Summary:
It is generally acknowledged today that the most effective strategy
for toxic and hazardous waste management is: reduction, reuse and
recycle. However, to date most of the activity has been in treatment
technologies. This book focuses on recent technological issues,
commercially available or in various stages of implementation.
Developments in the US and Europe in the area of waste management
policy and regulation are also examined, since management and
remediation has usually been conducted in response to regulatory
requirements. This book serves as a state of the art resource on
technologies and methodologies for the environmental protection
manager involved in decisions concerning the management of toxic and
hazardous waste.
Notes:
"Based on the lectures given during the Eurocourse on 'Technologies
for Environmental Cleanup: Toxic and Hazardous Waste Management,'
held at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy, September 13-17,
