriately managing them is a challenging task to many developing countries like Bangladesh. It is a complex issue in an urban area, as increasing population levels, rapid economic growth and rise in community living standard, accelerates the generation rate of MSW. The study area is zone-2 (Mirpur-Pallabi) of Dhaka North City Corpor...

Waste management is an important issue to solve as the assimilative capacity of the biosphere becomes overloaded by human needs and activities. According to European guidelines, reduction of waste generation and recovery of energy and materials are strongly recommended for environmentally sound waste management. In order to adopt a long-term sustainable strategy, it is necessary to assess the v...

Plastics wastes from a municipal solid waste (MSW) plant have a high-energy content and are suitable for fuel generation. Thermal cracking is one of the possible ways to obtain petrochemical feedstock from polymer wastes. Municipal waste plastic of LDPE conversion to kerosene grade fuel experiments were carried out under atmospheric conditions at temperatures between 150 ̊C and 420 ̊C. Low densit...

In developing Asian countries, the municipal cooperations are unable to handle the increasing amount of municipal solid waste, which into the uncollected waste being spread on roads and in other public areas leading to tremendous pollution and destruction of land and negative impact on human health. Generation of municipal solid waste increases with the rapid urbanization and accelerated econom...

Research was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of producing methane gas from combined segregated municipal and agricultural waste. The combination of the two wastes resulted in sufficient nutrient value and bacterial diversity to improve the biodegradability of cellulose and increase the efficiency of gas production from the combined wastes. The feedstock included municipal solid waste with...

An experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications and 14 fertilizer treatments in year 2014. The treatments were including the control, application of chemical fertilizers according the soil analysis, application of 15, 30 and 45 tons of municipal  waste compost per ha as simple and with 25, 50 and 75% of chemical fertilizers. The results revealed that the ...
