During the past few years the worlds has reverberated of names like
Seveso, Love Canal, Lekkerkerk, Times Beach, just to name the most
publicized ones. All these names are connected with hazardous or
toxic waste, waste from business and industry, especially the
chemical industry. The list is endless because there are, all over
the world, many thousands of "points noirs" not yet discovered or
identified old lagoons and landfills, polluted rivers, estuaries,
and harbors needing remedial action, which undoubtedly will reveal
more unpleasant secrets of the chemical industry's past. It is not
an exaggerated statement that chemists of the past have paid too
much attention to the composition of new products while neglecting
the disposition of byproducts, i.e., chemical waste. Admittedly,
during the last decade this attitude has changed dramatically.
Although we cannot yet properly speak of a new science of peri
ontology (the theory of residues), we seem to be headed towards
substantiated rules, analyses, disposal protocols, definitions and
remedial practices in handling the problems of chemical waste.
Especially during the last two years comprehensive treatises of the
whole complex subject as well as monographs dealing with assorted
aspects of waste tech nology have appeared."
