Title A name given to the resource Developing Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan - Training Manual Vol. 1: Waste Characterization and Quantification with Projections for Future Subject The topic of the resource This book is the first volume in the series of training manuals on developing Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) plan. This manual aims to build the capacity of practitioners and policy makers in waste characterization and quantification with projections for future for all the waste generating sectors viz.: residential, commercial, construction and demolition, healthcare and industrial sectors. The objective of the manual is to facilitate characterization of different types of wastes from each sector and quantification of the level of waste generation. The manual provides a methodology to conduct studies leading to collection and analysis of the data from different sectors. An example has been worked out to make this manual user friendly.

Title A name given to the resource Hazardous Waste Management in Tsunami-Affected Areas / Emergency Phase Subject The topic of the resource This 3-page document, available in English, provides guidance on short- and medium-term measures to mitigate both risks to health and long-term environmental damage. These guidelines are intended for intermediate level environmental health specialists and public health professionals. This guidance supplements and does not replace longstanding recommendations for hazardous waste management. That said, to the extent that waste management was inadequate before the tsunami, these recommendations may suggest procedures that improve long-term strategies. Topics covered include the following: immediate institutional arrangements, systematic surveys in affected areas, information/awareness/training, management of waste and hazardous wastes arising from aid and temporary settlements areas procurement/contractors, and risk assessment analysis.
