Abstract Background: One of the major environmental issues facing most societies is the management of waste, industrial, medical and hazardous waste. Locating is an activity that analyzes the capabilities of an area in terms of whether the land is suitable for a particular application. The metrics used in location vary by application type, but they are all aligned to select the right location. Choosing the right burial site for waste is the most important step in waste management. Inappropriate burial selection causes contamination of water, soil and air in the area. The ultimate goal is to find the most suitable location that has the least impact on the environment and natural resources around, and is economically the least costly and engineered. Results: In this study, we chose south of Tehran as a case study to implement the FSWARA-GISMAIRCA Hybrid Algorithm. Selecting inappropriate locations for hospital waste disposal site at the southeast of Tehran province is one of the environmental problems of this region causing damage to the environment and pollution of ground waters. Since waste disposal site is the most economic, accepted, and important method in most areas, the present study aimed to locate the hospital waste disposal site at the southeast of Tehran province. Using fuzzy Delphi method, nine criteria (slope, height, soil type, distance from fault, distance from surface water, depth of ground waters, distance from residential areas, distance from hospitals and distance from road) were finally selected as the final criteria. Then, the desired criteria were weighed using the FSWARA and entered the GIS system as information layers to calculate the final maps for the appropriate zones, which eight locations were selected for waste disposal site. Conclusions: Finally, using the MAIRCA method, the selected locations were ranked and finally among these eight locations, the fourth point was selected as the final location for hospital waste disposal site at the southeast of Tehran. According to the desired criteria with 34 degree slope, 1008 meters high, 3.4841 meters distance from fault, 8.4428 meters distance from surface water, 12 meters depth of ground waters, 457 meters distance from residential areas, 6.4749 meters distance from hospitals, and 1598 meters distance from road.

Various types of medical waste produced from service activities in hospitals can endanger and cause health problems, especially during collection, sorting, shelter, storage, transportation and destruction and final disposal. In terms of disposal of medical waste, most existing hospitals work with other companies in the processing and disposal of their medical waste because there is no official medical waste disposal site available. With the above problems, the researchers are interested in conducting a research process to assist the relevant agencies in finding a solution to determine the location of appropriate disposal of medical waste through the application of information technology. The method used in this study is the TOPSIS (Technique for Others Reference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method, which is one method in the Decision Support System (SPK). Based on the results and previous discussion, it can be concluded that Mandoge is the main choice in choosing the right place as a place for disposal of medical waste because it has the necessary criteria. Therefore the application of the topsis method can help determine good alternatives in a decision-making system for selecting the best Medical Waste disposal sites.

Abstract Surface water and groundwater have been experiencing increasing risks of contamination in recent years because of the poor management of the immense amounts of waste created by different human activities. Inappropriate dump sites have served for many years as marginal disposal sites for a wide range of wastes, including solid waste, fresh sewage and hazardous waste, in developing nations such as Ethiopia. Physical, anthropogenic and organic procedures continuously interact to deteriorate the waste. One of the results of these practices is artificially contaminated leachate, which is potentially hazardous waste from disposal sites. If not managed appropriately, such a dumping site can contaminate groundwater (through leachates) and surface water (through contaminant transport by flooding and groundwater movement). Along these lines, this study focuses on the applications of water quality index in the ground and surface water quality caused by the waste disposal site of Bahir-Dar city within the Chilanchil Abay during the study period. Water testing was performed on 5 samples of surface water and 6 samples of groundwater in each month from 30th March (dry season) to twentieth August (wet season). More than 13 water quality parameters, for example, pH, TDS, Electrical conductivity, Turbidity, Temperature, DO, TH, BOD, COD, TC, NO3−, PO43−, Cr, Mn, and Pb contents, were examined in both ground and surface water. It was discovered that water quality status of the Chilanchil Abay watershed ranges from 15.87 to 36.6 for surface water and 42 to 46.2 for ground water suggesting poor and marginal status for drinking water purpose.
