With land space running out and increasingly stringent
environmental legislation being passed, affluent nations have
turned to poorer countries to handle some of their hazardous waste.
Some developing countries have continued to accept waste shipments,
while others have imposed bans but cannot enforce them effectively.
This lack of regulation has led to a political backlash against
international trade in wastes, culminating in a call by the United
Nations for a global ban. This book discusses the need for a
regulated and informed forum for international trade in hazardous
waste. The authors argue that with careful planning, health and
ecological risks can be minimized and net economic benefits
realized fairly. The book examines the key parameters that should
be considered by potential trading nations to ensure an optimally
safe and mutually beneficial partnership. The authors provide
comprehensive coverage of the political, environmental, industrial
and economic issues involved in this complex and increasingly
controversial practice. The book should be of interest to those
working in industries involved in transporting waste and policy
makers and agencies at both local and national
