DEVELOPING A SET OF DEVICES FOR CREATING AN EMISSION PROGNOSIS FOR PLANNING A COMPOSTING PLANT
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
The emission and immission of odour pose an important problem while planning and operating a composting plant. A number of mechanical and biological processes are used for composting bio-waste. The emissions produced considerably pollute the environment of the plant and however unavoidable can in any case be reduced. The emission prognosis according to approval procedures as given in the immission protection rights is the basis for predicting the expected immissions ( propagation calculation) in the environment of the plant and therefore a deciding step for the plant neighbourhood with respect to the pollution potential.

PROGRESS TOWARDS A BEST PRACTICE METHOD FOR MODELLING DISPERSION OF BIOAEROSOLS FROM COMPOSTING FACILITIES
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
The promotion of composting in the UK as a more sustainable waste management option has led to concerns regarding exposure of the public to potentially harmful emissions of airborne microorganisms or bioaerosols. The composting process is reliant on various micro-organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, to break down the organic matter. However, if as a result of composting operations these micro-organisms become airborne, may be breathed in, and due to their small size, can penetrate deep into the human respiratory system. Conditions such as farmer’s lung disease and aspergillosis (Latgé, 1999) have been linked to high concentrations of bioaerosols, although dose-response relationships are not well defined.

LEACHING BEHAVIOUR AND CO2 SEQUESTRATION CAPACITY OF ACCELERATED CARBONATED MSWI APC RESIDUES

Climate change control and sustainable management of natural resources and waste are two of the four priority fields of intervention approved during the U.N. World Summit on sustainable development held in Johannesburg in 2002, which has set the legislative guidelines for European environmental policies until 2012. Concerning the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technologies have been indicated as one of the most viable and effective measures to be applied in the short term, at least until energy production will still rely on fossil fuels combustion (IPCC, 2005). One of the CCS techniques presently investigated mimics natural rock weathering processes by which CO2 is stored as thermodynamically stable carbonates by carbonation of Ca and Mg silicate minerals (wollastonite, serpentine and olivine).

LANDFILL FIRE AT THESSALONIKI, GREECE: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND ABATEMENT MEASURES
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
The landfill for the east side of the Thessaloniki metropolitan area is located at Tagarades’community limits, at a distance of 30 km from the center of the serviced area. The landfill site covers 300,000 m2 and operates continuously since September 1981. This site will continue to accept wastes until 2007 when the new landfill site located at MAVRORAHI II, 38 km northwest of Thessaloniki, is expected to start operation. The Tagarades landfill serves a total population of 1,000,000 people.
