Opis

Although much information and experience in landfill design and operation has been obtained in recent years, only a few meet the current standards for an environmentally acceptable landfill. In view of the increasing public awareness and new scientific understanding of waste disposal problems, the standards for landfilling of waste may improve even further in the years to come.
