The most common means for disposing of municipal solid waste is burial in a sanitary landfill. However, many landfill are underestimate the total cost of landfill disposal be considering only land and operating costs, ignoring external physical and social costs associated with landfills. This paper pro0oses and approach be estimating (in monetary terms) the external costs arising from the devel...

This study evaluated the breath CH4 excretion and concentration of M. smithii in intestinal microbiota of schoolchildren from 2 slums. One hundred and eleven children from a slum near a sanitary landfill, 35 children of a slum located away from the sanitary landfill, and 32 children from a high socioeconomic level school were included in the study. Real-time PCR was performed to quantify the M....

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...

Solid Waste Management (SWM) system in Bhopal has deteriorated recently to the point that only limited waste collection is undertaken in certain urban areas and disposal is largely to uncontrolled dump sites. In this study, the technical, economical, and environmental aspects of three SWM scenarios were investigated aiming to compare the scenarios and select the most appropriate one for impleme...

The present study was aimed at determining the relationship between the operation of municipal landfills and the fluctuations of bacterial indicators of the sanitary quality of soil. Soil samples were collected at monthly intervals from May 2010 to April 2011 at ten sampling sites located on the premises and in vicinity of the reclaimed Municipal Landfill Site (MLS) and the new Municipal Solid ...

landfilling is an ultimate fate of any municipal solid waste management system, and it is a no alternative choice for disposal of municipal solid waste. the major environmental concerns associated with landfilling of wastes are related to the leachate generation and eventual discharge of leachate into the environment. leachate quality is formed due to aerobic and anaerobic processes taking plac...

This study demonstrates the influence of lysimeter operational condition and tropical seasonal variation of leachate characteristics generated from municipal solid waste (MSW) deposited in landfill lysimeter at KUET campus, Bangladesh. Three different situations of landfill were considered here as well as both the open dump lysimeter-A having a base liner and sanitary landfill lysimeter-B and C...

Background & objectives: Increasing solid waste has made waste management an important challenge in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to comparative evaluation of the application of incineration technologies and other waste disposal methods in Iran using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in 2019. Methods: In this descriptive-applied research, after making a hierarchy, the...

INTRODUCTION An environmental impact assessment (EIA) before embarking on any project is a useful tool to reduce the potential effects of each project, including landfill, if possible. The main objective of this study was to assess the environmental impact of the current municipal solid waste disposal site of Gonabad by using the Iranian Leopold matrix method. METHODS This cross-sectional stu...

The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of leachate in pilot scale landfill lysimeter for inorganic and organic compounds as well as metal and heavy metal concentrations against their operational conditions based on statistical tool through statistical package for social science (SPSS) software. To these attempts, three pilot scale landfill lysimeter test facilities were ...
