Background Hazardous waste are those wastes that are considered harmful or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. The Environment Agency defines hazardous wastes as those that are either immediately harmful to human health or the environment or potentially harmful in the future. Wastes are classified as hazardous by the Environment Agency if they have one or more of the following properties: explosive, oxidising, highly flammable, flammable, irritant, harmful, toxic, carcinogenic
require longterm potential actions for sustainable development. In this regard, renewable energy resources appear to be one of the most efficient and effective solutions[1].A naturally occurring gas formed as a byproduct of the breakdown of organic waste materials in a lowoxygen (e.g., anaerobic) environment. Biogas is composed primarily of methane (typically 55% – 70% by volume) and carbon dioxide (typically 30% – 45%). Biogas may also include smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide (typically 50 –

Literature review It is common knowledge that if waste is not disposed in the correct manner it badly affects the environment and then in turn animals and human beings are affected as we depend on the environment for survival. 1. Source 1: Landfills and hazardous waste sites I personally cannot begin to imagine life with landfills or dumping sites. If we had no landfills where would all the waste that is produced on a daily basis by households, firms, factories and companies go? How dirty
I. Intro Improper solid waste management might be the most common, yet most neglected problem in one’s community. This is, without a doubt, a problem encountered in the third world countries. This is an important issue as well as a major challenge not only in cities, but even in rural areas. The top-down approach to fix such problem was long proven useless, participation of the people in one’s community is the best approach to achieve a successful waste reduction program, as well as knowing the

Development) Waste Management Policy In the year 1992, the OECD Council adopted a legally binding decision to set up a comprehensive regime for managing the trade in recoverable wastes which is valued at 20 billion sterling pounds a year. The OECD’s work in the field of waste management is extensive. In 1976, the OECD outlined a comprehensive waste management policy, which advocated an integrated and holistic approach to the problem. It emphasized the importance of both the reduction of wastes at the
Contact with these chemicals can cause severe burns on the eyes and skin and can damage the throat and esophagus if ingested. The chlorine and ammonia contained in some can each cause similar problems, and the hazardous gases unleashed when they combine can be lethal. Meanwhile, the fragrances added to many cleaning products can cause respiratory irritation, headaches and other symptoms in those with chemical sensitivities, allergies or asthma. And since fragrance
layered with plastic. This plastic is 1/2 of an inch thick. This prevents the waste from leaking into the soil. This procedure protects the leakage out of the bottom. Landfills work like a bathtub, it can leak. In addition to the bottom of the landfill, the top is covered and sealed. “Above that, several feet of dirt fill are topped with soil and plants” says livescience (www.livescience.com) . After the waste is
theorizes the Waste disposal issues that include: leftover food disposal, biodegradable, non-biodegradable and recyclable material, and the disposal prevention of vectors, infections and bacterial contamination. Among the different waste disposal factors, the prevention of vectors, infection and bacteria contaminated by the vectors, the harbor of bacterial and the transfer of poisonous chemical or injuring from a foreign object is our main research. Thus, household hazardous waste that was directly
