Task-1 Assignment – Technical report writing [50 Marks ] Students of different batches will be given different topics. Topics can be from any of the following areas and will be given by concerned tutor during the semester. Introduction The term solid waste usually relates to all kinds of waste, whether generated during the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials into intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products, or other human activities, including municipal (residential, institutional, commercial), agricultural, and special (health care, household hazardous wastes, sewage sludge).Waste management is intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on health, the environment or aesthetics. The composition of municipal solid waste varies greatly from municipality to municipality (country to country) and changes significantly with time. In municipalities (countries) which have a well-developed waste recycling system, the waste stream consists mainly of intractable wastes such as plastic film, and unrecyclable packaging materials. The collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of solid wastes, particularly wastes generated in medium and large urban centres, have become a relatively difficult problem to solve for those responsible for their management. The face of solid waste generation and management in Muscat has also been changed dramatically over the last several decades. The total MSW amount increased from 0.65 million tons in 2004 to 1.95 million tons in 2014, and the waste generation rate increased from 0.0.7 kg/capita/day to 1.95 kg/capita/day.Before1990, almost all trash was disposed of in landfills and in “municipal waste combustors” (which burn trash and caused air pollution). Most of the landfills were owned and operated by municipalities. None of this quantities of waste generated were being recycled. Therefore, In the Sultanate of Oman, along with urbanization, population growth and industrialization, the quantity of municipal solid waste (MSW) rapidly has been increased. Dramatic increases in energy costs, highly concerns about climate change, renewed interest in more efficient use of waste as second-hand materials, and diminishing public resources are prompting the Sultanate of Oman Environmental Protection section to fundamentally re-examine the issues related to solid waste management. As more resources and land is needed for the ultimate management and disposal of these solid wastes, issues related to management and disposal of MSW have become highly challenging in Sultanate Oman.
