Industrial Waste Management Quiz 1 Waste Engineering under general direction, to perform a variety of engineering duties concerning solid

d waste; including landfill monitoring and design, waste reduction, recycling, special wastes, landfill tours/public education, resource recovery; and to do related work as required. Waste Management waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and biological sciences, to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. The branch of science that deals with the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment and their effects on organisms. Environmental Engineering the technology concerned with the reduction of pollution, contamination, and deterioration of the surroundings in which humans live. Environmental engineering includes many different tasks such as water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, public health issues, and even studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects. Garbage putrescible waste resulting from the preparation of food. Trash combustible and non-combustible solid waste which are nonputrescible. Also known as rubbish. Recycling the retrieval of materials or products for different purpose. Reuse reprocess of materials or products for the same purpose.

Treatment refers to the activities required to ensure that waste has the least practicable impact on the environment. In many countries various forms of waste treatment are required by law. Disposal proper disposition of a discarded or discharged material in accordance with local environmental guidelines or laws. Waste Utilization using an agricultural or other waste on land in an environmentally acceptable manner while maintaining or improving soil and plant resources. Waste Minimization measures or techniques that reduce the amount of wastes generated during industrial production processes; term is also applied to recycling and other efforts to reduce the amount of waste going into the waste stream. Minimization of waste at its source to minimize the quantity required to be treated and disposed of, achieved usually through better product design and/or process management. Municipal Solid Waste combination of residential, light commercial and demolition debris. Usually being served by municipal collection. Refuse interchangeably used with solid waste. All those materials that are solid or semi-solid which the possessor no longer considers of sufficient value to retain. Republic Act law passed by Congress (bicameral legislative branch) Administrative Order act of Cabinet Secretary which relates to particular aspects of government operations pursuant to duties as administrative head of government

Influent the stream of water that enters any system or treatment unit. Effluent the sewage or industrial liquid waste that is released into natural water by sewage treatment plants, industry, or septic tanks. Emission waste discharged into air.

Hierarchy of Waste Source Reduction Reuse/Recycle Treatment Disposal Source Reduction are activities designed to reduce the volume or toxicity of waste generated, including the design and manufacture of products with minimum toxic content, minimum volume of material, and/or a longer useful life. Recycling the retrieval of materials or products for different purpose. Reuse reprocess of materials or products for the same purpose. Treatment refers to the activities required to ensure that waste has the least practicable impact on the environment. In many countries various forms of waste treatment are required by law. Disposal proper disposition of a discarded or discharged material in accordance with local environmental guidelines or laws.

Environmental Laws body of rules and regulations, and orders and statutes, concerned with the maintenance and protection of the natural environment of a country. It provides basis for measuring and apportioning liability in cases of environmental crime and the failure to comply with its provisions. Environmental Impact Assessment is an assessment of the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on the environment, together consisting of the environmental, social and economic aspects. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the ensuing environmental impacts when deciding whether to proceed with a project. Sustainable Development continuous development without compromising resources for future generations. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts:

the concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs."
