Kenya: How Toxic and Infectious Medical Waste Can Be Harming Citizens
A visit to the hospital does not usually show what happens in the trunk. It is here where lost blood and body tissues and parts from surgeries, pharmaceuticals, medicine bottles — tonnes of hospital waste — go through. In the instance of the Kenyatta National Hospital, this might be as much as one tonne a day estimated to be half the medical waste generated from town. Quite understandably, it is not usually open to the general public. Most of these normally wind up in incinerators — the most economical medical waste disposal system for the majority of hospitals. But a good deal of it slips through the system to get us stressed. Best practice dictates that such ash be buried. However, as this author found out, this is much better said than done. Lack of adequate equipment to safely dispose of waste and failure to see best practices was a…
The other day at the waste incineration plant
From waste is made electricity for 250,000 individuals And this is the highlight. The heat produced during combustion is used. On the one hand, to heat the nearby Ford plant. But this is just a nice side effect. The majority of the heat is converted into electricity by generators. And even that the power consumption of 250,000 individuals can be fulfilled. The waste incineration plant Cologne is hence essentially a power plant also provides a quarter of the town of Cologne with electricity. That sounds amazing. And as you might find the notion it is not too bad when a lot of garbage is produced — as it is used so nicely… After combustion bottom ash, hot exhaust gas and residue remain. These chemicals are largely used again useful: The ash is chilled with water and stored in an ash bunker before it is processed at a bottom ash treatment…

Burnaby garbage incinerator operator sued over pollution concerns
The Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District is suing Maxxam Analytics International Corp. and Covanta Burnaby Renewable Energy ULC for Supposedly failing to properly Examine fly ash samples in the district’s waste-to-energy facility in Burnaby. Non-hazardous fly ash is accepted and disposed of in the Cache Creek landfill, the claim states. Samples analyzed by Maxxam in the summer and autumn in 2012, however, came back indicating high levels of cadmium that exceeded acceptable levels permitted for disposal in the landfill. The results, the district claims,”called into question the power of the treatment of fly ash” at the center, forcing the plaintiff to incur charges by requiring greater sampling and testing, investigating the origin of the high cadmium levels and locating another disposal site for fly ash in Alberta. After the Ministry of Environment hit on the district using an advisory letter of non-compliance, the plaintiff hired”consultants, experts and legal counsel”…

Texas Ebola waste Won’t Be disposed in Louisiana
On Friday Attorney General Buddy Caldwell declared the State of Louisiana reached an arrangement with Texas incinerator Veolia Environmental Services and Louisiana toxic waste landfill Chemical Waste Management to ensure that incinerator ash associated with the recent Dallas Ebola virus occurrence won’t be transported or disposed of in Louisiana,. On Oct. 13 the Louisiana Attorney General’s office got a restraining order in the 19th Judicial District Court to temporarily stop the transfer of incinerated Ebola ash into Louisiana. The temporary retraining order was extended on Oct. 21 at the request of all parties, until finally arriving at today’s arrangement. Attorney General Caldwell stated,”I’m pleased today’s arrangement ends this chapter in the controversy of the transportation and disposal of Ebola waste”
