Waste Disposal The massive amount of waste generated every day is a hallmark of affluent‚ modern society. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)‚ municipal solid waste--a combination of household and commercial refuse--amounts to about 180 million metric tons per year in the United States. That equals almost two-thirds of a ton of garbage for each individual every year. It represents nearly twice as much waste per capita as Europe or Japan‚ and five to ten times as much as most

WASTE MANAGEMENT With a population of over 1.2 billion‚ rapid urbanization and modernization of India is simply inevitable. Most of the cities are under-prepared for the rapid growth‚ because the infrastructure lacks serious development. Waste Management has become a matter of great concern to most city corporations‚ and there have been some instances of management collapse even in metropolitan cities in the year 2012. All this build-up took place within a single decade‚ which is why many corporations

BIOMEDICAL WASTE 1)Introduction: Biomedical waste‚ also known as infectious waste or medical waste‚ is defined as solid waste generated during the diagnosis‚ testing‚ treatment‚ research or production of biological products for humans or animals. Biomedical waste includes syringes‚ live vaccines‚ laboratory samples‚ body parts‚ bodily fluids and waste‚ sharp needles‚ cultures and lancets. Biomedical waste consists of solids‚ liquids‚ sharps‚ and laboratory waste that are potentially infectious

Individual solid particles are characterised by their size‚ shape‚ and density. 1.1 Particle shape The shape of an individual particle is expressed in terms of the sphericity F s‚ which is independent of particle size. The sphericity of a particle is the ratio of the surface-volume ratio of a sphere with equal volume as the particle and the surface-volume ratio of the particle. For a spherical particle of diameter D p‚ F s =1; for a non-spherical particle‚ the sphericity is defined as Dp:

result to production of wastes and deploring public health conditions. Furthermore‚ as development progresses‚ population also grows; and apparently population growth directly affects generation of wastes‚ be it solid or liquid. As a result‚ some of the offensive wastes during the first half of this century were hazardous. Indeed‚ rapid urbanization‚ population growth and changes in lifestyles in low- and middle-income countries contribute to increasing the per capita domestic waste generation. In fact

Throughout most of history‚ the amount of waste generated by humans was insignificant due to low population density and low societal levels of the exploitation of natural resources. Common waste produced during pre-modern times was mainly ashes and human biodegradable waste‚ and these were released back into the ground locally‚ with minimum environmental impact. Tools made out of wood or metal were generally reused or passed down through the generations. However‚ some civilizations do seem to
