Abstract:
Some healthcare waste presents hazardousness characteristics and requires specific procedures to ensure the safety management. Waste segregation is an important action to control the risks of each type of waste. Healthcare waste indicators also may improve the waste management system. The aim of this article was to evaluate the healthcare waste management in a Brazilian university hospital, as well as the waste indicators, quantifying and qualifying the waste generation. Weighing of wastes occurred by sampling occurred sampling of seven consecutive days or daily, between 2011 and 2017. General

Early risk identification of the sources and causes of waste material for road construction projects has been carried out, and the research continues to carry out further risk identification which then becomes the final risk identification. Description and validity tests and reliability tests were carried out to obtain further risk identification. Each source variable and indicator of the cause of material waste in each material is differentfrom one another because each has a difference.

Abstract:
Civil construction activities promote a considerable increase in waste generation which negatively impacts the environment. Although there are sustainable technologies and practices for reusing these wastes, the disposal and inappropriate destination of these wastes still prevails. Faced with this problem, this article presents a development of indicators to assess sustainability at construction sites. Thus, 30 sustainability indicators related to solid waste management at construction sites were prepared, divided into six matrices, and related to construction management, documentation control

Since the earliest work on controlled composting in the middle of the last century, the effectiveness of sanitisation has been determined using pathogen indicator organisms, such as E. coli and conventional enumeration techniques. Recent developments in molecular biology suggested the possibilities of replacing these 'standard' techniques with some form of PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The main part of the study related to the use of PCR to enumerate pathogen indicators in composted organic waste and compared it with conventional cultivation techniques recommended in the compost guidelines

Abstract:
The global reliance on fossil-based solvents has driven the search for sustainable alternatives. This study employs the IBSS� CAMD tool to evaluate building blocks derived, directly or indirectly, from agricultural residues - specifically orange and coffee wastes-, to replace toluene in furfural extraction. A three-stage methodology was implemented: (1) identification of potential building blocks from residues, (2) multi-objective optimization using genetic algorithms and group contribution models for properties calculation, and (3) analysis of the resulting candidates based on performance ind

Abstract:
Uzbekistan is becoming more efficient in using water and energy resources. However, the pressure on natural capital still remains and the development of renewable energy sources is slow. The natural asset base of Uzbekistan's economy, including land and forest, needs more maintenance. The environmental dimensions of Uzbekistan’s population quality of life, including access to sewerage and solid waste collection systems are improving. At the same time, challenges remain in outdoor air pollution. Energy subsidies are still high and environmental expenditures are small. Tariffs for water and ener

Abstract:
The study of taxonomic composition and ecological characteristics of wood species on devastated lands as a theoretical basis for the phytomelioration of environment remains relevant nowadays. It was discovered 32 species, 25 genera and 15 families in the course of the analysis of woody plant community from devastated lands of Petrovsky waste rock dumps. Among them, allochthonous species (59.38%) have an advantage over autochthonous (40.63%) according to the quantitative indicators. It was established, hemiapophytes predominate among apophytesspecies andneophytes predominate among anthropophyte

Abstract:
Diamond mining via open pit mining has been ongoing within the Tlicho region of the Northwest Territories for several decades, which includes the habitat range of the Bathurst Caribou Herd. This has led to the importance of quantitative characterization of the Zone Of Influence (ZOI), where resource development activities may be influencing the natural behaviour of the caribou herd in the tundra environment. As part of better defining and understanding the ZOI in this region, an initiative to evaluate the potential of detecting and mapping mine waste rock dust in the surrounding environment is

Abstract:
In our time, a very urgent problem is the cessation of negative impacts on the environment and the return to the practical use of the territories of devastated lands. In this regard, it is important to find out the basic laws of primary soil formation in the area of these man-made neoplasms. The initial soil formation conditions were analyzed on 19 experimental sites which represent the main varieties of devastated land in the Kryvyi Rih Iron Mining and Metallurgical District (Central Ukraine): (i) waste rock dumps of old iron mines (old name “Forges”), (ii) tailing storage facility of undergr

The global focus on environmental sustainability has intensified the need for innovative plastic waste management solutions, especially in the food packaging industry. This study explores liquid state decontamination processes of recyclates produced by post-consumer waste recycling of polystyrene yogurt cups and their effects on the material properties of the recycled material. For this purpose, different decontamination processes based on a twin-screw extruder with vacuum degassing and an industrial-scale recycling machine were applied.

Abstract:
In low-resource settings, obtaining accurate weight-for-height Z-scores can be challenging. This is due to factors such as the lack of equipment to measure height and weight accurately and the minimal training of community health workers. To address this issue, the Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) serves as a simple tool to identify wasted children. However, some researchers and practitioners argue that relying solely on MUAC may fail to identify many wasted children, leading to delayed intervention and potential death. This study aims to determine the most effective MUAC cutoffs for accurat
