Evaluating the performance of solid waste management models
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 2
The great variety of available Solid Waste Management System (SWMS) models, along with a plethora of continuously developing technological advancements in the design and operation of the treatment facilities and collection and transport schemes, the continous updating of national (and/or European) regulations on waste management and the increased computer literacy and availability, renders the selection of a SWMS model a complex endeavor. From the view point of a municipality, the following ques...

Methods and procedures for environmental risk assessment
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 6
AbstractThis work presents the state of the art of qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methodologies in a variety of fields. Because risk exists in all ranges of human activity, both private and professional, risk assessment is an attempt to analyze precipitating causes of risk in order to more efficiently reduce its probability and effects. Numerous methodological guidelines within the field of environmental science exist to provide guidance for a risk assessment program, although the ...

Improving energy efficiency in water distribution systems based on water consumption profiling
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 7Nr. 3
AbstractTogether with other public utilities, water supply systems management aims to provide an efficient operation of the system and lower operational costs. In complex water distribution systems there is a large variety of consumers, which differ from one another not only by values of inflows, but also by how this inflows vary from hour to hour. This paper presents a self-organizing based approach to the problem of classification of water consumption profiles from the nodes of a water distrib...

Emerging processes for soil and groundwater cleanup - potential benefits and risks
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 8Nr. 5
Abstract The cleanup of environmental pollution involves a variety of techniques, ranging from simple biological processes to advanced engineering technologies. Cleanup activities may also address a wide range of contaminants. Technologies to remediate contaminated soil fall into two principal clean-up approaches: in-situ (which is always done onsite), or ex-situ (which can be done on- or off-site). In-situ treatment deals with contamination without removing material from the ground, while ex...

DEVELOPMENT OF A KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING PARTICULATE MATTER AIR POLLUTION EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 3
Analyzing and reducing the possible effects of air pollution on human health became important issues for improving the quality of life in urban areas. Particulate matters (PM) are air pollutants with a potential important impact on human health of vulnerable people (e.g., children, elderly) and non-vulnerable people as well. The level of PM air pollution is mainly influenced by the PM concentration and parameters such as meteorological conditions and synergic effects of other air pollutants. The...

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR MANAGING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT USED IN HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 6
Areas within which could arise explosive atmospheres having high concentrations, therefore requiring special precautions so as to guard the health and safety of concerned employees, are considered to be dangerous. If the electrical equipment used in these hazardous locations is not properly selected and installed for operating in explosive atmospheres, they are likely to generate an ignition and to result in explosion type events with significant environmental and material damages and, moreover...

PERCEPTION ABOUT THE APPLICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AT GOLF COURSES IN SPAIN
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 1
A wide variety of environmental management systems (EMSs) exist today that can be implemented at golf courses in Spain, yet their implementations are not known. The objective of this paper was to conduct an exploratory study to learn about the perception of the present state of EMS applications at Spanish golf courses. An exhaustive study was conducted using a multiquestion paper-based survey that was given to the greenkeepers at 428 Spanish golf courses, and the survey achieved a 13.7% resp...

AN EXAMINATION INTO RECYCLING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS BY UK EMPLOYEES
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 1
This paper examines employees’ work-related attitudes to recycling and waste management systems whilst retaining a link with personal domestic behavior. A questionnaire of 38 Likert-type items measured employee attitudes to environmental, waste management and recycling, environmental and sustainability concerns, perceived costs and benefits to the company. The hypotheses included demographic differences in attitudes, that attitudes and behavior are related and that behaviors transfer from...

EFFECTIVENESS FACTOR APPROACH FOR CHEMICAL ABSORPTION PROCESS
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 4
Absorption of gases into liquids, with chemical reaction, is an important unit operation useful in many fields, especially synthesis of new products and waste gas treatment. Gas treatment means the separation of pollutants: acid gases, organic sulphur compounds, and other contaminants which may be found in gaseous streams. The absorption into liquid is a process almost exclusively used for removal of contaminants. The removal refers to retention of the majority of acid gases present in high conc...

INFLUENCE OF HUSK ON GRAIN CONTAMINATION BY Fusarium spp. AND Alternaria spp. IN HULLED SPELT (Triticum spelta L.)
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 4
Fusarium Head Blight is caused by several Fusarium species. Infections can result in mycotoxin contamination on cereals and associated foods. Harvested products are contaminated due to its secondary metabolites. The aim was to analyse the occurrence of spike Fusarium and Alternaria spp. in hulled Triticum spelta L. wheat species via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and the deoxynivalenol (DON) content analysis. Three varieties of spelt were used (Ceralio and Rubiota – winter and one ...

CODEVELOP RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FOR BLUE JOBS AND GROWTH IN THE MEDITERRANEAN - THE BLUEMED INITIATIVE
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 10
In the framework of the European Commission Blue Growth Strategy, a joint process among European countries has been put in place since 2014 to promote and implement research and innovation actions to increase the number of jobs in the marine and maritime sectors, commonly named ‘blue’, and pursue a sustainable growth in the Mediterranean area. The process has then been extended to the non-European (non-EU) Mediterranean countries. The natural and cultural uniqueness of the Mediterran...

VARIETY BEHAVIORS OF DEPTH AND SURFACE FILTER MEDIA WITH THE AGES FOR PLEATED FILTER CARTRIDGES
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 11
The aim of this study is to investigate a variety behaviors of two kinds of media (multiple-layer structures and multiple-layer structures combined with surface treatment, such as finer fibers) with ages using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and to determine the effect of fabric microstructures on cake formation and pulse cleaning. The results show that fine particles are readily deposited on the surface and inside depth filter medium. The fine fibers with diameters (~0.08 microns, this val...

STUDY OF VOLATILE COMPOUNDS OF ROMANIAN RED WINES AGED WITH OAK CHIPS
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 19Nr. 2
Wine aroma plays an essential role and can be considered one of the most important attributes of the overall wine quality. Generally, aroma is a remarkable complex chemical matrix comprising compounds from various chemical classes (alcohols, esters, acids, aldehydes, lactones, phenols, terpenes, ketones, norisoprenoids, etc.). Although some studies tackle wine aroma in general, the chemical changes attributed to wine aroma during the ageing process are still poorly understood. In this study, th...
