“…Table 5 presents a summary of SWM systems in chronological order that are based on RS technology. Applications of RS based systems in SWM includes disposal site selection (Adeofun et al, 2011;Jensen and Christensen, 1986), environmental features and impact monitoring for solid waste disposal site (Folkard et al, 1998;Yang et al, 2008;Zhao et al, 2005) and environmental impact assessment of buried waste (Irvine et al, 1997;Oluic et al, 2006).

One of the main problems Brazil faces in solid waste management is the existence of dumpsites that must be closed. For the shutdown process, an environmental assessment should be performed, which requires knowledge of the history of these sites. This study is often hampered by the lack of past records on the waste disposal activities in these places, especially when they are very old. In this context, the analysis of multitemporal remote sensing images and aerial photographs is an interesting tool for the identification and study of the development of inadequate waste disposal sites. In the present study, these techniques were used to assess former dumps in four municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The analysis comprised satellite images and aerial photographs between 1960 and 2010. They enabled the obtainment of information on the progress of activities in the dumps and their surroundings, on how the waste disposal occurred, and on the end of operations and the revegetation process. With geographic information system (GIS) support, information from different data sources was crossed with previous databases, thus allowing the obtainment of greater data structure for a better interpretation of the available information. Thus, the interpretation of multitemporal remote sensing images and aerial photographs allowed a better interpretation of the posterior environmental assessment data through the knowledge of the context in which these were inserted.

Visible and Infrared Remote Imaging of Hazardous Waste: A Review

Abstract:One of the critical global environmental problems is human and ecological exposure to hazardous wastes from agricultural, industrial, military and mining activities. These wastes often include heavy metals, hydrocarbons and other organic chemicals. Traditional field and laboratory detection and monitoring of these wastes are generally expensive and time consuming. The synoptic perspective of overhead remote imaging can be very useful for the detection and remediation of hazardous wastes. Aerial photography has a long and effective record in waste site evaluations. Aerial photographic archives allow temporal evaluation and change detection by visual interpretation. Multispectral aircraft and satellite systems have been successfully employed in both spectral and morphological analysis of hazardous wastes on the landscape and emerging hyperspectral sensors have permitted determination of the specific contaminants by processing strategies using the tens or hundreds of acquired wavelengths in the solar reflected and/or thermal infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. This paper reviews the literature of remote sensing and overhead imaging in the context of hazardous waste and discusses future monitoring needs and emerging scientific research areas.
