Persistent organic pollutants: Impacts and control measures

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) represent a significant environmental problem due to their toxicity, with a high capacity to persist in the environment, resistance to conventional degradation methods, the ability to accumulate in living organisms and their magnification in food chains or food. In this review article, the impacts on health and environmental components are examined. Strategies and measures for control, mitigation and/or minimization of POPs are also addressed. Agricultural and industrial activities, inadequate final disposal of solid waste and lack of wastewater treatment are identified as the main sources of POP emissions. In addition, innovative and promising technologies are analyzed, such as nanotechnology, bioremediation, rhizoremediation, biochar, chromatography techniques, ultrasound, among others, for the adequate treatment of POPs. The review highlights both the advantages and limitations of these technologies, pointing out areas that still require developments to achieve effective treatments. More economical and ecological alternatives are also mentioned to counteract the impacts of POPs.

Waste to Energy: Review on the Development of Land Fill Gas for Power Generation in Sub-Saharan Africa

This study focused on the development of land fill gas for power generation in Sub-Saharan Africa. In rapidly expanding cities in developing and emerging nations, it has been observed that municipal solid waste (MSW) has increased dramatically, raising public concern about the effects on the environment and public health. In Sub-Saharan Africa today, the garbage of people within this region especially in Nigeria is carelessly disposed. Environmental pollution and its effects on people's quality of life have become more sensitive topics among residents and decision-makers in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is becoming a more important topic on the local political agenda. Local decision-makers routinely debate whether to invest in waste-to-energy technologies as part of their effort to modernize waste management systems. Waste-to-Energy technologies are being promoted more and more as an alluring solution to a number of problems, including the urgent issue of waste disposal. These issues include inadequate power production, a shortage of landfill space, and greenhouse gas emissions from improper waste management. As an alternative to waste burning and composting, landfilling is one of the municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal techniques that are most frequently used. Due to its financial benefits, the sanitary landfill method is still often employed in various nations for the final disposal of solid waste. Landfill gas (LFG) is mostly produced by the anaerobic breakdown of the biodegradable component of municipal solid waste (MSW), specifically kitchen and yard trash, which is disposed of in landfills. Due to the anaerobic breakdown of the organic portion of solid waste, landfill gas is continuously produced. As a result, if an extraction system is not constructed in a landfill, there will be an overpressure that will force the biogas to be released into the atmosphere, which will have an adverse effect on the environment. Methane and carbon dioxide make up the majority of the gases that make up landfill gas, which is a mixture of other gases. Many landfill sites include an operational gas collection system that draws gas from both horizontal and vertical gas wells using a blower. The gas from the landfill was thought to only include carbon dioxide and methane. Methane's typical volume composition is 49%, hence it was believed that carbon dioxide would have a volume composition of 51%. Reviewing the information gathered by numerous studies regarding the volume of waste being dumped in landfills reveals that the waste produced in sub-Saharan Africa is sufficient to power the area with electricity. It was discovered that the quantity of electricity generated will fluctuate over time based on the flow rate of landfill gas. It will initially rise until a peak is attained. A million tons of landfill waste typically emits 434,000 cubic feet of LFG each day, which is sufficient to generate 0.80 MW of power. About 70% of LFG projects use internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and micro-turbines to produce power.

Analysis of the final disposal of solid waste from the municipalities that make up the territory of Costa do Descobrimento Identity

The inadequate disposal of solid waste can be a practice that maximizes environmental degradation. Given the above, the present work aimed to analyze the final disposal of urban solid waste in the municipalities that are part of the Território de Identidade Costa do Descobrimento, in Bahia. The first step was the research on specialized official platforms and websites and the literature review of scientific articles. In the second stage, the Municipalities were contacted. With the exception of the Municipalities of Belmonte and Porto Seguro, the works analyzed showed a predominance of the use of open dumps. It was possible to notice a variation in the use of some terminologies. The city halls of the municipalities did not return contact, which made it impossible to access information that was not found on the platforms and in the analyzed scientific literature. It is recommended that city halls fill in the official platforms, thus avoiding the information gap, as well as studying the feasibility of creating consortiums among those who are interested in disposing of waste as recommended by the PNRS, thus preventing the impacts negative environmental influences continue to exert influences in the municipalities studied.

MITIGATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES IN BRAZILIAN COMPANIES: WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH COMPLIANCE?

This study aimed to identify the social and environmental policies implemented by the State-owned companies of the Union of Direct Control in the mitigation of environmental liabilities. Regarding the methodological procedures, it was characterized as a comparative study of the cross-section type. The research universe corresponds to the state-owned companies in Mixed Economy Society of open capital of direct control of the Union, namely, Banco do Brasil, Eletrobrás, Petrobras, Banco da Amazônia and Banco do Nordeste. The data showed that the companies have social and environmental sustainability practices compatible with the market in which they operate. Not all companies define the environmentally adequate final disposal of solid waste. Only Eletrobrás and Petrobras have conditioning and compensation measures to mitigate environmental damage. Eletrobrás and Petrobras have environmental impact studies, technical notes for impact actions and Environmental Impact Reports. All companies have policies, requirements, and socio-environmental guidelines in their hiring processes, and have compliance programs in place. Although some of the elements that were checked were absent, it is evident from the literature that socio-environmental policies and actions allow companies to manage their risks, identify environmental liabilities related to their activities, from their hiring, project execution, supply of goods and services, and disposal of their solid waste.

Contamination assessment of soil and groundwater of a deactivated dumpsite in Brazil

The final disposal of solid waste in dumpsites can result in the migration of leachate components through the soil, contaminating it as well as the groundwater. The purpose of this manuscript was to analyze the contamination of a dumpsite along with three unlined leachate ponds that operated for approximately 25years. Soil, surface water from three leachate lagoons, and groundwater samples were collected. Chemical analyses such as chloride, ammonia nitrogen, and total organic carbon were performed. The present work also aimed at elaborating the local flow pattern map and the assessment of subsoil. The results showed local subsoil mostly clayey, also occurring a region of sandy predominance, and great variation of rocky outcrops depth. The groundwater flow occurs from the waste towards one of the leachate lagoons. The leachate lagoon located closer to deposited area presented the highest concentration of all contaminants measured. Groundwater and soil showed low ammonia nitrogen with a maximum value of 2mg.L-1. Elevated chloride levels were detected in all matrices studied. In soil depth, the concentration varied ​​between 17 and 1270mg.L-1 and in groundwater between 843 and 3,252mg.L-1. Results suggest the migration of leachate components through the local soil. The concentration of total organic carbon measured in soil was of 10-982mg.L-1, suggesting its natural presence.

Energy potential and economic feasibility of biogas: case study of a landfill in Minas Gerais, Brazil

The final disposal of solid waste in landfills may result in the production of a clean and renewable energy through the exploitation of biogas generated in these locations. This study aims to estimate the methane production in a landfill, with a total population of 237,298 inhabitants, and a total generation of waste of 83,561.78 ton/year, in the last year of operation, located in the state of Minas Gerais and evaluate the economic feasibility of a biogas exploitation project in this place, for electrical energy generation. The methane production was estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodology, obtaining the maximum methane production value of 6,692,590 mÑ in the last year of operation of the landfill. For economic feasibility analysis, the tools, such as net present value, discounted payback, and internal rate of return, were used with values of R$ 1,323,684.90 for 8 years, 4 months, and 12 days, and 9% per annum, respectively, demonstrating that the implementation of the project for the use of biogas at the landfill was viable, with positive economic return.

Aplicação do índice de qualidade de aterros nos locais de disposição final dos resíduos sólidos urbanos na Bacia do Alto Taquari

O gerenciamento adequado dos resíduos sólidos é uma preocupação crescente dos órgãos ambientais, pois o volume de resíduos produzidos pelas diferentes atividades antrópicas, sem destinação adequada, compromete a qualidade do meio ambiente. No Brasil, é recente a preocupação com o tratamento e a disposição final dos resíduos sólidos. Este trabalho aplicou o Índice de Qualidade de Aterros de Resíduos nos municípios da bacia do Alto Taquari no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul e a partir dos resultados, propor ações para melhoria das situações inadequadas. A aplicação do Índice de Qualidade de Aterro de Resíduos (IQR) desenvolvido pela Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (CETESB) foi realizada por meio de visitas nos locais de disposição final e a partir da avaliação foi perceptível que a grande maioria dos municípios ainda utilizam lixões como local de disposição final, esse fato repercutiu no baixo índice em oito cidades e apenas um aterro apresentou índice alto.

GIS- and MCD-based suitability assessment for optimized location of solid waste landfills in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Despite recent advancements in waste management technologies, landfills remain the dominant approach for the final disposal of solid waste (SW) around the world. However, landfills are associated with adverse environmental and health-related impacts. This study is primarily applied to Dar es Salaam, a city in the East African region that has failed to follow appropriate approaches for site selection and that the methods used to select the current sites are manually operated. The study used a geographical information system (GIS) combined with multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) to objectively determine the optimal landfill sites. A comprehensive list of assessment criteria was examined through a computerized site selection procedure based on GIS to analyze the ground that was surveyed and to remotely obtain data. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP)-one of the best MCDA approaches-was used to assign relative weight and evaluate each criterion. Finally, the study computed site suitability indices (SSIs), which aids in the identification of site suitability levels (SSLs) for the entire region. The final suitability map produced by overlaying the criteria map layers showed that a large part of the study area (60.92%) was completely unsuitable for landfill siting. The remaining areas consisted of land with varying suitability level, which were grouped into four classes: very low (30.92%), low (2.05%), moderate (5.65%), and high (0.46). To this end, only the high suitability class (0.46%) was of acceptable suitability levels (ASLs) (SSI ≥ 2.0). From the numerous identified sites with ASL, only three sites were suggested. Due to concerns regarding the lifespan and environment-related risks associated with these suggested sites, there is a need to further study new environmentally friendly techniques, considering the importance of circular economy agenda of waste to resource/energy for sustainable solid waste management.

RESPONSABILIDADE COMPARTILHADA: O PAPEL DO CONSUMIDOR NO DESCARTO DO LIXO ELETRÔNICO

Um dos principais problemas ambientais com que se defrontam as grandes cidades está relacionado ao tratamento e à disposição adequada dos resíduos sólidos urbanos. Os componentes eletrônicos descartados de forma incorreta representam o tipo de resíduo sólido de maior crescimento no mundo, mesmo em países em desenvolvimento. O lixo eletrônico é considerado um grave problema para o ambiente e para a saúde, pois contém metais pesados altamente tóxicos. A logística reversa é uma atividade ampla que envolve todas as operações relacionadas com a reutilização de produtos e materiais. A responsabilidade compartilhada foi sugerida como resposta para os problemas que envolvem a destinação final dos resíduos sólidos, impondo que todas as partes comprometidas se responsabilizem pelo tratamento e direcionamento adequado dos resíduos gerados após o consumo. O papel do consumidor na responsabilidade compartilhada é um ponto crítico para o sucesso da logística reversa. A população, como um todo, precisa se sensibilizar com a temática do lixo eletrônico e buscar alternativas para amenizar esse problema. Pode-se inferir que os consumidores ainda não dispõem de informações suficientes sobre o descarte correto do lixo eletrônico, os malefícios que esse lixo pode provocar à saúde e ao meio ambiente e, principalmente, sobre a responsabilidade que lhes compete dentro da política de logística revessa. Além disso, existe o agravante do difícil acesso aos postos de coleta. Para que haja um maior engajamento da população, faz-se necessário que o poder público e as empresas produtoras de eletrônicos se unam na promoção de maiores esforços, a fim de reverter esse quadro.

Diagnóstico dos danos ambientais, riscos e perigos presentes no lixão de Massaranduba – PB

A disposição final dos resíduos sólidos produzidos diariamente tornou-se um empecilho, sendo fonte geradora de diversos impactos ambientais, favorecendo a degradação ambiental. Para minimizar esses efeitos, existem alguns métodos de disposição final como: lixões; aterros sanitários (controlado e sanitário); compostagem e reciclagem. Porém o mais utilizado na região Nordeste são os lixões, todavia, este método e o mais agressivo ao meio ambiente. Nesse contexto, é necessário realizar uma análise preliminar de riscos e o Checklist com o intuito de prever o quanto os resíduos podem prejudicar o solo, a água e o ar de determinada localidade, determinando assim seus riscos e perigos. Esta pesquisa foi baseada na avaliação dos danos ambientais diagnosticados por meio do conhecimento dos riscos e perigos apresentados no gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos urbanos e no lixão. Inicialmente foi elaborado um questionário para ser aplicado aos garis e catadores responsáveis pela coleta seletiva do lixão e da cooperativa de reciclagem do referido município. Após a primeira etapa, foram quantificados os dados acerca dos riscos e perigos desses materiais. Os resultados obtidos por meio das respostas dos questionários comprovaram que os garis e coletores não usam todos os equipamentos de proteção individual, sendo expostos a riscos e perigos eventuais do trabalho. A quantificação do nível de risco médio foi crítico e a magnitude do perigo foi média, valores preocupantes, porém possíveis de serem revertidos.

Propuesta de sistema de gestión de residuos sólidos domésticos en la comunidad Waorani Gareno de la Amazonía ecuatoriana

La comunidad Waorani Gareno, ubicada en la parroquia rural Chonta Punta de la provincia de Napo, Amazonía ecuatoriana, ha presentado un incremento en la generación de residuos sólidos domésticos (RSD) debido principalmente a la apertura de vías para el asentamiento del campo petrolero bloque 21 de la empresa operadora ecuatoriana Petroamazonas EP. Todo ello ha provocado un mayor acceso a los bienes y servicios prestados en las ciudades, cambiando su modo de vida y generando un nuevo tipo de residuos. En el presente trabajo se determinó la dinámica cuantitativa y cualitativa de generación, y la producción per cápita diaria (PPC) de residuos sólidos en la comunidad mediante la metodología usada para el análisis de los residuos sólidos establecida por la Organización Panamericana de Salud (OPS). Para tal actividad se consideró como muestra a toda la población, es decir a los 174 habitantes distribuidos en 32 viviendas y se obtuvieron como resultados que la quema de los residuos es el proceso principal para su eliminación y que no existe un sistema de manejo adecuado de los mismos. La PPC calculada fue de 0.26 kg/hab/día con una generación total diaria de 45.39 kg, lo cual demuestra todavía un bajo acceso de la población a materiales y productos urbanos. En cuanto a la caracterización física de los residuos se determinó que la mayor parte corresponde a contenido orgánico con un 74.8%, y la parte inorgánica aprovechable a un 18.1%. Además, a partir de los resultados obtenidos se plantearon alternativas de recolección, transporte, tratamiento y disposición final de los residuos sólidos en la comunidad Gareno, dentro del diseño de un sistema de gestión integral.

Selection of suitable areas for landfill installation in a Brazilian municipality through free software spatial analysis

Municipal solid waste (MSW) increasing generation is related to population growth and higher consumption patterns. MSW management is still considered an issue for Brazilian municipalities due to its high complexity, specificity and amount. Landfills are considered a suitable method for final disposal of solid waste, being the technique used in Brazil. Among numerous applications, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been widely applied to select sites for landfills implementation. To meet regulatory requirements, choosing a landfill site requires several studies that consume time and resources. The aim of this work was to identify, through the use of GIS, areas that met regulatory and normative standards to landfill installation in a medium sized Brazilian city. It was possible to select three appropriate areas for the location of a landfill in the studied municipality. Considering the need for municipalities to comply with legislation, which demands the elimination of waste disposal in dumps and controlled landfills, properly designed and localized landfills are essential to the Brazilian reality in terms of MSW integrated management. The GIS is evidenced as an effective tool, since it reduces the number of field surveys, optimizing time and reducing economic and human resources needs for the landfill project preparation phase

Air Quality Measurement at the Solid Waste Disposal of Matuail Landfill Site at Dhaka, Bangladesh

An investigation was conducted to assess the air quality impact and possible health risk of solid waste disposal on surrounding environment of Matuail landfill site in Dhaka city. Three different locations were selected for soil and plant samples. Leachate samples were collected from active dumping area and fish samples from treated leachate pond. Seven different locations were selected for air quality and health risk assessments. It is found that Cu, Zn and Pb concentrations were high in the soil of dumping and abandoned areas that exceeded the permissible limits. The heavy metal concentrations in plant samples did not show any significant contamination except Cu, Zn and Pb that also exceeded the permissible limits. The concentrations of DO, BOD, COD and TDS of the untreated leachate were found 1.34 mg L-1, 96 mg L-1, 1343 mg L-1 and 7120 mg L-1, respectively that exceeded inland surface water standard but after treatment its concentrations were found within the permissible limits. The presence of heavy metals in leachate sample was not contaminated as it was below the toxic limits. The bioaccumulation of fish sample from treated pond is extremely high of Fe, Mn, Pb and Ni that exceeded the WHO’s permissible limits. The air quality results showed that the Matuail landfill surrounding sites did not have an adverse effect. The air pollutants such as NOx, SO2, SPM, PM10, PM2.5 and CO contents are within national standard limits. Overall, the risk assessments demonstrated that potential air emissions from the Matuail Landfill site do not pose public health risks. It is clear that if the dumping landfill site is properly managed by segregating the waste according to their source, then this waste could be used as compost or organic manures. However, by maintaining disposal sites with controlled placement and proper treatment of the waste may reduce the possible adverse impact on air, human health and agri-environmental eco-systems. Further investigation on the impacts related to the final disposal of solid waste and the future landfill requirement at different composting and a comparative study is suggested.
