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.

Abstract:
<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.

Abstract:
Indonesia is recognized as a country with high potential in maritime resources. However, Indonesia is also known as the second-largest contributor to plastic waste in the ocean. It is estimated that Indonesia contributes around 200,000 tonnes of plastic disposals. The highest pollutant of the plastic product was found to be cigarette butts. The trillions of cigarette butts generate chemical contamination the ocean waters. Chemicals that leach from the cigarette butts are extremely toxic to the aquatic life in the ocean. The marine pollution caused by this contamination was never seriously noticed, even though the huge number of cigarette butts were found in the sea. A grave concern should be shown on the impacts of the cigarette butts to the ocean. The objective of this article is to elaborate on Indonesian law dealing with the issue the cigarette butt pollution contaminating the oceans of Indonesia.This article is the result of normative research which analyzes exiting statutes and cases that aims at protecting the marine ecosystem from the cigarette filter disposal. This research attempts to analyze the existing laws and regulations in Indonesia on the protection of the marine ecosystem from toxic and hazardous wastes, especially from cigarette butts waste disposal. The results of this study show that to date there is no specific regulation dealing with tobacco waste product disposals. Accordingly, the government is suggested to enact a set of specific and effective regulations pertaining to tobacco waste products as done by some developed countries or states such as Singapore and Australia, so that marine pollution caused by cigarette butts could be prevented.

Abstract:
Purpose Corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaigns have become increasingly popular among fashion apparel brands to reduce environmental impacts of their operations and position themselves as sustainable. In light of attribution theory, this paper aims to investigate how aspects of a CSR campaign affect consumers’ perceptions of brand authenticity, brand attitudes and CSR attitudes. Design/methodology/approach This research is based on a 2 (brand image: sustainable vs disposable brand) × 2 (message source: brand website vs news article) between-subjects experimental design with random assignment to conditions and manipulation checks. Findings When exposed to messages about CSR campaigns, consumers have more favorable perceptions of brand authenticity, brand attitudes and CSR attitudes for a sustainable brand than for a disposable brand, particularly when consumers view information about a CSR campaign on the brand’s website. However, this is not true for disposable brands when CSR campaigns are promoted through a news source. Practical implications Sustainable brands can derive benefits by strategically partnering with causes through CSR campaigns, particularly when their campaigns are promoted through their brand’s website (vs news source). However, brands that offer disposable products (e.g. fast fashion brands) should exercise caution when implementing these campaigns; CSR campaigns may confuse customers as they do not align with the everyday practices of disposable brands. Originality/value As the apparel industry faces increased scrutiny for negative impacts on the environment, this study helps to understand whether customers perceive CSR campaigns as trustworthy and authentic, or as ploys aimed at creating more positive brand images.

Abstract:
Waste management (WM) is a demanding undertaking in all countries, with important implications for human health, environmental preservation, sustainability and circular economy. The method of sanitary landfilling for final disposal of waste remains a generally accepted and used method but the available scientific evidence on the waste-related environmental and health effects is not conclusive. Comparative studies of various WM methods (landfilling, incineration, composting etc.) show that among the municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment and disposal technological options, sanitary landfilling or open dumping is popular in most countries because of the relative low cost and low-technical requirement. The European Union (EU) Directive on waste landfills has introduced specific goals for reducing the volume of disposed waste and very strict requirements for landfilling and landfill sites. Evaluation of the impact of landfills on the environment is a crucial topic in the literature and has received increased attention recently, given growing environmental concerns. The main goal of this survey was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of possible impacts of MSW landfills on the environment. The main conclusion of the overall assessment of the literature is that the disposal of MSW in landfills entails a number of environmental risks but with respect to the current situation and rich style of living adopted in industrially developed countries, the idea of WM systems functioning without landfilling—at least in the foreseeable future within one generation—seems to be somewhat unreal. The results also provided important information of landfills as a source of environmental risk. Results of this research may have an important impact on landfill management and the disposal of waste. From the literature review, it is evident that even if high levels of waste avoidance, reuse and recycling are achieved, some waste materials will always need to be forwarded for disposal.

RESUMO O rompimento de barragens de rejeitos é alvo de preocupação em função do alto dano potencial associado, sendo necessária uma avaliação de previsão de impactos que permita melhor caracterização da área a jusante, e que a coleta de dados seja realizada pelos órgãos fiscalizadores, e não por parte dos empreendedores. Este trabalho teve por objetivo propor uma classificação dos impactos decorrentes de rompimentos desses barramentos, tendo como referência as avaliações de danos adotadas pelas legislações de segurança de barragens no Brasil. Para isso, foi elaborada uma tabela de critérios e subcritérios com os parâmetros que influenciam na determinação dos impactos causados, os quais foram hierarquizados por meio da aplicação do Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), proposto por Saaty (1991). Para determinação dos valores de importância de cada impacto, utilizou-se a técnica Ad-Hoc por meio da dinâmica do brainstorming, com profissionais que realizaram julgamentos a partir de comparações paritárias dos critérios adotados. A ocupação humana na área a jusante, como observado nas legislações, apresentou o maior peso. O volume do reservatório e os impactos no meio socioeconômico apresentaram pesos inferiores aos impactos nos meios físico e biótico, contrastando com as legislações. A aplicação da metodologia em barragem do Quadrilátero Ferrífero comprovou a coerência do índice de impactos ambientais (IA) proposto, indicando as fragilidades da área atingida. O detalhamento da área a jusante permitiu identificar aspectos que podem potencializar ou amortizar os impactos, como periculosidade do rejeito, volume do reservatório e proximidade de centros urbanos.

Abstract:
Disposable absorbent hygiene products have evolved for superior performance, enhancing the convenience of daily lives. However, the use of disposable hygiene pads has brought safety concerns on chemical exposure, and significant efforts have been made to assess the potential risks associated with use of hygiene pads. This article intends to overview the safety assessment framework of diapers and feminine pads, which includes hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment, risk characterization, and post-market risk management. Risk assessment of various constituents are reviewed for quantification methods and conservative estimation of exposure parameters. By reviewing the up-to-date considerations in risk assessment, we aim to provide insightful discussion on safety evaluation of current versions of disposable absorbent products. More clinical testing and post-market surveillance are needed for continuous monitoring of potential health impacts of advanced products and constituents.

Abstract:
Background While petroleum-based plastics are extensively used in health care, recent developments in biopolymer manufacturing have created new opportunities for increased integration of biopolymers into medical products, devices and services. This study compared the environmental impacts of single-use disposable devices with increased biopolymer content versus typically manufactured devices in hysterectomy. Methods A comparative life cycle assessment of single-use disposable medical products containing plastic(s) versus the same single-use medical devices with biopolymers substituted for plastic(s) at Magee-Women’s Hospital (Magee) in Pittsburgh, PA and the products used in four types of hysterectomies that contained plastics potentially suitable for biopolymer substitution. Magee is a 360-bed teaching hospital, which performs approximately 1400 hysterectomies annually. Results There are life cycle environmental impact tradeoffs when substituting biopolymers for petroplastics in procedures such as hysterectomies. The substitution of biopolymers for petroleum-based plastics increased smog-related impacts by approximately 900% for laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomies, and increased ozone depletion-related impacts by approximately 125% for laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomies. Conversely, biopolymers reduced life cycle human health impacts, acidification and cumulative energy demand for the four hysterectomy procedures. The integration of biopolymers into medical products is correlated with reductions in carcinogenic impacts, non-carcinogenic impacts and respiratory effects. However, the significant agricultural inputs associated with manufacturing biopolymers exacerbate environmental impacts of products and devices made using biopolymers. Conclusions The integration of biopolymers into medical products is correlated with reductions in carcinogenic impacts, non-carcinogenic impacts and respiratory effects; however, the significant agricultural inputs associated with manufacturing biopolymers exacerbate environmental impacts.

Abstract:
RESUMO A geração de energia fotovoltaica vem crescendo no Brasil, e a capacidade instalada de usinas fotovoltaicas (UFV) deve superar 3 GW em alguns anos. Essa tecnologia causa menor impacto ambiental do que formas de geração tradicionais, como termoelétricas e hidroelétricas. Entretanto os impactos quando da implantação de UFV devem ser considerados no licenciamento ambiental. No Brasil, não há uma legislação federal que estabeleça critérios mínimos para esse tipo de licenciamento. Alguns estados criaram legislações próprias, que divergem nas exigências e critérios adotados. Essa disparidade causa insegurança no processo de licenciamento, dificuldade na aprovação dos estudos, aumento de custos e prazos, podendo inviabilizar empreendimentos. Neste estudo foram analisadas e comparadas as legislações em 12 estados, nas quais está previsto o desenvolvimento de UFV, como base para propor critérios claros, objetivos e padronizados para o enquadramento legal das UFV. Como resultado desta pesquisa, propõe-se o enquadramento como de baixo impacto, com licenciamento simplificado e emissão de licença prévia (LP) e licença de instalação (LI) em etapa única. Os critérios para enquadramento de porte são potência instalada e área diretamente ocupada. Para potencial poluidor, os critérios são necessidade de supressão de vegetação nativa (e/ou em área de preservação permanente - APP) e localização em área de fragilidade socioambiental. A avaliação conjunta desses critérios define qual o estudo ambiental necessário ao licenciamento. O trabalho lista os principais aspectos e impactos ambientais a serem abordados em tais estudos. Estes critérios unificados formam uma ferramenta para promover tanto o desenvolvimento de UFV como a proteção do meio ambiente com minimização de possíveis impactos.

Abstract:
Resíduos eletroeletrônicos (REEs), conhecidos como electronic waste (e-waste), correspondem a aparelhos elétricos e eletrônicos que são descartados como lixo. Sua quantidade e toxicidade representam um desafio para o gerenciamento destes resíduos em ambientes urbanos. Este estudo é uma revisão de literatura, que objetiva a caracterização da trajetória, obsolescência e descarte de produtos eletroeletrônicos, com ênfase nos problemas legais, ambientais e de saúde pública, decorrentes do seu mau gerenciamento. As informações foram obtidas através de consulta nas bases Science Direct, ResearchGate e Google Scholar, publicados, majoritariamente, a partir de 2000. Considerando o desenvolvimento tecnológico e a geração de resíduos eletroeletrônicos, a partir da digitalização de produtos tradicionalmente elétricos e da adoção de um estilo de vida consumista, por parte da sociedade, significativas quantidades de REEs foram sendo geradas a partir da década de 1970. A composição dos resíduos eletroeletrônicos é bastante variada, a depender do tipo de produto que o gerou, sendo prevalentes os metais, aumentando os impactos ambientais. A reciclagem clandestina de REEs, crescente em países em desenvolvimento, devido à mão de obra barata e ausência ou baixo controle legal da atividade, tem causado graves problemas de poluição ambiental e para a saúde humana. Muitos países desenvolvidos utilizam dispositivos legais para o gerenciamento dos REEs, geralmente baseados na responsabilidade do produtor. A gestão de resíduos sólidos tem um marco legal importante no gerenciamento desses materiais através da criação de políticas públicas. Acordos firmados entre governos, empresas, cooperativas e consumidores, relacionados ao gerenciamento de REEs, permitem a aplicação de processos adequados de logística reversa. A B S T R A C TElectronic waste (REE or e-waste), corresponds to electrical and electronic devices that are disposed of as waste. Their quantity and toxicity present a challenge for the management of this waste in urban environments. This study is a literature review that aims to characterize the trajectory, obsolescence, and disposal of electronic products, emphasizing on legal, environmental and public health problems due to poor management. The information was obtained by consulting Science Direct, ResearchGate and Google Scholar databases, published mainly after 2000. Considering the technological development and the generation of electrical and electronic waste, from the digitalization of traditional electrical products and the adoption of a consumer lifestyle, significant quantities of REEs were generated from the 1970s onwards. The e-waste is quite varied, depending on the type of product that generated it, being metals prevalent, increasing the environmental impacts. Clandestine recycling of REEs, rising in developing countries due to cheap labor and absence or poor legal control of the activity, has provoked serious problems of environmental pollution and to human health. Many developed countries use legal devices for the management of REEs, usually based on producer responsibility. Solid waste management has an essential legal framework for the management of these materials through the creation of public policies. Agreements signed between governments, companies, cooperatives and consumers, related to the management of REEs, allow the application of appropriate reverse logistics processes.Keywords: e-waste, toxicity, illegal recycling, reverse logistic.

Abstract:
RESUMO Este trabalho teve como objetivos identificar e avaliar os potenciais impactos da produção de ração para frango de corte com a metodologia de avaliação do ciclo de vida. A coleta de dados primários foi realizada em uma cooperativa de avicultores de Teresina (PI) e envolveu a identificação das matérias-primas, além de sua origem e quantidade, e de etapas do processo produtivo. Também, foram utilizados dados secundários do banco de dados Ecoinvent, disponível no software SimaPro, com o qual foi executada a modelagem do processo, pela qual identificamos as entradas e saídas do sistema. O método de avaliação usado foi o ReCiPe Midpoind (H). A caracterização da avaliação de impacto mostrou que os impactos mais significativos estão relacionados à utilização de ingredientes com maior teor de energia e proteína, como milho e soja. Isso se dá em razão dos impactos ambientais negativos associados à produção agrícola desses materiais (dados do Ecoinvent), além do seu transporte entre as fazendas (Uruçuí e Sebastião Leal, região sul do Piauí) e a fábrica de ração (a aproximadamente 520 km de distância de Teresina). Desse modo, são impactos ligados às atividades que ocorrem fora dos limites da cooperativa. Além disso, a utilização da farinha feita com carne e ossos, subproduto oriundo de abatedouros, determinou o aparecimento de impactos ambientais positivos em todas as categorias do método utilizado, com destaque para: eutrofização de corpos de água doce, ecotoxicidade marinha e depleção da camada de ozônio. O reaproveitamento desses subprodutos (farinha feita com carne e ossos) é ambientalmente vantajoso.

Abstract:
This article reviews evidence for the public health impacts of coal across the extraction, processing, use, and waste disposal continuum. Surface coal mining and processing impose public health risks on residential communities through air and water pollution. Burning coal in power plants emits more nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and heavy metals per unit of energy than any other fuel source and impairs global public health. Coal ash disposal exposes communities to heavy metals and particulate matter waste. Use of coal in domestic households causes public health harm concentrated in developing nations. Across the coal continuum, adverse impacts are disproportionately felt by persons of poor socioeconomic status, contributing to health inequities. Despite efforts to develop renewable energy sources, coal use has not declined on a global scale. Concentrated efforts to eliminate coal as an energy source are imperative to improve public health and avert serious climate change consequences.

Abstract:
The impacts of unloaded quantity, disposable personal income, retail price index of fresh potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), and seasonal monthly variables on sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] price in the St. Louis and Chicago terminal markets were estimated using a regression analysis technique. These markets can absorb a modest increase in sweetpotato quantity without a decrease in wholesale price, but a significant increase in quantity would decrease wholesale price. Sweetpotato price is higher during October, November, and December than in September; therefore, producers must give attention to marketing sweetpotatoes during these months. Also, increased shipments of sweetpotatoes to these markets should not be considered in anticipation of an increase in disposable income.

<p class="E-JOURNALAbstractBodyEnglish">With regard to the environment, waste has a wide impact such as environmental pollution. Development of monitoring in terms of pengelolahan and conservation of river ecosystems needs to be done, the habit of disposing waste disposable diapers is certainly very dangerous to the quality of river water and for the sustainability of the river in the future, because disposable diapers are disposable waste products that contain dirt (stool) and urine from infants, which can have a negative impact on the community's most potent impacts of river pollution. The use of reuse diapers in modern packaging is a product that has long-term economic value because it can be reused, in addition to having medical benefits compared to disposable diapers, is also an important concept to educate the public about the benefits of reuse diapers on the environment. An activity is needed to understand the importance of protecting the environment by reducing the use of disposable diapers, in order to realize Sustainable Development or future sustainable development. The methods used in this research are: lectures through counseling and qualitative descriptive, Counseling is used to give an overview of the effect of disposable diaper use and the solution through the use of reuse diapers, and descriptive qualitative to analyze the outcomes of early and late community understanding before and after being given counseling. The result of the research shows that the society understanding is reduced by 88,2% for the not understood category seen from the first oral test of the end, for the sufficient understanding category increased by 11,7%, the criterion of understanding increased 17,6%, and for category very understand from the previous 0% increased his understanding by 58.9%.</p>

Abstract:
Due to their properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in consumer products. The widespread use of these products leads to the release of such nanoparticles into the environment, during manufacturing, use, and disposal stages. Currently there is a high margin of uncertainty about the impacts of nano products on the environment and human health. Therefore, different approaches including life cycle assessment (LCA) are being used to evaluate the environmental and health impacts of these products. In this paper, a comparison between four different AgNP synthesis methods was conducted. In addition, four textile products that contain AgNPs were subjected to comparison using LCA analysis to assess their environmental and public health impacts using SimaPro modeling platform. Study results indicate that using alternative methods (green) to AgNPs synthesis will not necessarily reduce the environmental impacts of the synthesizing process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has compared and assessed the environmental burdens associated with different nanosilver-based textile products at different disposal scenarios. The synthesis of 1 kg of AgNPs using modified Tollens’ method resulted in 580 kg CO2 eq, while 531 kg CO2 eq resulted from the chemical approach. Furthermore, the manufacturing stage had the highest overall impacts as compared to other processes during the life cycle of the product, while the product utilization and disposal stages had the highest impacts on ecotoxicity. Sensitivity analysis revealed that under the two disposal scenarios of incineration and landfilling, the impacts were sensitive to the amount of AgNPs.

RESUMO A avaliação de impacto ambiental é um instrumento determinante para a implantação ou não de todos os tipos de empreendimentos que possam causar algum desequilíbrio no meio ambiente circundante. O Brasil é conhecido pela sua rigorosa legislação de proteção ambiental, exigindo projetos minuciosos que proporcionem o desenvolvimento sustentável no local de implantação. Dessa maneira, é exigido das usinas hidroelétricas brasileiras o Estudo de Impacto Ambiental. No presente trabalho foram avaliados os estudos ambientais referentes a 30 usinas hidroelétricas brasileiras, disponíveis no banco de dados do Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA), com o objetivo de avaliar temporal e quantitativamente os parâmetros hidrológicos abordados nos estudos de impacto ambiental. As usinas hidroelétricas são inseridas diretamente nos cursos d’água, intervindo ou sendo influenciadas diretamente pela precipitação, vazão e depósito de sedimentos. Os resultados mostraram que há uma tendência de adoção dos parâmetros. A criação de uma legislação que exija estudos de determinadas variáveis pode facilitar a comparação futura dos impactos ambientais gerados após a construção da usina hidroelétrica.

Abstract:
Packaging waste forms a significant part of municipal solid waste and has caused increasing environmental concerns, resulting in a strengthening of various regulations aimed at reducing the amounts generated. Among other materials, a wide range of oil-based polymers is currently used in packaging applications. These are virtually all non-biodegradable, and some are difficult to recycle or reuse due to being complex composites having varying levels of contamination. Recently, significant progress has been made in the development of biodegradable plastics, largely from renewable natural resources, to produce biodegradable materials with similar functionality to that of oil-based polymers. The expansion in these bio-based materials has several potential benefits for greenhouse gas balances and other environmental impacts over whole life cycles and in the use of renewable, rather than finite resources. It is intended that use of biodegradable materials will contribute to sustainability and reduction in the environmental impact associated with disposal of oil-based polymers. The diversity of biodegradable materials and their varying properties makes it difficult to make simple, generic assessments such as biodegradable products are all ‘good’ or petrochemical-based products are all ‘bad’. This paper discusses the potential impacts of biodegradable packaging materials and their waste management, particularly via composting. It presents the key issues that inform judgements of the benefits these materials have in relation to conventional, petrochemical-based counterparts. Specific examples are given from new research on biodegradability in simulated ‘home’ composting systems. It is the view of the authors that biodegradable packaging materials are most suitable for single-use disposable applications where the post-consumer waste can be locally composted.

Abstract:
: Management of solid waste involves collection, transportation, treatment and safe disposal to landfills. These activities create a lot of impacts to the environment and most of the time impose social and financial burden on authorities handling solid waste management as well as the community. Local authorities managing waste are confronted with problems, protests and resistance from the public because of difference of views and perceptions on impacts created by waste management plans. This paper assesses some environmental, social and economical impacts viewed by stakeholders in the city of Johor Bahru Malaysia. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP), a multi-criteria decision making analysis tool is used to evaluate the views of the stakeholders with the aid of super decision software. Stream ecology, flora and fauna, habitat depletion, land use and air quality are ranked higher for environmental factors/impacts. Public awareness health and safety, population size and cooperation from the public dominate the social factors. Regulation, landfill capacity, operation and maintenance cost and capital cost dominate economic factors/impacts. Four alternative disposal plans (landfilling, recycling, incineration, composting) were proposed and ranked according to the priorities of the stakeholders. Incineration and recycling were preferred to landfilling and composting disposal options.

Abstract:
The disposal of untreated industrial effluent into receiving water courses has become a major environmental challenge being faced by most of the developing countries. The high-strength and toxic wastes are responsible for a variety of water-borne diseases. In Pakistan numerous industrial units that dispose their effluent directly into receiving stream without any treatment. This study was, therefor designed to assess the wastewater characteristics of some major industrial units in the surrounding area of River Kabul, which is one of the most signifi cant resources of water in the north region of the country.The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the wastewater characteristics of some major industrial units in terms of BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) etc. For this purpose, various representative samples were collected from the major industrial units like sugar, paper, ghee (Butter) and textile mills, and were analyzed using standard laboratory techniques. The results indicates that the BOD of sugar, paper, ghee (butter) and textile mills is in the range of 2235mg/L, 1150mg/L, 844mg/L and 745mg/L, respectively. Whereas, the COD of sugar, paper, ghee and textile mills was noticed to be 3945mg/L 2045mg/L, 2240mg/L and 1244mg/L respectively. Owing to the disposal of such highstrength wastes water without treatment, a remarkable increase in the TSS from 96 to 382mg/L, and decrease in DO (Dissolved Oxygen) concentration from 8.8 to 6.7mg/L of River Kabul was observed. The results of this study suggest that all the wastewater coming from the industrial sources should be properly treated as an integral part of their production before their fi nal disposal into River Kabul to secure its natural water quality.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hn.v8i0.4924Hydro Nepal: Journal of Water, Energy and Environment Issue No. 8, 2011 JanuaryPage: 44-47Uploaded date: 23 June, 2011

Abstract:
Host communities often very strongly oppose municipal waste disposal facilities despite the absence of very serious physical impacts. In order to effectively manage facility impacts and siting process to reduce host community opposition, waste management engineers and planners must understand the linkage between physical impacts and beliefs and the resulting attitudes in the host community. Physical impacts, community beliefs, and attitudes were assessed at two typical waste facilities, a landfill and an incinerator for municipal solid waste. Typical landfill impacts consist of water and air quality effects, odors, noise, and visual impacts; incinerators generate air quality impacts, visual and slight noise effects. While residents' general beliefs about facility impacts focus on obvious physical impacts (noise, odor, air emissions), residents' opinions of specific waste facilities comprise a broader set of physical and nonphysical impacts, including property value losses, community image impact, and loss of community control. These underlying, nonphysical impact beliefs are associated with exposure to obvious nuisance impacts and correlate strongly with residents' attitudes about the facility. Therefore, impact management efforts will be most effective if they, first, correctly identify underlying concerns and, then, manage the physical impacts that trigger them. Key words: waste disposal facilities, physical impacts, community beliefs, attitude, impact management, community acceptance.
