Air Quality Assessment, Emissions Inventory and Source Apportionment Studies: Mumbai

admin — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:15:58 +0000

Open burning of MSW is the largest air polluter in Mumbai among sources which do not contribute to the economy of the city. It is the second largest emitter of hydrocarbons (HC), and particulate matter (PM), fourth largest emitter of carbon monoxide (CO). It is the third largest source of PM, CO, and HC combined together. Up to 10% of MSW dumped in landfills and 2% of MSW left on the streets in subjected to open burning, which emits pollutants into the lower atmosphere, thereby increasing the risk of exposure.

What a Waste – A Global Review of Solid Waste Management

This report estimates that today these amounts have increased to about 3 billion residents generating 1.2 kg per person per day (1.3 billion tonnes per year). By 2025 this will likely increase to 4.3 billion urban residents generating about 1.42 kg/capita/day of municipal solid waste (2.2 billion tonnes per year). This report provides consolidated data on MSW generation, collection, composition, and disposal by country and by region.

Sustainable Solid Waste Management in India by Ranjith Annepu (January, 2012)

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 17:50:10 +0000

This study examined the present status of waste management in India, its effects on public health and the environment, and the prospects of introducing improved means of disposing municipal solid waste (MSW) in India. The systems and techniques discussed are Informal and Formal Recycling, Aerobic Composting and Mechanical Biological Treatment, Small Scale Biomethanation, Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), Waste-to-Energy Combustion (WTE), and Landfill Mining (or Bioremediation).

Feasibility Analysis of Waste-to-Energy as a Key Component of Integrated Solid Waste Management in Mumbai, India by Perinaz Bhada (July, 2007)

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:30:35 +0000

The objective of this report is to examine the solid waste management process in Mumbai, from generation to final disposal, and determine whether waste-to-energy is a suitable method for waste disposal for the city. Various criteria are covered, such as the appropriateness of Mumbai’s MSW for incineration, the environmental effects of WTE versus open dumping, the savings in availability and cost of land, and the amount of energy production from a waste-to-energy facility.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
