Abstract |
This pamphlet describes hazardous wastes and their management. It also discusses the legal aspects, scientific complexities, and technical controversies surrounding today's hazardous waste management. This publication does not advocate particular solutions. Rather, it seeks to describe, within a chemical context, the nature of the issue, what is known and is not known, the sources of complexities and uncertainties, and some potential solutions that are currently practiced in managing the hazardous wastes that are being generated today. |
