THE STUDY OF WASTE GENERATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE BIRSK BRANCH OF THE BASHKIR STATE UNIVERSITY
In the course of the activities of organizations, waste is generated, accounting for which is a primary task to ensure the safety of people and their environment. The research took place on the territory of the Birsk branch of Bashkir State University, located in the city of Birsk, Republic of Bashkortostan. The climatic feature of the region is the abundance of strong south and south-westerly winds, which cause droughts. Low precipitation contributes to the accumulation of volatile pollutants. This article examines the qualitative and quantitative analysis of waste generation from a higher educational institution in a small city in order to obtain data on the category of danger of the institution and the harm it causes to the environment. An inventory of pollution sources was carried out, during the study of the sites it was found that site No. 1 “administrative building” forms pollutants of class II (highly hazardous waste) and III (moderately hazardous waste), which is not typical for other sites. During the work, the composition was established and the hazard class of waste was issued. As a result of the inventory of the organization, the IV hazard category was issued, that is, objects that have a minimal negative impact on the environment.
