Cosmic radiation and radiations from natural radioactive elements present in the earth are the main sources of radiation that we generally exposed to. These are known as natural background sources. The artificial radiation exposure is almost totally medically related, with routine nuclear power activities contributing only a very small fraction of one percent to the daily exposure, an addition which can be best characterized as minor. Issues related to handling of radioactive wastes are presented in this report.


Solid Waste Management and Global Climate Change
Posted by webmaster on 2007/5/16 2:39:37 (332 reads)

There is a strong link between climate change and generation of waste. For example, methane gas, one  of the greenhouse gases, produced at solid waste disposal sites contributes around 3-4 percent to the annual global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Global emissions from landfills are expected to increase from 340 Tg CO2 eq in 1990 to 1500 Tg CO2 eq by 2030 and 2900 Tg CO2 eq by 2050 in the Baseline scenario.
