{"product_id":"solid-waste-landfills-in-middle-michael-pugh-9780821344576","title":"Solid Waste Landfills in Middle- and Lower-Income Countries: A Technical Guide to Planning, Design, and Operation","description":"As cities grow and produce more waste, deciding where all the waste will go becomes a public health priority. Although many cities have reserved dumps for waste, the dumps are open. Therefore, converting these dumps to controlled and sanitary landfills is a critical step for protecting public health and the environment. This guide serves as a practical tool for waste managers in middle and lower-income countries to make gradual improvements in the short term by upgrading disposal of wastes at modest cost, while still providing acceptable levels of environmental protection. In the medium to long term, the target should be to achieve full sanitary landfilling along with comprehensive policies and programs to reduce waste generation and increase recycling when it is economically viable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Pugh,Philip Rushbrook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821344579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821344576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.56d","brand":"Michael Pugh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013807321343,"sku":"9780821344576","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48334880-0614-4255-a261-dc29123726ba.jpg?v=1767744896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solid-waste-landfills-in-middle-michael-pugh-9780821344576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
