Isotopic Differentiation (δ18OPO4) of Inorganic Phosphorus among Organic Wastes for Nutrient Runoff Tracing Studies: A Summary of the Literature with Refinement of Livestock Estimates for Grand Lake St. Marys Watershed (Ohio)

The use of stable isotopes, specifically δ18OPO4 ratios, in differentiating potential sources of inorganic phosphorus (e.g., wastewater, septic, wild animals, domesticated animals, livestock, substrates, or commercial fertilizers) to watersheds is a growing field. This method produces data that, used in conjunction with statistical mixing models, enables a better understanding of contributing sources of runoff. However, given the recent development of this research area there are obvious limitations that have arisen, due in large part to the limited available reference data to compare water samples. Here, we attempt to expand the availability of reference samples by applying stable isotope methods to three types of common agricultural manures: poultry, dairy, and swine. We also aim to concatenate the organic waste literature on this topic, creating a more robust comparison database for future study and application in phosphorus source partitioning research. Among our samples, δ18OPO4 ratios for poultry were considerably elevated compared to dairy and swine manures (values of 18.5‰, 16.5‰, and 17.9‰, respectively). Extending this to other published ratios of δ18OPO4 from various types of waste products (e.g., septic, wastewater, livestock, other animals), a total range from 8.7‰ to 23.1‰ emerged (with existing poultry manure samples also ranking among the highest overall). Variation among samples in the larger dataset demonstrates the need for a further compilation of δ18OPO4 ratios for various types of waste, especially specific to geographic regions and watershed scales. With an increased sample size, the statistical strength associated with these methods would greatly improve.

Potret Kesadaran Masyarakat Dalam Mengelola Sampah Rumah Tangga

The aim of this research is to understand the extent to which the Sentiong community cares about managing household waste. The method used is descriptive qualitative using data collection techniques carried out through investigations and interviews. The results of the research imply that the awareness of the Sentiong community in dominating household waste is still in the small category. This is due to the large amount of waste being thrown away haphazardly, the lack of waste sorting, and the lack of public knowledge. Throwing away rubbish is a daily activity that everyone does, this can lead to deviant behavior if it is carried out by people who behave badly towards the environment. Waste can cause problems, but it can also strengthen the economic life of the community. Various types of waste produced from industry and households, if not managed well and correctly, will have the potential to weaken the community's economy, this is because it will absorb quite a large amount of funds for handling waste that is not managed well and correctly, which is considered from a hygiene, health and environmental perspective.
