Topic:
Solid waste management
In this work, with the support of the local municipality, we’ve collected for each highland region the data showing: the number of population, existence of the main sources causing waste, the quantity of the dumpster, the frequency of the waste removal with the relevant technic etc. Based on all...Read more
Negative role of uncontrolled landfills in Georgia in environmental pollution processes
Kuchava G., Buachidze N., Chikviladze K., Shubladze E.
Topic:
Solid waste management
In the laboratories the special research were carried to determine the pollution level in the samples collected, which due to the direct impact of these types of landfill sites on the surrounding areas, are often the main polluters of environment. The pollution conditions were studied based on...Read more

European and IMO framework on the disposal of ship waste - Greek legal interventions
(Corresponding) Dede P., Manologlou S., Tselentis V.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
For almost every type of ship-generated waste, there is a variety of waste flows and on-board treatment methods.
