Seasonal rates of HHW generation are summarized in Fig. 4. On
average, a higher rate of HHW generation of 8.33 g/person/day was
observed in winter, which was most likely caused by the celebration
of China’s Spring Festival (January 23th) in 2013. Most household
follow the custom of cleaning their houses to give a warm
welcome to their family members, relatives and friends before
the Spring Festival (our winter survey was conduct from January
9–15, 2013).
