Procedimientos estadísticos para los estudios de caracterización de residuos sólidos
Main Article Content
Abstract
The improvement or design of a solid waste management system in any locality should be based on the knowledge of the solid waste characteristics, such as generation per capita, density and composition; depending on the type of treatment that is going to be projected to those wastes. Therefore, a solid waste characterization study in a selected number of households is required. The selected households should represent the population universe. The statistical methodology applied in the solid waste characterization studies in Latin America and the Caribbean countries was designed by Dr. Kunitoshi Sakurai in 1982. The procedures we present below are intended to reinforce that methodology, incorporating statistical analyses to validate both the number of the samples and the data collected during the households sampling.
