Abstract

The selection of landfill sites for disposal of municipal solid waste is an important challenge for the engineering system. In this study, selection procedure of an appropriate landfill site among the four landfill sites for disposal of waste in Allahabad (India) is highlighted. A questionnaire comprising physical/chemical, biological/ecological, social/cultural and economic/operational aspects was prepared. A survey was conducted among the residents near all four landfill sites. The responses were analysed with a rapid impact assessment matrix tool to quantify the intangible effects in terms of environmental score. Environmental performance index (EPI) was also computed for all four sites to intelligibly ascertain the efficacy of each solid waste disposal facility. The results revealed that Ganja landfill site was the best site as compared with the other sites. The EPI of Kareli, Alopibagh, Phaphamau and Ganja sites was –110.315, –123.541, –98.867 and –54.586, respectively.
基于快速影响评价矩阵和环境绩效指标分析的固体废物处置场地选择方法
城市生活垃圾填埋场的选址是工程系统面临的一个重要挑战。在本研究中,重点介绍了阿拉哈巴德(印度)四个垃圾填埋场中选择合适的垃圾填埋场的过程。编写了一份包括物理/化学、生物/生态、社会/文化和经济/业务方面的调查表。在四个垃圾填埋场附近的居民中进行了一项调查。使用快速影响评估矩阵工具对响应进行分析,以环境得分量化无形影响。并计算了所有四个场址的环境绩效指数(EPI),以明确确定每个固体废物处理设施的效能。结果表明,大麻填埋场是最佳选址。Kareli、Alopibagh、Phaphamau和Ganja的EPI分别为-110.315、-123.541、-98.867和-54.586。

期刊介绍: IJEP provides an international forum in the field of environment and pollution and addresses early and medium-term challenges involving scientific prediction, modelling and assessment. It focuses on ground-breaking research in the science of environmental pollution, at the early scientific stage. It is one of three key journals which together offer complete coverage of environmental issues: IJETM focuses on technical/engineering, policy and management solutions for environmental problems, and IJGEnvI focuses on future, longer-term environmental scenarios, ecological economics, climate change and biodiversity.
