This Issue follows on from the review of waste incineration in
Issue 2, providing a thorough and detailed review of other waste
management options. Waste generation affects everyone, and its
treatment and disposal are matters of increasing complexity and
urgency. This book examines the environmental impact of sewage and
industrial effluent treatment on inland and coastal waters, in the
atmosphere and on land. It also looks into current practice in the
design, engineering, operation and control of landfill sites, and
the effect of changes in regulatory policy. A wide range of waste
management practices result in atmospheric discharges and this book
reviews the localized impacts and mitigation of the discharge and
the regulatory framework within which waste management has to
operate. The book also covers the general and technical issues
facing the materials recycling industry; looks into the factors
affecting deep underground storage of radioactive fuel waste
produced by nuclear reactors; and provides data from a number of
case studies in cost-benefit analysis, demonstrating the utility of
a consistent economic theory of waste management.
