Waste Management and the Environment
Description:... "Waste management is becoming one of the key problems of the modern world. With our growing awareness of the detrimental environmental effects of current waste disposal there is a significant need for more research on current methods such as landfill, incineration, chemical and effluent treatment and also on recycling, waste minimization, clean technologies, waste monitoring, public and corporate awareness and general education. The volume and complexity of waste discarded intensifies this problem and creates tremendous pressure on the disposal capacities, forcing the international community to continuously search for optimal and, in accordance with new and more rigorous requirements, acceptable ways of dealing with this problem. The proceedings of the conference address a wide range of the current waste management issues which are conveniently arranged [by topic]."--Page 7 of cover.
