Opis

The treatment and Handling of Wastes provides an account of the environmental problems posed by the different types of waste material, the current state of technology for dealing with them, and what science and technology promises for the future. The book opens by providing a background to the general ecological, economic and legislative principles that apply to waste management and disposal. The second part of the book takes a view of what may be possible in future waste disposal programmes. The contributors are all leading scientists or industrialists who have to achieve safe economic and practical ways of handling the wastes produced by human activity. The book should provide valuable reading for all scientists, managers and environmentalists concered with finding practical ways forward in waste management.
