Program Description:
Solid waste management is a branch of environmental health engineering which graduates will be able to identify and manage general and hazardous wastes from urban and rural, industrial, agricultural and healthcare, to maintain and promotion of human and environmental health. On the one hand, increasing the production of waste and on the other hand, the massive change and diversity in its quality are issues that in many societies, human health and the environment have faced crucial challenges. Along with completing the capacity of landfills, the production of unpleasant odors, and the leakage of leachate into water resources of large cities, including Tehran and many northern cities, face a crisis of urban and rural, industrial, and medical waste. Currently, in many European countries and the United States, students are accepted at the discontinuous masters and doctoral levels in this field. In our country, there is no history of activities in this field at any time.
