Comprehensive Planning for Classification and Disposal of Solid Waste at the Industrial Parks regarding Health and Environmental Impacts

Abstract EN

The aim of this study is the comprehensive planning for integrated management of solid waste at the industrial parks.

The share of each industrial group including food, metal, chemical, non-metallic minerals, textile, electrical and electronical, and cellulose industries were 48.2, 14.9, 6.7, 22, 0.9, 0.6, and 6.5 percent, respectively.

The results showed that nearly half of total industrial waste produced from the range of biological materials are biodegradable and discharging them without observing environmental regulations leads to short-term pollution and nuisance in the acceptor environment.

Also some parts of case study waste were recyclable which is considerable from viewpoint of economical and environmental pollution.

Long-term impacts will appear due to improper site selection of disposal from the spatial standpoint.

In this way, an approach for site selection using several socioeconomic, physical, and environmental criteria based on multicriteria decision making model (MCDM) is introduced.

Health risks and environment pollution such as soil and surface water may be done.

It is essential to revise the studied industries layout, particularly those units which produce special waste which should be more cautious.

Also stricter enforcement is required as an effective step in reducing the harmful impacts of it.
