Abstract:
Hazardous waste poses major problems on the environment and also public health. In Palestine no considerable efforts were made for quantifying electrical and electronic HW. The study responds to a real need for spatial database, quantities and classification of EEW treated from Idna, Deir Samet and Beit Awa. The objectives of this project is to classify and situation of EEW deal with in Hebron Governorate case study (Idna, Beit Awa and Deir Samet). A scheme for processing geographic spatial data for obtaining the distribution of EEW in Idna, Beit Awa and Deir Samet, using GIS application. The quantity of the waste that deal with EEW were determined, with a view of environmental and health impacts of EEW. The research methodology is based on descriptive approach including preparing a questionnaire, field visits, data collection and analyzing. This study is based on the draft Palestinian HW List and Basel HW List.
The result of this study indicate that the total amount of the waste that deal with EEW from all sectors in Idna, Deir Samet and Beit Awa is 10 950 ton/Year. The main fraction of this EEW is domestic 5077 ton/year at a percent of 47% of 20% from Hebron west Bank. Domestic EEW is mainly from large housewares as code of (07-02-105/106 or 07-03-101/107), contains residue of hazardous substances, its generation rate is 2151 ton/year. Maps of the EEW distribution and land use in Idna, Deir Samet and Beit Awa are presented. EEW quantities and characteristics are tabulated in the form of GIS database, which are essential requirements for planning and implementing future EEW projects in Idna, Deir Samet and Beit Awa.
The study concluded that there is a need to treatment of EEW especially for large housewares to reduce the pollution of environment and risk of human. Also, there is a need for developing policies to manage EEW.
