Land application of biosolids has proven a cost-effective method of waste disposal by beneficially recycling organic matter and nutrients and improving soil quality; however, it may also pose potential threat to the environment and human health. The purpose of this paper is to provide information on recent research progresses and regulation efforts regarding land application of biosolids, inclu...

Emami Paper Mill Ltd. at Balgopalpur industrial area produces a huge amount of fly ash and waste water to the environment. The application of disposed fly ash and waste water in crop cultivation may reduce the problem to some extent. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of direct land application of fly ash on plant growth and production of rice (Oriza sativa). In the fly ash exp...

crisis. Several thousand pounds of hazardous waste are generated annually for every person in the nation.1.2 Also, the total cost of waste management is escalating at a rate of 20-309'0/yr.~ The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) finds that reducing waste, by preventing it from being generated at the source, is now a practical way to complement the costly pollution control regulatory system....

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended, established three key requirements governing the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. First, under the land disposal requirements, this waste usually must be treated to minimize threats to human health and the environment before it is disposed of on land. Second, under the minimum technology requirements, cer...

Background: The disposal and management of hazardous waste are worldwide problems. Notwithstanding the difficulties evaluating epidemiological studies, some observations of their health impact appear to be, to some extent, reproducible. Local context: The role of epidemiological studies in contributing to decision-making in public health is addressed, through describing an Italian context with ...

Acrolein may be released to the environment in emissions and effluents from its manufacturing and use facilities, in emissions from combustion processes (including cigarette smoking and combustion of petrochemical fuels), from direct application to water and waste water as a slimicide and aquatic herbicide, as a photooxidation product of various hydrocarbon pollutants found in air (including pr...

Non-hazardous industrial solid wastes are frequently proposed for beneficial use rather than being disposed in MSW landfills. An example of such an industrial waste is waste-to-energy (WTE) ash. Proposed beneficial use projects for WTE ash often involve some form of land application. Prior to the land application of any solid waste, the possible risk to human health and the environment should b...

After the World War-1, there spread chaos and disillusionment in society, faith got shattered life became meaningless. Jean-Paul Sartre’s version of Existentialism is based on this meaninglessness absurdity. Man faces an absurd meaningless existence chaotic world. Thus these two are main tropes philosophy. T. S. Eliot also lived that age composed his long narrative poem The Waste Land (1930) af...

Control of animal waste has been a major policy challenge. We identify the properties of efficient regulation and suggest that effective policies to control animal waste will enhance utilization of manure in local production and may change land allocation among crops. We also show that policies that aim to control local environmental problems, ignoring spillover among regions, may be significan...
