Evolution of Hazardous Waste Programs Lessons from 8 Countries

During the past decade, some developing countries -- particularly those that have experienced rapid economic growth & industrialization -- have begun to consider ways of developing & implementing programs to assure the proper disposal of hazardous waste. No two countries share identical circumstances in terms of political regime, industrial policy, major industries, geography, & the nature of their hazardous waste problem. An examination of the experiences of both developed & developing countries offers useful insights about the evolution of hazardous waste management programs to other countries embarking on a similar path.Probst, Katherine N. is the author of 'Evolution of Hazardous Waste Programs Lessons from 8 Countries' with ISBN 9780788184055 and ISBN 0788184059.
