Public works efforts, if properly targeted, could be invaluable in overcoming barriers to the productive reuse of brownfields. A survey conducted by the University of Tennessee's Waste Management Research and Education Institute found that, in Tennessee, brownfield redevelopers are likely to encounter impediments because of the sites' urban character, not simply because of their contamination. This article summarizes the results of that survey.

Most animal feeding operation owners recognize that they need to manage odors from their operations as part of their social relationship with their neighbors and local community. That was not always the case. Odors, whether pleasant or unpleasant, can evoke strong emotions and physiological responses. Odors from animal feeding operations are normally considered unpleasant and offensive if strong smelling and smelled often or for long periods of time. Animal feeding operation owners need to be aware of their odor emissions and the impacts the odors have on their neighbors and community. Good neighbor relations and effective communications can help identify odor problems and communicate what is being done to manage them. Odor management research and education includes odor basics, key processes including generation, emissions and dispersion, impacts, community and neighbor relations, and numerous mitigation practices. Animal feeding operation owners considering practices to reduce odor emissions or their impacts need to weigh the costs, expected effectiveness, and how the practice fits into the overall operation. Policymakers need science-based information to make informed decisions that balance the concerns and needs of neighbors and the community and the businesswomen and men that own and operate the animal feeding operations. This paper provides a broad overview of animal feeding operation odors and odor management.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as características das publicações sobre gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos na base de dados Web of Science (WOS) no período de 2000 a 2012, bem como identificar os hot topics relacionados ao tema. Os principais resultados demonstraram que que produção científica relacionada ao gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos, aumentou gradativamente até o ano de 2009, que representa o ano de maior produção no período analisado. Nos anos de 2010, 2011 e 2012 evidenciou-se um declínio na produção relacionada à temática. As publicações estão relacionadas em sua maioria a duas áreas temáticas: “Ciência Ambiental e Ecologia” e “Engenharia”. Entre os periódicos com maior número de publicações, destacam-se o Waste Management; Waste Management Research; Resources Conservation And Recycling; Journal of Environmental Management; Journal of The Air Waste Management Association. A China lidera o ranking dos países que mais publicam sobre a temática, seguida dos Estados Unidos. Foram classificadas como hot topcis ou tópicos quentes as combinações do tema gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos (solid waste management) com meio ambiente (environment), reciclagem (recycling), tecnologia (technology), planejamento (planning), estratégia (strategy) e política (policy).
