Solid and Hazardous Wastes

Catalog description

With industrialization, humans have produced a variety of solid and hazardous wastes that have negatively impacted ecosystems and human health around the world. This course covers three main topics: 1) municipal solid waste handling and disposal (including landfill-gas-to energy, direct waste-to-energy, and recycling options); 2) the fate and transport of hazardous wastes that have been released into the environment through air, soil, and water; and 3) the selection and design of appropriate remediation technologies for soil and groundwater contaminated with hazardous wastes.
