This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disposal of large quantities of municipal solid waste (MSW) being generated by industrialized countries has become a serious problem. Since it is estimated that within 10 years, half of all municipalities will lack sufficient landfill space, many cities are considering municipal waste combustion as an alternative waste management option.\ Municipal waste combustors have been a source of contention in many local communities and a growing research topic in the scientific community. This book represents a compilation of chapters written by experienced individuals in the areas ofemissions estimation, deposition modeling, risk assessment, indirect exposures, and uncertainty analysis. Estimation of potential human risks associated with pollutants has become an increasing concern. Most often, values required for deposition rates and annual atmospheric concentrations are estimated through the useofatmospheric dispersion models. Chapter 1compares data on the tlatterrain versus the complex terrain dispersion models such as the U.S. EPA Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST) and Long Term (lSCLT). Chapter 2 focuses on the modeling of atmospheric dispersion and dry deposition of fine particulates. A specific size particle (10-20 urn) is used because of its relevance to municipal waste facilities since best available control technology effectively removes particulates above this size range. The deposition ofmaterials from the atmosphere is a critical link in the pathway by which toxic atmospheric pollutants are transported to the surface of food chain components. Chapter 3 describes the importance accounting for wet deposition in risk assessments of municipal waste incinerators.

Download or read book Waste Incineration and the Environment written by R M Harrison and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waste incineration is finding increasing favour as a waste disposal method and this Issue considers the topic of waste disposal and the place of incineration as an option. It reviews the emissions and environmental impacts of incineration and available control technologies, specific research upon emissions of trace metals and organic micropollutants, and the methodologies for environmental impact assessment. There is currently great interest and considerable controversy over waste incineration and this book gives a dispassionate view of the scientific and technical issues involved. It provides a broad overview of the role incineration can play in waste management and looks at how environmental impacts may be managed and assessed. For municipal waste, when coupled with energy recovery, waste incineration provides an efficient, spatially compact means of bulk waste reduction, which is widely favoured over landfill, and for some chemical wastes, provides the only presently viable disposal option. This book places incineration in the context of other waste disposal options and examines the relative benefits and environmental impacts in a balanced way.

Book excerpt: The technical basis of environmental regulation is always at the edge of scientific and engineering understanding. As knowledge improves, questions will inevitably arise about past decisions. Understanding how the regulatory system accommodates changing scientific and engineering knowledge is vital for achieving environmental values. In this new volume, seven case studies shed light on the interplay between environmental regulation and scientific and engineering understanding, with practical conclusions on how science and engineering should be used for more sound and timely regulatory decision making. The book provides helpful timelines of scientific and regulatory developments for the cases, which include: Factors impeding clean-up strategies in the Chesapeake Bay. Pivotal questions in the regulation of ambient ozone concentrations. How science has been heeded but also ignored in regulation of new municipal waste combustors. Impact of scientific findings on control of chlorination by-products. Acid rain and what can be learned about research and public policy debate. Controversy over the need for formaldehyde regulation. The effect of public perception on management decisions concerning dioxin. This volume will be of practical interest to policymakers, business and environmental advocates, scientists, engineers, researchers, attorneys, faculty, and students.

Download or read book Combustion Ash/Residue Management written by Richard W. Goodwin and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 1993-12-31 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerable attention has been focused on regulatory classification of ash from municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators. Such attention has raised several issues, which range from the applicability of current federal regulations, to the manner of sampling, and the type of test to apply to characterize the ash. When lab tested under the provisions of the 1976 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and its subsequent amendments, municipal waste combustion (MWC) residues sometimes exceeded heavy metal limitations. Lacking evidence to the contrary, the public and the media have viewed MWC residue as ""toxic."" Elected officials, similarly, have relied on such laboratory data to shape their perspective. Reliance on just laboratory leachate data has led to state regulations imposing economic burdens on resource recovery projects. On September 18, 1992, Mr. William Reilly, Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, issued a policy statement declaring that MWC ash should be regulated as a non-hazardous solid waste. The author hopes that the Clinton administration will continue the current policy. This book would serve to defend the current policy. The engineering approach, emphasizing a rational evaluation of peer-reviewed field data, could defuse environmentalists' claims. Should federal policy remain, due to USEPA's recognition of their problems with field data and lab procedures, this book provides a guideline to implement combustion residue beneficial use. The described engineering methodology, advocating end-product performance and reliance on field data, provides a more rational approach than worst-case, risk-assessment models. This book provides a technical assessment of combustion residues' environmentally benign characteristics and a blueprint to achieve their utilization. Readers, representing both sides of the combustion residue controversy, should appreciate the application of the rational, engineering approach aimed at demonstrating environmental compatibility of heavy industrial energy projects. This engineering approach will enable us to achieve a true balance between industrial growth and environmental compatibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UNEP Governing Council of February 2013 requested the United Nations Environment Programme "to develop a global outlook of challenges, trends and policies in relation to waste prevention, minimization and management, taking into account the materials life cycle, subject to the availability of extra-budgetary resources and in consultation with Governments and stakeholders, building on available data, best practices and success stories, taking into account the Global Chemicals Outlook and any other relevant initiatives and taking care not to duplicate existing information, to provide guidance for national policy planning." UNEP's International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), in collaboration with the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), has taken the lead on this initiative; aiming to develop the Global Waste Management Outlook as a tool to provide an authoritative overview, analysis and recommendations for action of policy instruments and financing models for waste management. The GWMO is the result of two year's work and provides the first comprehensive global overview of the state of waste management around the world in the 21st century.
