8. Landfill (after care)
Introduction
When is a landfill not a problem for the environment?
One of the open questions concerning (controlled) landfills concerns the long-term behaviour of emissions and, more generally, the sustainability of the landfill (environmentally, economically and socially).
The scientific community considers a landfill to be sustainable if emissions at the end of landfill closure do not alter (significantly) the quality of air, water and soil.
To ensure sustainability, this balance must be achieved within a generation, commonly considered to be around 30 years, so as not to "compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs" (definition of sustainable development, Brundtland Report 1987).
In this course, we will discuss:

11. Environment, safety, health in solid waste management
Introduction
One of the major environmental problems that most developing countries are facing, is improper solid waste disposal and management strategies. Ever since the industrial revolution, solid waste has been a major environmental issue. Besides the waste, generated in public places, they are also those from industries, farms, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and other sources.
One of the major environmental problems that most developing countries are facing, is improper solid waste disposal and management strategies. Ever since the industrial revolution, solid waste has been a major environmental issue. Besides the waste, generated in public places, they are also those from industries, farms, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and other sources.
While some of the garbage, refuse, sludge, trash, and rubbish are biodegradable (e.g., paper products, food droppings, as well as vegetation like grass and twigs), others are not and they include metals, aluminum cans, plastics, broken computers, and car parts. As they do not decay easily, they pile up in landfills and refuse dumps and these bring great harm to the water, land, and people around it. The lack of efficient waste management practices leads to health hazards, unsightliness, traffic congestion, blockage of drainages, and unpleasantness.
Solid wastes could be defined as non-gaseous and non-liquid products of human activities, considered as being useless. Improved waste management and a sustainable environment offer opportunities for health improvements, income generation, and reduced vulnerability. The problems of waste disposal are becoming complex as population and industrial production increase and hence waste generation has also increased. Due to the rapid growth of the population, solid waste management has become particularly difficult today.
