Disposal pit 467 0–2600 a After DIPMAC Report, 1992. Arsenic residues (< 50 to > 3000 mg As kg−1) have also been identified in subsurface layers at depths exceeding 500 mm (Naidu et al., 1995). Some of the As concentrations present in the contaminated soil around livestock dips ar...
Another important aspect of urbanization is the increasing disposal of wastes to soils. It is estimated that 7–10 billion t of waste are produced annually from urban areas (Wilson et al., 2015). Given that waste production is strongly correlated with national income, waste production is increas...
Starting an organics recycling program at work is a great way to reduce your company's environmental impact and save money on waste disposal costs. Not only does it divert organic waste from the landfill, but it also produces a nutrient-rich soil amendment that can be used in landscaping and...
1.1.4 Impact of food waste disposal on public health Many studies have been focused on occupational health issues for human beings, animals, and birds particularly those living near the waste dumping site. In addition to carcinogenicity, many elements present in decomposed food waste could affect ...
There are numerous uses for this, including studies of radioactive waste disposal, gas and energy storage in geological reservoirs, and energy geostructures (Pham 2022a; Pereira 2023; Lupattelli et al. 2023; Pham and Sutman 2023a; Zhang et al. 2023; Sojoudi et al. 2024). In contrast ...
The presence of MP in freshwater is primarily caused by improper disposal of land-based plastic wastes, leading to its breakdown into smaller particles in the freshwater environments. Sewage discharge is a major source of MP in freshwater [39]. Although wastewater treatment plants treat various dome...
They want to reduce input cost: produce worm castings instead of buying them. To turn organic waste into a revenue stream. To upcycle a resource instead of paying for the disposal. An educational vermicompost system to showcase versatility and composting feasibility. ...
Soil was commonly seen as a sink for these elements through industrial or waste disposal activities, which became soil pollutants (Ramos et al., 2016). However, soils could be the source of these REE through resource recovery (Lima and Ottosen, 2021) and sensors such as XRF, LIBS and MIR...
Riverine disposal, submarine disposal, wetland retention, backfilling, dry stacking, and storage behind dammed impoundments are the various approaches utilized for handling and storing tailings [94,95]. Storage of tailings behind dammed impoundments (frequently called ‘tailings ponds’ or ‘tailings dam...
Organochlorine pesticides have been used heavily in the U.S. to combat a variety of insect pests. Pesticides have contaminated soils throughout chemical production facilities and from the disposal of container and spray equipment rinsewaters. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has banned ...
