Waste Management 2010

[i]Call for Papers from WIT[/i] Fifth International Conference on Waste Management and Environment 12 - 14 July 2010 Tallinn, Estonia The International Conference on Waste Management and the Environment is organised every two years by the Wessex Institute of Technology in collaboration with other institutions. This fifth conference follows the success of previous meetings held in Cádiz (2002), Rhodes (2004), Malta (2006) and Granada (2008). Waste Management is becoming one of the key problems of the modern world, an international issue that is intensified by the volume and complexity of domestic and industrial waste discarded by society. Unfortunately, many of the practices adopted in the past were aimed at short-term solutions without sufficient regard or knowledge for long term implications on health, the environment or sustainability and this, in many cases, is leading to the need to take difficult and expensive remedial action. Conference topics: Advanced waste treatment technology Wastewater treatment Resources recovery Waste incineration and gasification Waste pre-treatment, separation and transformation Methodologies and practices Landfills, design, construction and monitoring Soil and groundwater clean-up Public awareness Air pollution control Hazardous waste Waste management Construction and demolition waste Costs and benefits of waste management options Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (3Rs) Energy from waste Electrical waste Rare metals Computer modelling Methodologies and practices Risk assessment Nuclear waste Environmental economics assessment Laws and regulations Biological treatments Agricultural wastes Papers are published in the Transactions of the Wessex Institute of Technology and distributed throughout the world.
