We introduce the concept of evaluating the Environmental-Resource Interacting Attribute (ERIA) of waste from the perspective of “difficulty”, which refers to the inherent challenges in resource recovery and environmental impact mitigation. This difficulty arises from factors such as the composition of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
From introduction: As a result of recently initiated programs such as the San Francisco Bay Region Environment and Resources Planning Study, planners in the San Francisco Bay region are becoming increasingly aware of the types and possible uses earth-science data. These data encompasses a wide spect...
(UNEP;SAARC, 2009; World Bank Group, 2015). Withclimate changeat bay, urban growth and resource management is a major challenge to the rising economies, especially in the developing countries. SouthAsia, defined geographically as the region of Asia that includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, ...
In a business-as- usual scenario, this figure could triple to 155–265 Mt y−1 by 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 growth in plastic waste can be reduced if ...
sophisticated processes [9,10,11]. The potential of utilizing metallurgical sludge waste lies in its use as a substitute for natural sand in concrete compositions, thereby addressing both waste management and resource conservation aspects. By incorporating metallurgical sludge waste as a partial or ...
As a result, e-waste has become one of the fastest increasing waste streams worldwide (Kumar et al., 2017). Extensive literatures have reported precious metals recycling from e-waste (Tanskanen, 2013; Rocchetti et al., 2013; Khaliq et al., 2014). Various recycling technologies have ...
