Abstract:
Civil construction is considered a major generator of negative environmental impacts, whether due to the large consumption of natural resources or the generation of a large volume of waste, it is mainly related to the inadequate exploitation of natural resources, the forms of use and mainly to their inefficient disposal. This work aims to analyze through a literature review the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of incorporating different disposable materials applied in the production of ceramic bricks obtained by recycling.

Abstract:
There has been intensification regarding environmental consciousness in recent decades with increased attention on generated waste. This might not be one of the most imperative of problems but surely is the one that is most instantaneously manageable. An individual may not be directly influenced by global climate change, the destruction of the rain forests, disasters like Chernobyl and Bhopal; nevertheless, the constant disposal of garbage is happening endlessly, immediate to us and is definitely under our control. One of the prime reasons for the tremendous increase in solid waste is disposable products, that are readily availability and disposed after a single use. Use of disposable products in all areas from food packing, product packing, hospitals, etc., continues to increase despite limited landfill space and dwindling natural resources. This has led to the term “throw-away society.” In the present article, the authors focus on such products which are growing in the market and highlight the environmental effects once they are discarded. In this context, their efforts are to make significant contributions that could be applied to the support of designing and environmental labeling disposable products. This is in an effort to promote production and consumption of product options which can be characterized for lowering environmental impacts.

<p class="Default">Atualmente a problemática relacionada aos resíduos sólidos vem ganhando destaque no tocante à necessidade de gerenciamento integrado e aos impactos ambientais e os problemas de saúde pública. Nesse sentido torna-se necessário a implementação de medidas de gestão para a extinção de lixões à céu aberto. Com base nesse contexto, objetivou-se avaliar os impactos ambientais causados pela prática inadequada de disposição de resíduos sólidos a céu aberto da cidade de Humaitá-AM. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se na realização de visitas de campo e aplicação do método de avaliação de impactos ambientais conhecido por “Índice de Impacto” e o índice da qualidade de aterros de resíduos (IQAR) que permite avaliar as condições gerais da destinação final de resíduos sólidos urbanos, classificando os sistemas em condições adequadas, controladas e inadequadas. O lixão encontra-se em funcionamento inadequado, sem atender as regras de proteção ao meio ambiente, ocasionando assim inúmeros impactos ambientais, tais como: aumento dos processos erosivos do solo, compactação do solo, poluição do ar, poluição dos recursos hídricos, proliferação de micro e macrovetores, redução da biota do solo, stress da fauna local, poluição visual, contaminação dos catadores, entre outros. O valor do IQAR foi de 1,53, mostrando que as condições da área são inadequadas. Desta forma, é evidente a ação negativa do lixão devido à falta de manejo adequado, disposição final e políticas públicas voltadas ao gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos gerados na cidade. </p><p align="center"><strong><em>Environmental impacts of landfill of the city of Humaitá, A</em></strong><strong>mazonas<em></em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>Currently the problems related to solid waste has been gaining attention on the need for integrated management and environmental impacts and public health problems. In this sense it is necessary to implement management measures for putting out garbage dumps in the open air. Within this context, the objective was to evaluate the environmental impacts caused by the inadequate practice of open-air solid waste disposal in the city of Humaitá-AM. The methodology was based on carrying out field visits and application of evaluation method of environmental impact known as "Impact Index" and the quality of waste landfills index (IQAR) that evaluates the general conditions of disposal of municipal solid waste sorting systems under appropriate conditions, controlled and inadequate. The dump is in malfunction, without considering the environmental protection rules, thus causing numerous environmental impacts, such as increased erosion of soil, soil compaction, air pollution, water pollution, proliferation micro and macrovetores, reduced soil biota, stress the local wildlife, visual pollution, contamination of collectors, among others. The value of IQAR was 1.53, showing that the conditions are inadequate area. Thus, it is clear the negative action of the landfill because of lack of proper management, disposal and public policies related to the management of solid waste generated in the city. </p>

Abstract:
The environmental impacts of waste disposal of polyethylene bags and seasonal variation of polyethylene disposal in Gusau City of Zamfara state, Nigeria was investigated. General public waste disposals from homes, schools and daily markets, were randomly selected for data collection. The data showed that polyethylene waste is generated more in the dry season than the wet season. The result also showed that table water sachet has 75% disposal. This is because, sachet water is cheap and consumed throughout the year with very little seasonal variation while at homes and markets also, displayed a very interesting pattern. The study revealed that in the market, polyethylene for table water sachets (10%) was the least, followed by ice cream sachets (6%), assorted items (5%) and biscuits wrappers (4%). On the other hand, the results showed that, at home, polyethylene for assorted items was the highest (61%), closely followed by biscuit wrappers (20%), table water sachets (14%) and ice cream wrappers (5%) respectively. Polyethylene waste poses various threats to public health and adversely affects flora and fauna as well as the environment especially when it is not appropriately collected and properly disposed. And based on this research, it was found that most of the public do not know the advantages, disadvantages and the health effects of rampant and improper disposal of polyethylene bags. It is concluded that aggressive campaign and enlightenment of the masses on the threats posed by polyethylene bags pollution should be carried out to prevent further negative environmental impact.

Patil, Anjali Narendra. "Delamination Detection in Concrete Using Disposable Impactors for Excitation." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2013. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3885.

Full text
Abstract:
Delaminations in concrete bridge decks result primarily from corrosion of the reinforcing bars (or rebar). This corrosion leads to volumetric expansion of the rebar. When the rebar expands, concrete cracks, and there is a localized separation of the concrete cover from the underlying concrete. Impact-echo testing is an effective technique to map delaminations on concrete bridge decks. However, mapping speed is limited by necessary retrieval of the impactor for traditional tests. To achieve higher scanning speeds, it is advantageous to use both a non-contact measurement (air-coupled impact-echo) and disposable-impactor excitation. Disposable impactors have the potential advantage of achieving greater deck scanning speeds because they do not need to be retrieved, and they can also be used with air-coupled measurement systems. This thesis reports impact excitation of concrete using disposable impactors such as water droplets and ice balls. The impact characteristics of these impactors are compared with those of steel balls and chain links. Comparing the acoustic recordings on intact and delaminated concrete surface shows that water droplets and ice balls are able to excite flexural resonant modes associated with delamination defects. The use of water droplets and ice balls for shallow delamination detection in concrete is thus demonstrated.

Abstract:
The most important thermal, chemical, physical, and biological methods for treating hazardous wastes and the fate of their land-disposed residues are reviewed and evaluated. Technologies are described as major, minor, and emerging according to their stage of development or application to hazardous waste; major ones include rotary kiln, liquid injection, and cement kiln incineration; neutralization, chemical oxidation-reduction, and ion exchange; filtration, distillation and settling techniques; and activated sludge, aerated lagoon, and landfarming treatment. Emerging technologies include molten salt and fluidized- bed combustion, liquid-ion extraction and other processes, none of which are considered to be outside the realm of current or future economic feasibility. In addition, waste reduction strategies and the land burial of stabilized/solidified wastes are discussed. Residues from these technologies vary widely according to waste type and composition, but a common component in many of them is heavy metals, which, as elements, cannot be further degraded to other products. The results of the available literature suggests that these metals will be retained in clay liners beneath a landfill through the mechanism of cation exchange, with the adsorption of metals favored by their smaller hydrated size, lower heat of hydration, and in some cases, higher valences than the naturally occurring alkali earth metals. Other important factors include ionic activity, the pH and ionic strength of the solution, the presence of complexing agents, and the possible surface heterogeneity of the clay. In soils, metal binding through cation exchange with clay is augmented by adsorption onto iron and manganese oxides and complexing with organic matter such as humic acids. Many field studies with landfarmed metal-bearing wastes show that these mechanisms are usually sufficient to retain metals to within several inches of their zone of application.

Abstract:
The siting of municipal solid waste disposal facilities is often unsuccessful or delayed because of host community opposition. Physical, economic, social and political impacts of landfill and an incinerator site are identified, assessed and combined in a rational model to explain the cause of opposition. Residents' beliefs about facility impacts correspond well with the assessed physical impacts at the landfill in identifying odor, birds, traffic, water emissions and explosion risks as negative impacts and convenient disposal as a benefit. At the incinerator, common resident beliefs comprise odors, noise, traffic and air emissions as negative impacts and energy recovery as a benefit. Underlying these obvious physical impacts, however is a group of non-physical beliefs about the harm to community image, loss of control, unfairness, and property value losses in the host community. These non-physical impacts influence the attitude about the facility as strongly as the physical impacts. Finally, exposure to obvious physical impacts is shown to negatively influence the beliefs about physical and non-physical (economic, social and political) impacts. Thus, by screening the host community from obvious physical impacts (nuisances), the beliefs about community image, control, fairness and property values can be enhanced. Since negative attitude and opposition action are strongest prior to facility construction, the siting efforts need to be focused on this period. After construction, the host community adapts to the new situation. The facility impacts are combined into a model to define a criterion for acceptance. The net value of facility impacts and benefits must reach or exceed in value the narrow tolerance range at the original host community reference point to avoid significant host community opposition. Impact reduction rather than compensation is theoretically shown to be the more effective approach to fulfilling the acceptance criterion. This approach is empirically tested at typical waste facility sites. Despite higher costs for prevention and emission control methods to reduce physical and non-physical impacts, these methods are shown to be superior to mitigation and compensation in gaining community acceptance. Based on the conclusions, the policy statement on waste facility sitings recommends first, defining entitlements and rules for the siting process, establishing increasing waste reduction and separation in a waste management plan, and using participative community planning as long-term, preventive facility siting measures. Short term siting measures comprise, the negotiation of siting agreements, the use of best available technical emission controls and continued monitoring by an overview committee. The focused use of prevention and control measures to address host community concerns can substantially enhance community acceptance of municipal solid waste facilities.

Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Farmacêuticas
Tendo em conta o crescimento populacional e os avanços da Ciência e da Tecnologia, verificou-se uma melhoria da qualidade de vida da sociedade e, em simultâneo, um aumento acrescido nas prescrições médicas e no consumo de fármacos, a nível mundial. Este aumento no consumo de fármacos culminou num acumular excessivo deste género de resíduos e em impactes ambientais, resultantes do mesmo, consideravelmente preocupantes. As práticas menos corretas de deposição dos resíduos de fármacos e suas embalagens, bem como os consequentes impactes ambientais e na saúde pública, obrigaram as autoridades de cada país a reeducar a sua população, incentivando-a com medidas de reutilização e reciclagem dos resíduos. A implementação de programas eficientes de gestão deste género de resíduos, que assentem na responsabilização de todos os intervenientes na Sociedade, é extremamente relevante para a solução desta problemática. A quantidade de fármacos encontrada no meio ambiente, hoje em dia, é bastante alarmante. Neste sentido, analisou-se ao longo do trabalho a situação preocupante da excessiva prescrição e respetivo consumo de fármacos, a nível mundial. Para além disso, analisaram-se os principais meios de deposição/eliminação dos resíduos de fármacos e suas embalagens, com o intuito de avaliar o estado de consciência da população relativamente aos impactes destes resíduos na sua saúde e no ambiente, promovendo a sua responsabilidade na gestão dos mesmos. Verificou-se que a grande maioria da população, apesar de ter consciência dos impactes ambientais e na saúde pública provocados pela presença destes resíduos no ambiente, continuam maioritariamente a eliminá-los a partir dos resíduos ou esgotos domésticos. Perante esta realidade, salienta-se a implementação de campanhas esclarecedoras que informem os utentes acerca dos procedimentos mais corretos relativamente à deposição destes resíduos e apresentam-se exemplos de programas de gestão de resíduos de alguns países, os quais definem as responsabilidades associadas a cada interveniente do processo. A gestão dos resíduos de fármacos e suas embalagens em Portugal é abordada mais pormenorizadamente, referindo-se o caso da Sociedade Gestora de Resíduos de Embalagens e Medicamentos (VALORMED) que assegura a recolha seletiva, a retoma e a reciclagem destes resíduos. Taking into account the population growth and the advances in Science and Technology, there has been an improvement in the quality of life in society and, simultaneously, an increase in the consumption of drugs worldwide. This increase in the consumption of drugs has resulted in an excessive amount of this kind of waste and disturbing environmental impacts. The less correct waste disposal practices of drugs and packaging and the consequent environmental impacts and public health issues require the authorities in each country to re-educate its population, with measures encouraging waste reuse, recycling and energy recovery. The implementation of efficient management programs of this kind of waste, which rely on the accountability of all actors in society, is extremely relevant to the solution of this problem. The amount of drugs found in the environment today, is quite disturbing. In this sense, and throughout this work, the situation of excessive prescription and consumption of drugs worldwide was analysed. In addition, the main means of disposal of pharmaceutical waste and packaging were analysed, in order to assess the state of awareness of the population regarding the impacts of this waste on people´s health and in the environment, promoting the responsibility in management. Despite awareness of environmental and public health impacts caused by the presence of these pharmaceuticals wastes in the environment, the vast majority of population eliminates them thought household sewage. Given this reality, it is important to emphasize the implementation of enlightening campaigns that so, inform users about the correct procedures for the deposition of these wastes and some examples are shown of waste management programs in some countries, defining the responsibilities associated with each of the players in the process. Waste management and packaging of drugs in Portugal is discussed in more detail, citing the case of the Sociedade Gestora de Resíduos de Embalagens e Medicamentos (VALORMED) ensuring separate collection, recovery and recycling of this waste.

Full text
Abstract:
Tatera brantsii was numerically dominant in the small mammal community on the plateaux of the rehabilitated ash disposal sites of ESKOM's Hendrina Power Station in 1998 and 1999 (Vermaak 2000). The species seemed well adapted to exploit this environment and, through biopedturbation, had altered the topsoil structure and chemistry. The consequences of this and other activities also affected the rehabilitated plant community of the PFA-dam habitat. Burrowing appeared limited to just under the topsoil layer, and seemed more extensive than burrows of this species in natural ecosystems. The burrow system architecture was mapped and quantified, and localised increases in nitrates, phosphorous and organic carbon in immediately associated substrate were noted. However, this substrate enrichment was transient, and disappeared following the abandonment, and subsequent collapse of burrow systems, when gerbil colonies migrated away from the area. The mixing of soil horizons also resulted in a more homogeneous substrate, which was more friable, and thus drier. The high pH and salinity of the topsoil layer in areas undisturbed by gerbil burrowing, and concentrations of particular elements associated with either the topsoil covering or the ash, were reduced as a consequence of substrate mixing in disturbed areas. Gerbil impacts on the substrate of this habitat seemed to promote pedogenesis, eliminating the sharp distinction between the topsoil covering and the ash below, but the re-exposed ash of the burrow mounds would become subject to erosion, and reduce the effectiveness of the rehabilitation effort. Gerbil activities increased the number of plant species, especially ruderal forbs, comprising the plant community of the PFA-dam habitat, but plant community diversity was not significantly increased. However, numerical dominance by few tussock grass species was diminished , possibly reflecting burial under mounds of excavated substrate. The biomass and cover of some grass species were reduced in areas of gerbil impacts, and plant lifecycles appeared to be completed sooner in areas affected by gerbil activities. These effects may be as a result of the drier substrate produced following the collapse of the extensive network of abandoned burrows. The succession of this plant community towards an underutilised grassland state, the expected outcome of the rehabilitation effort, was minimally affected by gerbil activities. The effects of T.brantsii activities in this PFA-dam habitat were not as distinct as the effects noted by other authors studying fossorial rodent impacts in less disturbed habitats. This could be because further disturbances in this habitat would merely add to the currently disturbed state, whereas disturbance in more natural habitats, would show more of a change from the initial state.

Abstract:
Both the dredging operations and the management of dredged materials may have heavy impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems. Dredged materials, in particular, have been considered for a very long time nothing more than a waste meant for disposal. Now the time has come to move from the ‘disposal approach’ to the ‘waste recovery’ or, even better, to the ‘waste can be a non-waste’ ones. Unfortunately, the management of dredged materials is committed to a congeries of rules, which build up a framework of law that appears plainly fragmentary and incoherent. The road is still long (and winding).

Abstract:
AbstractThe 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence resulted in severe loss and disruption in Christchurch, New Zealand due to liquefaction and damage from strong shaking. Following the earthquake, over 60% of concrete buildings with 3 + stories in the Christchurch CBD were demolished, resulting in a widespread displacement of people and business, an excess of $NZD 40 billion in losses, and significant environmental impacts from the demolition. Following the event, it was revealed that environmental impacts were not a direct consideration in demolition decision making. This paper provides a quantitative evaluation of the environmental impacts of the demolitions in Christchurch to highlight the importance of including environmental considerations when deciding between repair or demolition of a damaged building. First, the quantitative and qualitative factors that led to the demolitions following the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence are discussed to provide context for the argument that environmental impacts should be included in such considerations. Next, the environmental impacts of building demolitions in Christchurch are presented in terms of the embodied CO2 and energy in the building materials; the demolition process and waste disposal are not considered in this initial evaluation. Finally, a brief discussion on incorporating environmental impacts into the demolition decision making paradigm is presented. Moreover, consideration of environmental impacts of demolitions supports the need to move toward low-damage design in the future evolution of building codes.

Abstract:
Abstract Although Japan’s current carbon tax rate is much lower than the rates applied in European countries, the Japanese government may increase the tax rate in the near future, in order to strengthen measures to combat global warming. Since a country’s carbon-pricing policy does not distort its economy, it is considered to be an efficient policy measure. However, the burden of carbon pricing varies across regions and across households. Since low-income households generally allocate a larger proportion of their disposable income to energy costs than high-income households, the burden of carbon taxes on low-income households tends to be higher than for high-income households. In addition, households in cold regions spend more money for space heating, and those in rural areas spend more money for gasoline. Unless the government objectively analyzes the impact of carbon pricing and proposes convincing countermeasures to deal with these unequal impacts, the government is unlikely to obtain public support for a carbon tax increase. In this study, we analyze microlevel data from the Japanese National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure (NSFE) collected from 1989 to 2014, and examine how past energy price changes affected the welfare of different types of households. We then propose countermeasures to address the problems arising from the regressive nature of taxing energy use.

Abstract:
A project funded under the European Commission’s Phare Programme 2002 has undertaken an in-depth analysis of the operational and post-closure safety of the Baita Bihor repository. The repository has accepted low- and some intermediate-level radioactive waste from industry, medical establishments and research activities since 1985 and the current estimate is that disposals might continue for around another 20 to 35 years. The analysis of the operational and post-closure safety of the Baita Bihor repository was carried out in two iterations, with the second iteration resulting in reduced uncertainties, largely as a result taking into account new information on the hydrology and hydrogeology of the area, collected as part of the project. Impacts were evaluated for the maximum potential inventory that might be available for disposal to Baita Bihor for a number of operational and post-closure scenarios and associated conceptual models. The results showed that calculated impacts were below the relevant regulatory criteria. In light of the assessment, a number of recommendations relating to repository operation, optimisation of repository engineering and waste disposals, and environmental monitoring were made.

Abstract:
The UK’s Low Level Waste Repository Ltd submitted an Environmental Safety Case (ESC) for the disposal of low-level waste to the Environment Agency on the 1st of May 2011. The ESC is a major submission that will decide the future use of the Repository and has major implications for the success of the UK’s LLW Strategy and decommissioning programme. This paper provides an overview of the work that has been carried out to support the submission. Key aspects of this ESC include: • detailed investigations of existing disposals, based on careful examination of existing records and other investigations, including interviews with former operational staff; • analysis of uncertainties in future disposals; • modelling of the biogeochemical evolution of the disposal system, which provides understanding of the evolution of pH, Eh and gas generation and thence underpinning for radionuclide releases in groundwater and gas; • development of a 3-D groundwater flow model, calibrated against observed heads and with a detailed representation of the engineered features; • analysis of coastal erosion and its impacts; • a major focus on optimisation based on detailed technical studies; • a conclusion that existing disposals do not require remediation; • the choice of a concrete vault design with permeable side walls designed to avoid bathtubbing after the end of management control; • a comprehensive set of assessment calculations, including thorough analysis of uncertainties, which demonstrate consistency with the Environment Agency’s risk and dose guidance levels; • revision of the LLWR’s WAC, based in part on the use of the ‘sum of fractions’ approach; • the use of a safety case document structure that emphasises key safety arguments in a Level 1 document and provides supporting evidence in a series of Level 2 documents; • the provision of a Level 2 document that describes in detail how each aspect of the regulatory guidance has been addressed. In the future, the 2011 ESC will be maintained using a formal system of change control. It will be used as a tool for decision making concerning the future development of the LLWR and waste acceptance.

Abstract:
The confined disposal facilities (CDFs) are the areas along Calcasieu Ship Channel to store dredged sediments from the ship channel. As the sediments settle in the CDFs, the low concentration sediment flows are discharged into the open water adjacent to the CDFs. The paper demonstrates flow and sediment transport characteristics in the open water due to the CDF discharge. The sediment distributions in all three dimensions in the water are revealed. The lake current effects were also investigated. A commercial CFD package ANSYS-FLUENT is used to simulate all cases in this study.
