Hazardous waste chemicals, as defined in the RCRA, are present in household products. They are not, however, regulated under the RCRA (Slack, 2007). Therefore, formal monitoring and disposal of HHW is non-existent, and we do not have a firm idea of how much HHWs are deposited in ...
by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) who raised concerns surrounding the proper disposal of pharmaceutical waste and mentions that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has increased enforcement activities related to pharmaceutical waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)....
ϐ Ǥ of these two destinations is regarded as an appropriate technique to treat e-waste, because it leads to resource loss and has the potential to negatively impact the ...
(1988)of the USGS, USA. It simulates steady and non-steady flow in three dimensions for an irregularly shaped flow system in which the aquifer layer can be confined, unconfined, or a combination of confined and unconfined. Flow from external sources, such as flow to wells, areal recharge,...
(Mt) of MPW were produced globally in 2015. In a business-as-usual scenario, this figure could triple to 155–265 Mt y−1by 2060. The future MPW load will continue to be disproportionately high in African and Asian continents even in the future years. However, we show that this ...
David B. Grove, chemical engineer, who served as the USGS technical officer for the study, stated that the direction and rate of migration of the injected wastes depend in part on the spatial variation of the preinjection pressure, temperature, and salt concentration and the changes in these ...
This approach is a novelty because all influential factors can be analysed at a much more discrete level (for each sub-zone), which, as a result, increases the precision of the solution. Many studies recognise the problem of waste scheduling as particularly important to the overall project ...
The resource recycling potential of BFS and SS is mainly based on the use of CaO as raw materials for cement production. It is assumed that once the BFS and SS are used for cement manufacturing, the corresponding amount of CO2 will be reduced based on the calcination reaction of CaCO3, ...
Sites 12 (Zone A, 2255 ha) and 15 (Zone B, 30 ha), with deeper groundwater tables and thicker clay layers, emerged as optimal choices for minimizing environmental risks and ensuring effective long-term waste disposal. This study successfully integrates remote sensing, geospatial data, and GIS...
which are generally subject to a range of over pressures such as drainage for agriculture, reclamation for urban expansion, or exposure to high-strength industrial effluents, can lead to a loss of natural wetland functioning and decline in their capacity to process wastewater as well as provide ot...
