This causes ecosystem disruption Ex: Animal Manure and Plant Residues. Sources: Sewage, agricultural runoff, paper mills, food processing
Level or amount of oxygen level that supports mainly worms, bacteria and fungi, and other detritus feeders and decomposers.
- such as sewage, paper pulp, or food waste, is rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus.
Is the amount of dissolved oxygen that must be present in water in order for microorganisms to decompose the organic matter in the water.
Uses a strong oxidizing agent (dichromate ion in 50% sulfuric acid) to completely breakdown all organic matter in a water sample. Faster than BOD test.
Further downstream, the water may become so oxygen-depleted that only the most resistant microorganisms and invertebrates can survive.
(truly nourished trophic) – waters that are rich in organisms and organic materials. It is an increase in nutrient levels and biological productivity
- Some toxic inorganic chemicals are released from rocks by weathering, are carried by runoff into lakes or rivers, or percolate into groundwater aquifers.
- Some soils contain naturally high concentrations of soluble salts, including toxic selenium and arsenic.
are released as by-products of industrial processes, such as leather tanning, metal smelting and plating, petroleum distillation, and organic chemical synthesis.
Raising or lowering water temperatures from normal levels can adversely affect water quality and aquatic life.
First step in municipal waste treatment. It physically separates large solids from the waste stream.
Are considered harmful and dangerous and can consist of medical waste, industrial waste and hospital waste.
Consists of biological degradation of dissolved organic compounds. The effluent from primary treatment flows into a trickling filter bed, an aeration tank, or a sewage lagoon.
Is also called the activated sludge process. Effluent from primary treatment is pumped into the tank and mixed with a bacteria-rich slurry
It is a low-cos waste treatment. It is a hybrid between a traditional septic tank and a full sewer system. A tank near each dwelling collects and digests solid waste just like a septic system. Rather that using a drainfield, however, dispose of liquids effluents are pumped to a central treatment plant.
A low-cost treatment that can cut secondary treatment cost to one-third of mechanical treatment costs, or less.
Involves heating or boiling water full of dissolved minerals. The water vapor driven off is pure water, while the minerals stay behind in what remains of the liquid.
Means finding remedies for problems. New developments in environmental engineering are providing promising solutions to many water pollution problems.
confine or restrain dirty water or liquid in situ or cap the surface with an impermeable layer to divert surface water or groundwater away from the site and to prevent further pollution.
Living organisms used effectively and inexpensively to clean contaminated water. This can be carried out in tanks or troughs.
¦ these are the discarded solid substances generated from human activities and having no more value with respect to its economic, physiological or technological process.
Wastes generated during the preparation of food like vegetables, flowers, leaves, fruits, and other wastes from market places.
Wastes that come from plants or animals that can be degraded by other living organisms, often used for composting, If processed, this can be a source of heat, electricity and fuel. These include human waste, manure, sewage, slaughterhouse waste.
- are usually organic waste having low moisture content. Examples are paper, wood, dried leaves, etc.
Examples are old medicines, paints, chemicals, bulbs, spray cans, fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish
Can be recycled or used again for the same or different purpose. These includes paper, glass, metals, plastics, etc.
Consist of unwanted materials that are produced directly or indirectly from the manufacturing, assembly and other construction processes. Examples of these are rubble, roofing, broken concrete, nails, electrical wiring, etc.
- are considered harmful and dangerous and can consist of medical waste, industrial waste and hospital waste.
These places generate huge amount of solid waste that includes food wastes, plastics, paper, glass, leather, cardboard, metals, yard wastes, ashes and special wastes such as electronics, tires, batteries, old mattresses and used oil.
This source of solid waste is One of the leading contributors to solid waste are the manufacturing industries, construction sites, fabrication and power plants. The solid waste are generated from housekeeping, food and packaging, construction and demolition materials, medical and hazardous wastes.
This source of solid waste is due to the Existence of many commercial facilities and buildings are significant factors considered in the generation of solid waste particularly the hotels, restaurants, stores and office buildings. These facilities produce lots of solid wastes ranging from plastics, food wastes, metals, paper, glass, wood, cardboard materials, and other hazardous wastes.
This source of solid waste can be classified as schools, prisons, military barracks and other government centre can also generate solid wastes. Example of wastes produced in these places consist of glass, plastics, food wastes, wood, paper, metals, cardboard materials, electronics as well as various hazardous wastes.
The solid wastes produced in these sites usually consist of steel materials, concrete, wood, plastics, rubber, copper wires, dirt and glass.
Urban centers also greatly contribute to the generation of solid waste. Among the solid waste brought about by the ____ are those from street cleaning, wastes from parks and beaches, wastewater treatment plants, landscaping wastes and wastes from recreational areas, including sludge
Wastes like pesticides, spoiled foods and some hazardous materials are produced from farms, orchards, dairies and vineyard came from what source of solid waste?
Refer to the wastes generated by hospitals and biomedical equipment and chemical manufacturing firms. These include syringes, bandages, used gloves, drugs, paper, plastics, food wastes and chemicals.
By_____ the amount of waste is one of the best things that all of us can do. Avoiding too much use of resources can help reduce the waste and therefore, there is less waste to manage.
If an item cannot be refused, reduced or reused, the option will be to ____. This method is also referred to as upcycling.
This pertains to some actions that focused on distinguishing materials that are not functioning anymore or valueless to the owner and are subjected for disposal.
Storage corresponds to a system for keeping the waste generated that has been discarded prior to collection and disposal.
This concerns collecting waste from garbage bins by the collection vehicles and bringing the garbage in the collection site where the waste conveyance trucks unload the waste.
This pertains to the services, tools, and methods used to make materials become eco-friendly to be used again and to efficiently develop other essential features of waste management.
This is the final phase of waste management that involves activities with the purpose of disposing waste materials in locations such as landfills or in places that converts waste-to-usable materials facilities.
It is a solid waste management technique under thermal processes. Process that converts waste material into gas, ash and heat.
It is a solid waste management technique under thermal processes. Thermal decomposition of carbon-based materials that produce syngas.
It is a solid waste management technique under thermal processes. An additional reactor added to promote gasification of the carbon char or pyrolysis liquids that is formed from the initial pyrolysis step.
It is a solid waste management technique under thermal processes. Thermal method where carbonaceous materials are converted into syngas using a limited amount of air or oxygen.
- A high temperature pyrolysis process that coverts carbon-based materials into Syngas. Vitrified slag is produced as by product from inorganic materials and minerals of the waste
