Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Waste management is one of the most important problems faced by modern society. As declared by The 7th Environment Action Programme (EAP), it is necessary to create a circular economy based both on the reduction of waste production and increased reuse and/or recycling as much as possible.
At the same time, is important to analyze the composition of the waste as precisely as possible in order to better plan and manage transport and treatment, to minimize the risk to the health of workers and the population, and to understand the social, economic, and health characteristics of the population that produces them. These objectives proved to be even more important in the SARS-CoV-2 era, for example, the correct management of hospital waste or analysis and the management of wastewater contaminated by the virus. On the one hand, wastewater is a risk factor for workers and on the other an early warning system for impending epidemics in the population.
This Special Issue will collect research and studies on innovative ways of analyzing and managing hazardous and/or solid waste.
The topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Analysis and/or management of municipal solid waste;
- Analysis and/or management of hospital waste;
- Analysis and/or management of hazardous waste;
- Analysis and/or management of wastewater;
- Innovative waste management to reduce emissions to air;
- Use of algorithms for the correct management and analysis of waste (e.g., machine learning, deep learning).
