Comprehensive evaluation of municipal garbage disposal in Changchun City by the strategic environmental assessment.
The environmental issues caused by the municipal solid waste disposal are becoming a worldwide concern. ⋯ Considering the situation of the economic development of Changchun City, garbage disposal was handled mainly in the major sanitary landfills with appropriate use of incineration technology. This plan is environmentally friendly at a relatively high degree and has met the requirements of minimum investment. It also takes into account the requirements of the development of incineration technology. Regarding environmental pollution in terms of groundwater pollution and atmospheric pollution, this plan is a feasible one by meeting various requirements with low environmental impact among the three plans discussed in this study.
