The standard are the EPA SW-846 procedures\n\nhttp://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/test/3_series.htm\n\nThe correct term is digestion for total metals which mean dissolving all of the solid material and/or complex species present into solution as the base metal ions (or the max possible).  There are other procedures that will be called total metals so you have to be sure you are using the correct method for the jurisdiction or governing body you deal with.

DEFINITION\nsupply chain management\n Supply chain management (SCM) is the oversight of materials, information, and finances as they move in a process from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer. Supply chain management involves coordinating and integrating these flows both within and among companies. It is said that the ultimate goal of any effective supply chain management system is to reduce inventory (with the assumption that products are available when needed). As a solution for successful supply chain management, sophisticated software systems with Web interfaces are competing with Web-based application service providers (ASP) who promise to provide part or all of the SCM service for companies who rent their service. \nSupply chain management flows can be divided into three main flows: \n\nThe product flow \nThe information flow \nThe finances flow

It's a huge pit where cities take their garbage.  They line the pit with clay or plastic to stop toxic chemicals from leaking into the soil.  They run the garbage over with bulldozers to compress it as much as possible.  And when it is full (it usually takes years or decades to fill up), they cover it with plastic and then dirt and sometimes vegetation.  A landfill is a way to efficiently bury huge amounts of garbage without impacting the environment.

The need of the hour is to manage waste well because inefficient waste management could cause irreparable damage to the environment. \n\n\n“Those who think that sustainability is only a matter of pollution control\nare missing the bigger picture. \nWe are poised at the threshold of an historic moment \nin which many of the world’s industries may be transformed.” \n\ncheck out this link:\n\nhttp://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/nov82005/snt1732152005117.asp\n\nu can check out some examples of wealth from waste products by clicking on the following link\n\nhttp://www.books-directory-projectreports.com/pdf/wealth-from-waste-products.pdf\n\nSolid waste management poses stupendous problems as well as unlimited opportunities for turning waste into wealth. The environmentalist concern for containing pollution levels and conserving non-renewable natural resources has focussed attention on the three R’s, namely Reduce, Reuse and Recycle waste materials. A careful study of the progress made by Metro Toronto in Solid Waste Management (SWM) reveals eye opening information for those who would like to enter the recycling market for starting potentially lucrative businesses. The SWM division of Metro Toronto manages about 5 million tons of waste per annum of which 3 million tons are disposed at land fills, leaving 2 million tons that was diverted from land fills for recycling. Land fills are not the answer to the problem of SWM due to the growing population and urbanization. The real answer lies in stepping up the rate of diversion from land fills to achieve the three R’s.\n\nMetro Toronto ranks as one of the largest municipalities in N. America and one of the few that have a well chartered plan and programme for stepping up the pace of recycling. This has given rise to a thriving recycling industry comprising more than 1000 small, medium and large businesses such as haulers, brokers, processors, recyclers, suppliers of waste reduction equipments, customised collection system designers, wholesale pick up services, confidential document shredders, waste audit consultants, energy conversion units, drum re-conditioners, converters, compactors, etc. in Ontario province alone. Some of them are manufacturers-cum-recyclers engaged in ‘closed loop’ recycling in manufacturing activities like plastic compounding, paper, insulation tapes, moulded paper, cryogenic recycling of rubber and plastics, wiping cloth, fire logs, culets from glass wastes, composting, scrap metal smelting, solvent recycling etc. Metro Toronto has set a target of 90% diversion by the year 2030 from the present level of 40%. This will open up vast frontiers in recycling business making it highly beneficial to Man and Nature, besides the great potential of generating employment and income.\n\nA glance at the financial picture of Metro Toronto’s SWM will make one appreciate the truism behind the concept of wealth from waste. Metro Toronto’s annual revenue from SWM has matched its expenditure of about $150m in recent years thus giving zero net expenditure. Much of the municipality’s revenue comes from land fill management fees levied by it. With no more land fills available and growing community protests against it, the pace of recycling will be stepped up by persuasive, compulsory and punitive measures to achieve the target of zero land fills. The municipality has taken appropriate measures like increasing the number of waste materials that will be prohibited from land fills such as cardboard, wood, metals, paper, etc. The list will soon become so exhaustive as to cover the entire spectrum of industrial, commercial and institutional wastes and will call for total recycling of all wastes in the years to come. The ratio of virgin to recycled input in industries which is about 8 to 2 at present will get reversed by the ceaseless pursuit of environment protection. The stringent curbs on land fills through steep hikes in SWM fees for disposal at land fills has actu

Managing a department is managing payroll, resources: human capital as well as other resources; seeing that the department achieves it's goals and objectives.. Managing a project could involve allot of similar things, however each project has a time line: start and the end, and goals are much more specific. This can be a 10 page essay, so I'm giving a quick 2-minute overview.

If is landfill u mean hear is this:\nLandfill is a waste disposal site for the deposit of the waste onto or into land (i.e., underground), including: internal waste disposal sites (i.e., landfill where a producer of waste is carrying out its own waste disposal at the place of production), and a permanent site (i.e., more than one year), which is used for temporary storage of waste, but excluding: transfer facilities where waste is unloaded in order to permit its preparation for further transport for recovery, treatment or disposal elsewhere, and storage of waste prior to recovery or treatment for a period less than three years as a general rule or storage of waste prior to disposal for period less than one year. [1]\n\nIn the U.S., landfills are regulated by the state's environmental agency that establishes minimum guidelines; though no guideline may fall below that of the U.S. EPA. Most modern landfills require a minimum of one containment liner, consisting of a compacted clay with a minimum thickness and maximum hydraulic conductivity; compacted to 95% of maximum compaction. Others also require the addition of a layer of high density polyethelene (HDPE), as an impermeable membrane. Various final cover (capping) systems are used, depending on the type of wastes present within the landfill.\n\nIn eras before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main method of waste management. In the late-20th century, alternative methods to waste disposal have been suggested, including recycling, converting to biodegradable products, incineration and cogeneration facilities, all of which assist in reducing the total amount of wastes disposed in to landfills. Some countries, such as Germany, have entirely banned the disposal of untreated waste in landfills in the early 2000's; there, only the ashes from incineration or the educt of mechanical biological threadment plans are still deposited.\n\nA landfill also may refer to low-lying ground that has been filled in so that it can be used for a specific purpose, such as building houses. Soil and rocks are use to fill in the space instead of waste materials. Unless they are stabilized, these areas may experience severe shaking or liquefaction of the ground in a large earthquake.\n\nFor More:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill
