EASEWASTE (Environmental Assessment of Solid Waste Systems and Technology) is a new LCA-based decision support tool within waste management. The model, which is developed by the Technical University of Denmark, calculates waste flow, resource consumption and environmental emissions from waste management systems and provides a complete impact assessment in terms of potential global warming, ozon...

death is one of the most inspiring concepts in most of well-known contemporary western and arab poets’works,including t.s. eliot and badr shakir al-sayyab’s. it plays a unique role in shaping the modern poetry. this paper contains a comparative archetypal-based analysis of symbolic aspects of death in “the waste land”, the most famous literary work by t.s.eliot whose impression on al-sayyab was...

Background & objectives: The disposal of hazardous waste in the environment, which is usually done by burying it in a special landfill, requires a set of environmental standards and special economic, social and managerial considerations. Improper landfills can have negative health, economic, and environmental effects. In this regard, the present study seeks to find a suitable landfill for speci...

OPINION: [*6] Per Curiam: The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 instituted a ban on the land disposal of classes of hazardous wastes unless certain conditions are met. Those amendments require the Environmental Protection Agency to follow a phased schedule for implementing the ban. In this case we consider various challenges to regulations implementing the final portion of this progr...

The tension in land use between development and conservation is long established. Find an area worth preserving, and invariably a development idea is, if not in the parlor, on the doorstep. Conversely, discover a perfect development site, and critical values spring from underfoot. Those aspects of land and terrain valued by conservationists-coast, wetland, river, forest, dune-are also valued by...

Antibiotics are used in animal livestock production for therapeutic treatment of disease and at subtherapeutic levels for growth promotion and improvement of feed efficiency. It is estimated that approximately 75% of antibiotics are not absorbed by animals and are excreted in waste. Antibiotic resistance selection occurs among gastrointestinal bacteria, which are also excreted in manure and sto...

In recent years, irrigating agricultural land with wastewater has become a major wastewater management practice. Irrigation has replaced much of the discharge to streams and conventional primary and secondary waste treatment for food processing wastewater (4, 11, 12, 13). Irrigating agricultural land for treatment and disposal of the food processing wastewater is a good practice if the wastewat...

The aim of the study is to analyze three different waste treatment technologies by life cycle assessment tool. Sanitary Landfill, Incineration and gasification-pyrolysis of the waste treatment technologies are studied in SimaPro software based on input-output materials flow. SimaPro software has been applied for analyzing environmental burden by different impact categories. All technologies are...

GOAL, SCOPE AND BACKGROUND Aquaculture activities are well known to be the major contributor to the increasing level of organic waste and toxic compound in the aquaculture industry. Along with the development of intensive aquaculture in China, concerns are evoked about the possible effects of ever-increasing aquaculture waste both on productivity inside the aquaculture system and on the ambient...
