摘要

电子废物(E-waste)最近被认为是一个局限于约旦的问题。随着经济形势的变化和全球技术的发展，电子垃圾成为约旦垃圾流的一部分。有关电子垃圾的必要规定尚未到位。因此，对电子垃圾产生的可靠估计对政策制定者至关重要。考虑到有限的可用数据，本文描述了约旦电子垃圾产生的当前和未来的估计，即手机，个人电脑，电视，冰箱和洗衣机。据估计，约旦在2015年将产生约16,874吨电子废物，而目前的一代为15,211吨，约占该国倾倒的所有城市固体废物的0.7%。人均电子垃圾产生量预计将从2012年的人均2.38公斤增长到2015年的人均2.48公斤。从2007年到2012年的5年时间里，共有84533吨煤炭被淘汰。在2015年之前的3年里，预计将有49153吨被淘汰。

Estimation of Potential E-waste Generation in Jordan

Electronic waste (E-waste) has recently been perceived to be a problem confined to Jordan. The changing of economic scenarios and global technological development has contributed the amount of E-waste becomming part of the waste stream in Jordan. The necessary regulations regarding E-waste are not yet in place. Therefore, a reliable estimation of E-waste generation is crucial to policymakers. Considering the limited available data, this paper describes the current and future estimation of E-waste generation in Jordan, namely cell phones, personal computers, TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. Jordan is estimated to generate about 16,874 tons of E-waste in the year 2015, as compared to the present generation of 15,211 tones, accounting for about 0.7% of all municipal solid wastes dumped in the country. The average amount of E-waste produced per capita indicates it is estimated to grow from 2.38 kg/capita in 2012 to 2.48 kg/capita in 2015. Over a span of 5 years, from 2007 to 2012, a total of 84,533 tones became obsolete. In the 3 years prior to 2015, it is projected that an additional 49,153 tones will become obsolete.

期刊介绍： Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance. The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
