        Background and Objective: Waste and municipal waste management is a major concern in any society and in this regard, the role and participation of citizens is very important. The purpose of this study is to design a model for impact of consumer attitude and awareness on the intention to participate in the electronic waste collection system.Material and Methodology: The present study is an applied study in terms of purpose and a case study in terms of method.After extracting the structures from theoretical foundations and articles, to finalize them from 25 people Experts were consulted. Also, to validate the research model, a sample of 384 citizens of Tehran was selected. A standard questionnaire with a reliability of 0/968 was used to collect data. The model validation method is Bayesian structural equations which was implemented in AMOS 26 software.Findings: Findings showed that environmental factors, mental norm, economic stimulus,infrastructure and attitude from Yang Ko et al. (2017) model are effective on citizens' participationintention. Also, the variables of personal education, responsibility and publicity that were identifiedfrom the article of Tavakoli Nia et al. (2017) were approved by experts. Among the identified factors,the highest impact was related to environmental factors with an impact rate of about 85%.Discussion and Conclusion: The results show that environmental factors, mental norms and attitudesaffect the infrastructure and economic stimulus and also through these two variables affect theintention of citizen participation and have an indirect effect. Finally, publicity and accountabilitythrough environmental factors influence the intention of citizen participation. In addition, the resultsshow that the infrastructure facilitates the conversion of subjective norms and attitudes to intentions,which shows that lack of access to electronic waste collection infrastructure, reduces the impact ofsubjective norms and attitudes on intention.

        Nowadays, increasing public concern have challenged the environmental problem associated with wastewater. Indeed, the removal of contaminates from wastewater is still far away from a satisfactory solution. Different processes are used for the treatment of wastewater. However, adsorption on activated carbon can be an environmentally friendly and economically sound process. In this study, olive-waste activated carbon as was employed as a novel adsorbent for efficient removal of lead (heavy metals). In the removal process the variables; pH, concentration of lead, amount of adsorbent and contact time, were studied on their influence on removal of lead, using one at a time approach, in a batch procedure on removal of lead which used 109 mg/g. Following the investigation of concentration effect, fitting the experimental equilibrium data to numerous conventional isotherm models showed that the Langmuir model with high correlation coefficient and low error analysis (R2=0.998) is more usable to explain the experimental data. The kinetic models were studied and parameters of this model was calculated. First order kinetics was predicted for adsorption with 0.99 error tolerance.  Manuscript profile

        Electronic and electrical wastes are special types of wastes, the main components of which include capacitors, transistors, ICs, electronic circuits, cathode and anode components have toxic and pathogenic properties and are stable in the environment and even in body of animal, are corrosive to installations and equipment The purpose of this study is to investigate and identify the effective factors in the liberation of metals, in particular cadmium, in the surrounding environment. Accordingly, the effect of different factors such as temperature, pH, humic acid and time on the release of cadmium from these wastes to aquatic environments has been studied. For this purpose, the selected parts were analyzed and examined. The results indicate that in the aqueous medium, the amount of cadmium penetration in the very acidic and very alkaline pH, the release rate increases. Also, in the aqueous medium, the increase in temperature increases the penetration of cadmium in the environment, and the effect of the contact time parameter is also proportional to the pH variation.
