Ultrafine and nanoparticles emissions from hospital waste incineration: characterization and chemical speciation.

(Corresponding) Cernuschi S., Lonati G., Ozgen S., Signorini S.

Topic:

Air pollution

Focus on atmospheric particulate matter has recently steadily shifted towards finer size fractions, namely those particles with dimensions included from 2.5 µm down to the minimum practical detection limit of few nm. These fractions share the higher burden of health related effects arising from...Read more

Challenging the belief that organic waste and plastic should be diverted from landfill on climate change grounds:

(Corresponding) Hutton B., Norrish M., Horan E.

Topic:

Solid waste management

Abstract Landfill is generally believed to have higher greenhouse gas emissions than composting or waste-to-energy. The EU Landfill Directive requires nations to progressively divert biodegradable waste away from landfill. Waste disposal in landfill is at the bottom of its Waste Hierarchy. Many...Read more
