Health Side Effects Of Using Space Heaters
Mafia throws innocent of Naples garbage crisis
not only in Germany is sometimes made botch. In other countries it works quite well.
Dr. Daniele Fortini, president of Naples' waste management company was ASIA Napoli, 2009, the journal Waste Management World (WMW / ISWA), an interview to the waste crisis (also published in Water World).
The allusion to the interviewer of ISWA on the run from the mafia illegal dumps it passes quickly. Apparently a taboo subject. No, it was rather located on 15 years of mismanagement. And mainly because they had to rely on the MBA technology as a final disposal method. There was a lack of upstream separate collection and disposal of the MBA product. That's when Alternative fuel to use and not otherwise unsuitable for incineration. So you have it wrapped in foil and then stored the bales. The operation of the MBA was directly dependent on the so-called Ecobales (Super neologism!) Come into the combustion and stabilized organic fraction to the landfill. This system, however, collapsed after a few months inefficient operation. There are now about 6 million tons of blue balls, you have to worry about.
Since the Camorra has again been lucky. Innocent.
And the Dottore Fortini, the lucky one is intact and still in office as President of ISWA Italy. The interviewer Helena Bergmann (ISWA secretary) has been around a lot. Born in Sweden, she previously worked for the French hazardous waste management Sarp Industries (Veolia). Since you do wait, as we have to deal with the Italian colleagues.
Waste experts claiming in the media about the Mafia and the garbage something else must have made a mistake ...
The original interview in English follows below.
The waste emergency in Palermo last year was caused by the way, twice striking garbage workers. They demanded the payment of their overtime. In addition, the fleet was in a dilapidated condition. They donated 300 pairs of regular workers working shoes. As to the huge have got.
for a new trouble spot could develop Peking / Beijing (15 - 20 million people, depending on the source). End of December 2009 the Government announced that the waste crisis could happen in four years. The amount of waste would rise annually by 8 percent and now amounts to 18 000 tonnes per day That statement means a disposal capacity of 11,000 tons per day over. Currently, 90 percent of the waste would be dumped. Incineration is rejected by the people, for fear of the exhaust gases. The experts will now focus on the image problem of combustion.

Controversially, the waste problem in Delhi (12 million inhabitants) is discussed. According to Indian environmental scientists would save the 150,000 informal waste collectors of the city an annual CO2 emissions of just under 1 million tonnes due to the material would be recycled. however, called for a better social status and better working conditions for the trash pickers are (rag pickers, waste pickers), which brought the city through the hiring of private waste companies compete. The daily waste quantity is 8500 t. Every year it grows by 9 percent. Actually you should both forms of disposal, hand carts and trucks collecting enough waste to be there.

So sends a delegation to the purpose of obtaining know-how to Germany, an Indian company charged with the reconstruction of the inspected facility in Germany - and then everything went wrong. The city has for months with the stench of problems in the Indian press. What had happened? The Indian contractor prepared a Detailed Project Report with more than 60 aircraft positions. After blessing almost all machines with cheaper domestic products has been replaced. Only two of Doppstadt Shredder corresponded to the original plan. Then we fired the system with mixed waste, which also contained animal carcasses and leather waste. It should produce alternative fuel by the combustion of the incoming waste is dried. Since then, caused the stench of wet substitute fuel and natural drying the incoming waste adequately. MPAs in the Indian.

From the warm India to a cooler region. The city fathers wanted to be in Ottawa, Canada especially cool. Since autumn 2009, the organic waste is now collected and introduced in early January 2010 also. So could the tiny inhabitants of the barrel in many generations to adapt a little of the winter. World organization is different from the composting facility has become so quickly done. She walked until the end of January 2010. Ottawa is one of the four coldest capitals of the world (after Moscow, Ulan Bator / Mongolia and Astana, Kazakhstan). The temperature drops in winter to below -30 degrees. As freezes the organic waste in minutes until the spring thaw and again. In Ottawa, you have no experience with the organic waste container.
From the Canadian Press show that many people are angry. Frozen waste, organic waste unnecessary fees, home composting is-always-better general frustration with city councils and the paper bags for organic waste are 4 dollars for 10 pieces far too expensive. "
The local waste management is still very great tips. Animals to stay away from the barrel, you could rub the rim of the lid with menthol. Or a ton against freeze inside sprayed with vegetable oil. But as we composted organic ice bomb? Orga World gezüchet about hungry Kryobakterien Fonte or the garbage?

At Lübeck might play a similar situation. Nehlsen is an out and then get scared again. Now being discussed to shut down the ailing MBA. Coming soon.

In April 2008, Daniele Fortini was named the CEO of ASIA Napoli - the City of Naples' waste management company. So he is President of spring atmosphere, Deputy President of CEWEP and President of ISWA Italy. Mr Fortini was interviewed by Helen Bergman from ISWA about the waste crisis in Naples, Italy.
Daniele Fortini
The waste crisis in Naples has gotten much attention – with critics blaming corruption, political foot-dragging and a mafia-run system of illegal industrial dumps for the ongoing trouble. What is the situation today?
The serious situation that now exists in the city and the metropolitan area of Naples, is a result of more than 15 years of errors and mismanagement. It is therefore not possible – nor are we able – to change the situation rapidly. We are learning how to solve the current situation in a sustainable and integrated approach from errors made in the past.
As one of the initial steps, we have sought to ensure that strategic planning is fully in place, realistic budgets are matched with realistic solutions, and that political responsibilities for waste management are clear. To this end, a legal framework has been established to define and support the implementation of the current approved Waste Management Plan. Efforts have been made to ensure that the regulations in place are suitable tools and correspond to our local situation. Each partner now also works in a secure situation, which has improved in relation to the criminal gangs operating in the area.
This situation shows to its extreme what a complex issue waste planning and siting of waste treatment plants has become, and the consequences of when the systems fails. Planning and inspection/enforcement authorities have been involved – what went wrong?
Looking back I think the principal error was the assumption and reliance on mechanical-biological treatment (MBT) as the final disposal method of municipal solid waste. We know that MBT has a role as an intermediary phase for preparation of the waste prior to further treatment and/or disposal. However, MBT typically needs to be complemented by a system for final disposal. This fundamental error produced the illusion that landfills and incinerators could be avoided. In addition, the lack of appropriate separate collection worsened the situation. Waste was not separated at source and a combined mixed waste ended up at the MBT plants.
With the local landfills closed, and incineration efforts slowed down, reliance on source-separation was abandoned. This is why the MBT plants could not function according to their design. It was not possible to produce the proper quality RDF (refuse derived fuel) fraction as the plants were working at too high a capacity. The resulting waste fraction/product was not suitable for incineration, even if those facilities had been available. As a result, the ‘ecobales’ were simply stockpiled. The operation of the MBT plants was directly dependent on the delivery of the ecobales to incinerators and the delivery of the stabilized organic fraction to landfills. This system broke down after a few months of inefficient operations.
In summary, we were left with some 6 million tonnes of baled waste, stockpiled and requiring proper management. This large volume reminds us that when there is a lack of waste management services, local problems arise quickly and can rapidly escalate. You have seen the photographs that confirm the extent of the problem.
Public opposition shows that communications and public involvement are crucial. You now have the very difficult task of changing public opinion and ensuring that there is trust and confidence from the public. What are you envisaging?
In times of great social restlessness, the media is quite able to manipulate fears regarding health issues and environmental concerns, particularly related to siting and establishment of waste management facilities. In the Naples situation, political and cultural groups diffused hostile public opinion against engineered landfills and waste-to-energy plants. They created an illusion that waste disposal could be done by other methods without problems. Public participation is important and an acquired right in most western countries. But this right of expression also goes hand-in-hand with duties, such as taking the responsibility for opinion-making and the messages that are communicated. We are today faced with a challenge to regain citizen’s trust in an integrated and environmentally sustainable waste management cycle.
Our communication with the public is based on the values of transparency, openness, and responsibility, especially with regard to the problems (waste management) and the solutions (waste management treatment). We endeavour to facilitate an open and objective debate so as to compare different solutions and find those that are well matched to the management of waste disposal in Naples. Our citizens have had to endure quite a frustrating experience during this time and we aim to turn this around using good practices, coupled with short and long-term solutions.
What can one learn from the Naples crisis?
The principal lesson gained is that waste management planning is key to avoiding serious problems. Such planning includes knowing how much waste will be generated, establishing responsibilities for its management, and making decisions based on sound science and using well-proven technologies. The goal of ‘zero waste’ is not a management option, in my opinion. Rather, it is a claim by some that solid waste can or will disappear somehow. This is not reality.
In all societies there will be residuals that cannot be recycled or re-circulated back into the system. The public understands this and can do its part to minimize waste generation, separate and recycle items where practical, and allow for disposal facilities for residuals. The use of integrated solid waste system requires payments by the users. Search systems are very workable and in many cases, can be aligned for energy recovery purposes along with properly managing the waste anticipated quanties.
