© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. Willingness to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries is necessary but not sufficient for project success. This is a case study of a transdisciplinary project whose success was constrained by contextual factors that ultimately favoured technical and scientific forms of knowledge over the cultur...
© IWA Publishing 2016 Water Science & Technology. Dewatering of sludge from sewage treatment plants is proving to be a significant challenge due to the large amounts of residual sludges generated annually. In recent years, research and development have focused on improving the dewatering process in order to reduce subsequent costs of sludge managem...
© 2016 The Author(s). The objective of this work was to quantify the number of exoelectrogens in wastewater capable of producing current in a microbial fuel cell by adapting the classical most probable number (MPN) methodology using current production as end point. Inoculating a series of microbial fuel cells with various dilutions of domestic wast...
© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Adsorption using low-cost adsorbents is a favourable water treatment method for the removal of water contaminants. In this study the enhanced removal of nitrate, a contaminant at elevated concentration affecting human health and causing eutrophication of water, was tested using chemically modified agricultural wastes as adsorbe...
Les sociétés contemporaines sont marquées par la généralisation de conflits d'aménagement. Dans le domaine de la gestion des déchets, les oppositions à l'implantation d’équipements (décharges, incinérateurs ou plateformes de compostage) se multiplient malgré le renforcement des normes environnementales et la mise en place de procédures d’informatio...
Rapid innovation in printed circuit board, and the uncertainties surrounding quantification of the human and environmental health impacts of e-waste disposal have made it difficult to confirm the influence of evolving e-waste management strategies and regulatory policies on materials. To assess these influences, we analyzed hazardous chemicals in a...
Sverige är ett av de länder med högst återvinnings- och skräphanteringsratio. Mängden deponi har minskat mer och mer under de senaste åren och ersatts med fler återvinningsmetoder samt energiåtervinning. Dock så är en hög andel av det material som förbränns och hamnar på deponi fortfarande användingsbart vid återvinning. Därför finns det ett behov ...
More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas and this figure is expected to increase. The worldwide trend is in the direction of urbanization. Building sustainable cities is one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) initiated by United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. In the anthropocene of human induced cli...
Abstract Objectives: to propose a tool to facilitate diagnosis, formulation and evaluation of the Waste Management Plan in Primary Healthcare Centers and to present the results of the application in four selected units. Method: descriptive research, covering the stages of formulation /application of the proposed instrument and the evaluation of was...
