Study of solid municipal waste accumulation rates in penitentiary facilities in Perm Krai during the pandemic of 2020

Abstract

Preventing the release of hazardous substances from waste into the environment is the most important environmental safety objective of municipal waste management. Uncontrolled dumping in landfills has a negative impact on the environment, being a source of harmful chemical and biological substances in the ground and surface waters, atmospheric air and soil, creating a certain threat to the health and life of the population. At present, the environmental problem associated with the collection and disposal of solid municipal waste (MSW) and is relevant not only for civil organisations, but also for institutions of the penitentiary system. The volume of MSW flows needs to be constantly updated, and therefore an average annual waste generation rate needs to be determined. The research described in the article was carried out during four seasons of 2020 at the facilities of the penal and correctional system of Perm Krai, on the example of remand prisons. The methodology for performing calculations based on the current regulatory documents is presented: methodological recommendations on issues related to the determination of MSW accumulation standards, approved by Order No. 524 of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation dated July 28, 2016 and the Russian Government Decree No. 269 dated April 4, 2016 "On determining the accumulation standards for solid municipal waste". As a result of the work, the average daily and average annual volumes and masses of waste generated per person were determined. Fluctuations in waste generation during the four seasons were insignificant.

Analysis of community participation in waste management that supports the agricultural sector in Takalar

“…The government must avoid waste mismanagement because it hurts the environment and public health. The chemical and biological substances produced harm the ground and surface water, air, and soil pollution (Oktariani et al, 2022;Sereda et al, 2022;Ulanova et al, 2022) Waste management still varies from one region to another. Some have carried out campaigns or counseling and assistance to implement 3R, set up waste banks, compost, decompose organic waste using magot, make regulations on waste, supervise and enforce laws, and provide adequate facilities and infrastructure, efficient transport routes using GPS.…”
