ABSTRACT Various national and international agencies have shown their concern towards proper handling, treatment and disposal of biomedical waste, as they may cause serious infectious diseases like hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. Most of the hospitals do not have effective disposal system leading to complex problem of hygiene and sanitation in hospitals. The use of disposable items has reduced the rate of infection but at the same time has increased the volume of the waste which needs to be disposed properly.

One of the globally pertinent issues is to manage the wastes generated in an organized manner. Mitigating solid waste generation is important alongside efficient management of the generated wastes is paramount. Thus, recycling has emerged as a viable alternative. Solid Waste Management comprises steps like collection, transportation, and disposal, and in an efficient waste management process, it is essential to monitor and design each process scientifically. Disposal in landfills is a general practice however; owing to inefficient segregation before disposal the wastes are highly toxic with th

In modern times, disposal of garbage has turn out a huge cause for concern in the world. A comprehensive amount of waste that is generated is not disposed properly and in turn have a harmful effect on the habitat. The most commonly used method for disposal of the waste is by random and unscientifically dumping garbage at landfill sites, which is creating problems to public health and the environment. Garbage disposal is an emerging environmental and public health issue. Waste production has been doubled over a period of past 20 years and the efficiency in manual segregation is very low. Thus,

Abstract:

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited is developing methods for the management and safe disposal of radioactive wastes. These wastes range from the highly radioactive (high-level) UO2 fuel arising from the nuclear generation of electrical power to the low- and intermediate-level wastes arising from research in various Canadian institutions using radioactive isotopes. This paper reviews the current research programs on materials and processes for the immobilization and containment of UO2 fuel wastes and the technical aspects of programs demonstrating the various technologies needed for implementing a

The study was conducted on hospital waste generation in Mymensingh municipality and also its management technique. Data was collected through questionnaire interview from local residents, superintendents, nurses, observation and secondary sources. The results revealed that wastes are collected every alternative day and though sometime in irregular basis. Hospital wastes causes different health hazards like bad smell, infestation of animals, diarrhoea, skin diseases etc. due to irregular collection, unsafe handling, disposal, storage, transportation and finally dumped with municipal wastes.

Abstract:

Hazardous waste is an important part of the ecological system and the environmental community. Corrosive hazardous waste accounts for a large proportion of hazardous wastes. In addition to waste acid(HW34) and alkali(HW35), it also involves 8 other types and 13 subcodes. Corrosive hazardous waste has various physical states, involves thousands of chemical substances, and can have all kinds of hazardous properties such as toxicity, flammability, oxidation, reactivity, and explosive. The classification, detection, identification, transportation, storage and disposal technologies of corrosive haz

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the steady trend of solar energy development, which is accompanied by the formation and accumulation of solar panel waste. This process requires the application of accomplished waste management and the development of waste disposal technologies. It was determined that the problem of waste solar photovoltaic panels becomes more urgent due to the military actions taking place on the territory of Ukraine. The general characteristics of waste for different types of panels are given. The heterogeneity of the materials of photovoltaic panels leads to an ambiguous classification an

Abstract:

Nowadays, the increased amount and variety of waste, and the health risks caused by them are considered among the substantial issues of human societies today. Pharmaceutical wastes are among the most dangerous polluting wastes of the environment in the world. They include expired products and unused medicines. This study aims to investigate pharmaceutical waste collection management utilizing the location-routing model in a reverse supply chain. To do so, pharmaceutical waste from pharmacies and hospitals is collected and then transfer to collection centers, where waste classification and futu

Abstract:

Pharmaceutical products are inevitable for human health. Owing to the growing need for pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical companies introduce drugs annually into the market in addition to the large collection of existing pharmaceutical products. Households, farms, health facilities and pharmaceutical industries release pharmaceutical waste into the environment at low concentrations through routine pharmaceutical use, damage and expiry. The effects of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) on non-target species in the environment are not known. Unwanted pharmaceuticals should be safely disposed a
