Annotated Bibliography: Waste Disposal and Treatment
Hamer, Geoffrey. "Solid waste treatment and disposal: effects on public health and environmental safety." Biotechnology Advances 22.1 (2003): 71-79.
In his article, Hamer outlines the different approaches used in waste treatment and disposal. One of the methods is open burning, which entails using fire to burn waste materials that result from human activity. It is important to mention that open burning is disadvantageous in that it leads to air pollution (74). Hamer states that gasification is also employed in waste disposal; the process entails converting fossil or organic fuel into carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide.
Williams, Paul T. Waste treatment and disposal. John Wiley & Sons, 2005.
In this text, Williams argues that the choice for waste treatment and disposal approach should be influenced by the desired outcomes as well as its safety. He acknowledges that most of the waste people find it hard to live with comes from human consumption and activities (22). Regardless of the efforts employed in waste disposal and treatment, the public should find it easy to engage with relevant stakeholders in efforts to facilitate an environment free from waste materials.
Leopold, Aldo. “Thinking like a Mountain.” Sustainability: A Bedford Spotlight Reader. Bedford/St. Martin's, 2015.
In his text “Thinking like a Mountain,” Aldo provides an overview of the various approaches that people can employ in efforts to impact the world and promote human coexistence with nature. Disrupting natural habitation for animals and plants is harmful to the globe (59); therefore, people should engage in waste management and regulation efforts to impact the environment. The society can benefit from waste disposal and treatment through the creation of job opportunities, which helps in improving the people's living standards. Another benefit of waste treatment and disposal is that it contributes to the generation of energy as a byproduct.
Thoreau, Henry David. "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For." Sustainability: A Bedford Spotlight Reader. Bedford/St. Martin's, 2015.
In the text, “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For,” Thoreau encourages people to take pleasure in interacting with the environment without changing its features (29). He seeks to champion for people coexistence with nature because that boosts the experience of life. The economic and natural benefits of managing waste cannot be ignored and thus, the society should focus on promoting natural coexistence with the environment. In this regard, Thoreau urges people to support nature and interact freely because in so doing, human existence will be supported.

The website identifies waste disposal and treatment as essential in regulating air, water, and soil pollution. The process entails collecting, transporting, processing, and monitoring waste to minimize the risks that waste materials pose to human and plant life. The environment is safer and natural in areas that promote waste regulation through recycling. One of the commonly used approaches in waste treatment and disposal is open burning. The process entails using fire to burn waste materials that result from human activity. However, open burning is disadvantageous in that it leads to air pollution.

According to the website, growth in population leads to increase in waste, which calls for different approaches used in treatment and disposal. Gasification is also employed in waste disposal; the process entails converting fossil or organic fuel into carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. On this subject, it is important to mention that the choice for waste treatment and disposal approach should be influenced by the desired outcomes as well as its safety. Based on the website, open burning, incineration, recycling, and gasification vary concerning their applicability and threat to the environment.

In the article, “Environmental Audits of Hazardous Waste Disposal and Treatment Facilities,” Wongjr et al., conclude that facilities used in waste management pose a threat to the environment. As a result, waste management approaches should center on safe ways that conserve the environment while reducing the effect such waste would have on plant and human life. The article focuses on the measures that should be ensured to facilitate good waste management and boost communication between parties involved in waste disposal.

Waste treatment and disposal is a continuous process that requires input by various parties in efforts to realize the desired outcomes. In their article, Guerrero, Ger, and William state that the process of waste management is hindered by various factors (221). In this regard, the authors propose that stakeholders in waste management should rely on cooperation and collective decision-making in efforts to evade the risks posed by unsuccessful waste disposal and treatment. Planning for waste management should rely on relevant data in efforts to ensure efficiency in waste management.
