Abstract
This chapter provides a systematic and quantitative overview of historical data on rural domestic waste (RDW) production based on past and current management practices in selected regions of China. Whereas rural areas are rapidly urbanizing and face significant environmental challenges as a result of poor RDW management practices. Based on the survey results, a waste management system comprised of classified collection, centralized treatment, and decentralized treatment is proposed. The composition, collection, and disposal of domestic waste in rural communities, as well as the challenges, health implications, and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis of source separation techniques, are all discussed in detail. Furthermore, the purpose of this chapter is to assess the simultaneous annihilation of microorganisms and VOCs from municipal solid waste storage rooms using SAEW. The effect of microbial reduction is assessed by detecting microbial variation on waste bin surfaces and handles, sanitation workers’ hands, and airborne before and after spraying SAEW. VOCs’ carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks to sanitation workers are also estimated.
