Waste Management and the Environment VI (Wit Transactions on Ecology and the Environment)

Waste management can be problematic. With the emphasis in many
countries now being on sustainability, there is a great need for more
research on disposal methods. While we have found ways to reduce
the volume of waste that needs to be disposed, questions remain about
the environmental and safety aspects of certain recycled materials and
the by-products of waste management activities, current technology
improvements, and regulatory and monitoring problems.

Featuring papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Waste Management and the Environment, this book contains contributions on topics such as: Advanced Waste Treatment Technology, Wastewater Treatment; Resources Recovery; Waste Incineration and Gasification; Waste Pre-Treatment; Separation and Transformation; Landfills; Soil and Groundwater Clean-up; Public Awareness; Air Pollution Control; Hazardous
