Basic Hazardous Waste Management, Third Edition - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This Second Edition updates and expands the material presented in the bestselling original edition of Basic Hazardous Waste Management. The same practical approach is found in this new edition, making it an ideal textbook for students and an excellent reference source for professionals. Readers are provided with a broad overview of practices and techniques used in modern hazardous waste management, radiological waste management, underground storage tank management, and biomedical/infectious waste management. Fundamental issues are introduced, including hazardous waste site remediation technology and the application of federal statutes, regulations, programs and policies to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites; pathways and fates and the environmental impacts of released hazardous materials; and the roles of science and technology in the standards-setting processes. The book reviews the application of administrative law, civil and criminal sanctions, the roles of the courts, and the impacts of citizen suits in both historical and current regulatory contexts. Health and safety issues affecting hazardous waste workers are highlighted in a completely new chapter. This is an extremely important section, and an invaluable addition to the book.
