摘要

本研究全面分析了印度德里四个垃圾填埋场的城市固体废物（MSW）成分和特征。研究显示，所有垃圾填埋场的城市固体废物含水量都低于 40%，这影响了沥滤液的形成和微生物的活动。各垃圾填埋场的成分各不相同，Okhla 垃圾填埋场的纸张和塑料含量较高，而 Ghazipur 垃圾填埋场的木材含量较高。回收利用是一个关键重点，约 36.5% 的垃圾由塑料和纸张等可重复使用的材料组成。堆肥，尤其是蚯蚓堆肥，被证明是一种很有前景的废物处理方法，因为都市固体废物中含有大量有机物（约 75%）。这些研究结果对德里的废物管理政策具有重要意义，可鼓励采用可持续的做法和有效的废物处理策略，以实现更加绿色的未来。

Characterising and Analysing the Composition and Characteristics of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Delhi, India

This research presents a comprehensive analysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) composition and characteristics from four landfill sites in Delhi, India. The study reveals that the moisture content in the MSW from all sites was below 40%, impacting leachate formation and microbial activities. Varied compositions were observed among the sites, with the Okhla landfill having higher paper and plastic content, while the Ghazipur landfill exhibited elevated wood content. Recycling emerges as a crucial focus, with approximately 36.5% of the waste comprising reusable materials like plastic and paper. Composting, particularly vermicomposting, proves to be a promising waste disposal method due to the substantial organic content (approximately 75%) in the MSW. These findings hold significant implications for waste management policies in Delhi, encouraging sustainable practices and effective waste treatment strategies for a greener future.

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
