Use of domestic sewage effluent for sustainable production of vegetable in Kashmir valley
Trace metals in discrete portions of knoll kohl were evaluated along with chemical composition of sewage effluent, irrigation water, and soil. High nutrients, Fe and Mn levels were noticed in the sewage effluent, whereas irrigation water showed recommended norms. Knoll kohl grown on sewage-irrigated soil accumulated sufficiently good amount of trace metals available to consumers. This study also ...

Status and strategies on solid waste management in Ho Chi Minh City
As a result of rapid industrialisation and uncontrolled urbanisation, solid waste generation rate has increased significantly in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). At present, about 6000 tons of solid waste is generated daily from activities in HCMC. Meanwhile, solid waste management and disposal facilities have not reached to extent to satisfy the need. Solid waste is not sorted at the sources. Some ...

Assessment of waste management practices in sub-Saharan Africa
This paper presents an overview of the waste management systems in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on the West African nations in the region. It must be acknowledged that, owing to the lack of a comprehensive database on waste generation for the region, the information provided is neither complete nor exhaustive. Nonetheless, initial site reconnaissance and a survey of available databases for ...

Knowledge management for radioactive waste disposal: moving from theory to practice
The exponential growth in the knowledge base for radioactive waste management is a cause for concern in many national programmes. In Japan, this problem is exacerbated by a volunteering approach to siting of a deep geological repository, which requires particular flexibility in the tailoring of site characterisation plans, repository concepts and associated Performance Assessments (PAs). ...

A comprehensive evaluation of solid waste management in Kuwait
One of the major problems facing a nation is the need for the proper disposal of the voluminous of solid waste generated every year. Therefore, recent literature on solid waste management in Kuwait has been reviewed and data analysed on the total amount of solid waste generated in Kuwait. In addition, industrial solid waste, construction and demolition waste, and pharmaceutical waste are ...

Hazardous wastes and economic risk reduction: case study, Poland
A concise summary balance of industrial and hazardous waste is given, reflecting the situation in Poland. Nearly 130 million tonnes of waste were generated annually in the past in more than 1300 larger industrial plants. Approximately 1800 million tonnes of industrial waste is already stockpiled. The amount of hazardous waste generated per year was 0.3 and 1.0 million tonnes of the first and ...
