Abstract | There is an acceptable way to dispose of hazardous wastes. In the past, as most people know, disposing of hazardous wastes was usually accomplished by simply dumping them on land, in the ocean or waterways, by burying them in landfills or injecting them into deep wells. According to the U.S. EPA, 'each of these commonly used disposal methods is a potential threat to public health and the environment'. |
