Course Number: EST 4101 Credit: 3 [3 hours per week for a period of 13 (3X13 hours) weeks] 1. Introduction: definition, sources and types of waste; physical and chemical properties of waste; general aspect of waste managements 2. Solid waste management: Definition and types of solid waste; Composition of solid waste, Onsite handling, storage and processing of solid waste; collection, transfer of municipal and domestic solid waste (with special reference to Bangladesh); 3. Disposal of municipal and industrial waste: Disposal design, recovery and recycling of household wastes, domestic garbage, bulk treatment on commercial scale, recycling of paper; different disposal methods; sludge treatment and disposal facilities 4. Hazardous waste: Types of hazardous waste, Identification and characteristics of hazardous waste; risk perception and risk assessment, toxicity consideration, one-hit mode, reasonable maximum exposure, risk characterization and risk management, transport regulations, disposal protocols. 5. Hazardous waste management: disposal, reuse and management; cleanup of hazardous waste contaminated sites; physical and chemical methods, biological detoxification and application of biotechnology, institutional and legal framework. 6. Radioactive Waste Management: Definition, sources and characteristics of radioactive wastes, effects of radiation on living organism, acute effect and delayed effect, risk estimates, radioactive waste management techniques, safe disposal, long term assessment, case study. 7.
