This book focuses on the prospects of fresh market waste management
in developing countries. It characterizes fresh market wastewater
and solid wastes, and highlights the human health impact of
corresponding waste management practices. With regard to treatment
technologies, the book discusses the anaerobic digestion of fresh
solid wastes; the application of natural coagulants for wastewater
treatment; the remediation of xenobiotics in wastewater using
nanotechnology; and biofilter aquaponic systems for nutrient
removal. All of these technologies are recent innovations, offer
several concrete advantages, and can be applied in developing
countries as non-central treatment systems. In addition, the book
covers electricity production from fresh solid wastes using
microbial fuel cells, demonstrating the potential held by recycling
fresh market wastewater and solid wastes.

This book reviews the consequences of improper disposal of
greywater into the environment and the most appropriate treatment
technologies for developing countries, focusing on the potential to
reuse greywater as a production medium for biomass and
bio-products. It also describes the quantities and qualitative
characteristics, as well as the common practice of discharging
greywater in developing countries, and highlights the associated
health risks. Further, it compares the management of greywater in
developed and developing countries and explores the advantages and
disadvantages of various treatment technologies, discussing the
reuse of greywater for irrigation purposes in arid and sub-arid
countries, especially in the Middle East. The book shows the
benefits of greywater and introduces low-cost technologies based on
the available local facilities can be used to discharge, reuse, and
recycle it.
