Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMunicipal Solid Waste Generation and its Management, a Growing Threat to Fragile Ecosystem in Kashmir HimalayaRouf Ahmad Bhat, Moonisa Aslam Dervash, Mohammad Aneesul Mehmood, Khalid Rehman HakeemThe Kashmir valley is facing tremendous pressure associated with problems of growing waste generation. Thus, the aim of the present research was to generate baseline data for adequate waste management and associated problems. For the collection of samples, 20 houses were randomly selected in the main town from each district and segregated into compostable, recyclable, combustible and inert categories. All … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 13 Jan 2018 · 9,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment of a Prototype Automated Sorting System for Plastic RecyclingD. A. Wahab, A. Hussain, E. Scavino et al.Automated sorting for plastic recyclables has been seen as the way forward in the plastic recycling industry. Automated sorting provides significant improvements in terms of efficiency and consistency in the sorting process. In the case of macro sorting, which is the most common type of automated sorting, efficiency is determined by the mechanical details of the material handling system as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 8,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation on the Systems of Collecting and Extracting Greywater from Surface Water and WastewaterSaeid Eslamian, Mohammad Abdolhoseini, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Vijay P. SinghLack of water resources, on the one hand and degradation of the quality of available resources; on the other hand, raise serious concerns about water supply. Limited water resources in some areas necessitate planning for use of unconventional resources, such as: Unconventional and recyclable water resources, which should be used optimally. Therefore, there is an increasing need for use of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 7 Jun 2021 · 6,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReversible Ionizing Radiation Sensors Based on Carbon NanotubesKenneth Fontánez, Abniel Machín, María C. Cotto et al.Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (VA-CNTs) were grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) on a silicon substrate with alternating layers of TiN and SiO2. VA-CNTs were exposed to X-ray radiation to study the change in resistivity later. Preliminary results show an increase in the resistivity of CNTs as a function of radiation exposure time, which means that the structure responds successfully … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2020 · 7,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombating Climate Change One Bite at a Time: Environmental Sustainability of Veganism (with a Socio-Behavioral Comparison of Vegans and Omnivores)Jennifer M. Ghahari, Jennifer A. McAdamIn an era of escalating climate change, our research examines the environmental benefits of veganism and finds which factors could contribute to a societal shift towards veganism. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) release significant greenhouse gas emissions as well as expose people and animals to pathogens. Tropical rainforest destruction for grazing land, the vast amount of fresh/potable water needed for … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 9,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Cadmium and Glucose on Soil Microbial CommunitiesAliya Gilmullina, Polina Galitskaya, Svetlana SelivanovskayaA laboratory-based simulation of exposure of the soil community in a gray forest soil to cadmium and glucose has been conducted. It was established that while growing in a fertile medium microbial communities isolated from a soil sample contaminated with cadmium have a substantially increased phase of growth delay and there is a reduction in total growth. While analyzing communities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 6 Nov 2015 · 6,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid Waste Characterization and Recycling Potential for University Technology PETRONAS Academic BuildingsAmirhossein Malakahmad, Muhammad Za’im Zaki bin Che Mohd Nasir, Shamsul Rahman Mohammed Kutty, Mohammed Hasnain IsaProblem statement: In many countries such as Malaysia, it is increasingly more difficult to find suitable locations for landfills, which are accepted by the population. These circumstances are to be found all over the world and make new strategies for waste management necessary. Approach: Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) systems are one of the greatest challenges for sustainable development. But … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Disposal and Pollution Management in Urban Areas: A Workable Remedy for the Environment in Developing CountriesJ. A. Awomeso, A. M. Taiwo, A. M. Gbadebo, A. O. ArimoroProblem statement: Both wastes and the crude disposal techniques have created subtle and yet serious environmental pollution havoc in many developing countries. This has lead to the degradation of abiotic and biotic components of these nations’ ecological systems. Poor industrial waste disposal systems as well as the indiscriminate and inappropriate domestic litter disposal habit have been identified and proved to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 9,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Coagulation Technology for Treatment of Grease Filter WashwaterAbdel E. Ghaly, A. Snow, B.E. FaberThe treatment of grease filter washwater by chemical coagulation and sedimentation using different dosages of aluminum sulfate was investigated. Pollutant removal efficiency was measured in terms of total solids, pH and optical density. The process was found to be effective at the room temperature and the filter washwater pH (9.5). The optimum aluminum sulfate dosage was 2 g/L. The treatment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,816 accessesView PDFCite
