Abstract:
Solid waste management is a field of great diversity and dynamism throughout Europe. Over the last 30 years waste and its management has become a significant environmental risk and an area of growing political importance in the UK. This has been paralleled by developments in European policy and standards linking the environment with the economy and society as the three pillars of sustainability. This thesis examines some of the developments in solid waste management and practice in the UK, using a range of techniques (surveys, case studies, interviews etc.) to analyse changing policy strands a

Abstract:
Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) has been the most commonly used wood preservative in the UK; up until its partial ban in 2004. The preservative prolongs the service life of wood by 20-50 years by making it resistant to biological attack. As such, in-service CCA treated wood is expected to be a major component of the UK wood waste stream in the future. Concerns over the impact of the chemical constituents of this treatment on both the environment and human health have prompted the introduction of legislation to ensure that such waste is disposed of safely in Hazardous Waste Landfills.

Abstract:
Solid waste management systems in developed countries are undergoing a transformation to a resource recovery-based model. Conversely, in many developing countries waste management is still inadequate in terms of environmental and public health. The environmentally sound technology (EST) concept, which emerged from the United Nations in the 1990s, has been suggested as a useful means to identify sustainable solid waste management systems for developing countries. The international community has promoted ESTs in an attempt to clarify the concept and facilitate their selection and use. However, i

Organic carbon is ubiquitous throughout the aquatic environment. It is an heterogeneous mixture of compounds, some of which are fluorescent, with allochthonous and autochthonous origins. The most common aquatic fluorophores are humic materials (peaks C and A) from degraded plant matter and protein-like material (peaks T1 and T2) of microbial origin. Spectral fingerprints of aquatic organic matter composition may be visualised on an excitation emission matrix (EEM) on which each fluorophore is identifiable as a characteristic peak. Protein-like fluorescence (T1 and T2) is linked to bacterial ac

Abstract:
This thesis examines the regional electronic and electrical waste (e-waste) recycling network in Malaysia and Singapore, with a secondary focus on the articulations of informal labour within the network. I argue that there is a need to theorise production networks post-consumption; i.e. to focus on the activities and processes that occur after a commodity is consumed and subsequently discarded. I argue that discarded e-waste are not ‘value-less’ waste, but instead embody value (specifically latent use value), and have the potential to be re-inserted as ‘raw materials’ into production networks

Over the past two decades, the number of universities that pursue zero-waste strategies has steadily increased. However, more study is required on several interrelated factors, policy barriers, and infrastructural fundamentals, which each influence the efficiency of waste management structures (WM) at universities.

The deposit of solid waste in inappropriate places brings social, environmental and economic disruption. The National Solid Waste Policy defines the completion of open dumps and states that the final disposal of environmentally sound waste must occur in landfills.

O presente trabalho apresenta um modelo computacional que visa servir de apoio ao processo de licenciamento de áreas para criação intensiva de animais. Trata-se de um modelo que descreve o comportamento do nitrogênio e do fósforo, oriundos da aplicação em solos agrícolas de dejetos da criação de animais e seu impacto nas bacias hidrográficas. Este modelo apóia-se em um Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG) e foi utilizado o ambiente ARCVIEW. O modelo define a quantidade de nitrogênio e de fósforo que ficam disponíveis no solo para serem arrastados pelo escoamento superficial para os corpos

Abstract:
Embora os conceitos logísticos geralmente sejam associados aos processos de manufatura, eles podem ser aplicados a outras áreas, como é o caso do presente trabalho. Os resíduos de serviços de saúde (RSS) compõem uma parcela pequena do total de resíduos sólidos produzidos por um município, mas são particularmente importantes, pois constituem fontes de disseminação de doenças. Desta forma o correto tratamento destes resíduos é importante para a manutenção da saúde e da qualidade de vida da população. Como toda operação de movimentação, o transporte dos RSS gera despesas que os municípios têm que

O descarte que muitas vezes acontece em locais inapropriados, demonstra a necessidade de áreas para a correta disposição final em acordo com as normas vigentes. Visando a diminuição dos impactos causados por esse tipo de resíduos, buscando atender a legislação pertinente, a indicação de áreas aptas à implantação de aterros de resíduos de construção e demolição ou aterro classe A faz-se necessária. Para isso, foi utilizada a ferramen

Ce travail de thèse interroge l'application différenciée des politiques publiques et ses dynamiques. À travers l'étude de huit services publics d'assainissement non collectif, situés dans des espaces périurbains provençaux, hauts-alpins, vauclusiens et rhônalpins, la réflexion met en valeur les tensions entre des normes réglementaires et techniques d'une part et, d'autre part, des territoires disposant de ressources variables pour les appliquer. S'appuyant sur une démarche quantitative et qualitative auprès d'institutions et d'usagers, cette recherche met en évidence la grande différenciation

Abstract:
This thesis questions the boundaries that define waste as a public or private dilemma, investigating these boundaries as productive sites for the imagination of social life. Learning from methods of processing, conveyance and disposal, I investigate a number of possible sites where the architectural mediates the life of a wasted object and the social life that is produced around an engagement with that object. Waste has largely been disappeared from the city and the senses by mechanisms of modern sanitation and architecture, moved to the urban periphery and concealed inside increasingly refine
