地震最重要的影响之一是产生大量的废物。不正确的啃食管理会造成相关的环境破坏、经济损失和对人口的心理影响。在此背景下，本文评估了不同的废物管理战略，估算了碳足迹和经济影响，以确定最佳选择。总的来说，可以采用不同的管理方案，这些方案对环境有不同的成本和影响：可以使用临时储存场地，可以通过不同的技术（简单的破碎或先进的精炼）处理蚕食物，并且可以在距离事件现场不同的距离进行处理。环境影响评估证明了现场预处理和强化精炼的重要性，以实现高质量的惰性气体。另一方面，经济分析表明，最好的选择是将所有东西运到处理地点，并对碎石进行简单处理。因此，我们的评估得出了相互矛盾的结论，从环境的角度来看，加强对蚕食物的处理是积极的，但对管理成本的增加是消极的。经济标准目前正在推动应急管理人员做出任何决定;然而，环境负荷可能会产生长期影响，带来更重大的经济后果，不容忽视。
One of the most significant effects of an earthquake is the production of a huge amount of waste. An incorrect management of the nibbles causes relevant environmental damages, economic losses and a psychological impact for the population. In this context, the present manuscript assesses different strategies of waste management, estimating the carbon footprint and the economic impact, in order to define the best choices. Overall, different management options can be applied, that have different costs and impacts on the environment: a temporary storage site could be used, nibbles can be treated through different technologies (either simple crushing or advanced refining), and the treatment can be carried out at different distances from the site of the event. The environmental impact assessment evidenced the importance of an in-situ pre-treatment of the nibbles and of an enhanced refining, addressed at the achievement of high quality inert. On the other hand, the economic analysis suggests that the best option is to transport everything to the treatment site, and to carry out a simple treatment of the rubbles. Consequently, our assessment resulted in conflicting conclusions, where an enhanced treatment of the nibbles is positive, from an environmental point of view, but negative, for the increase in the management costs. The economic criteria are currently pushing any decision taken by the emergency managers; however, the environmental load may have a long-term effect with even more significant economic consequences, and it cannot be neglected.
