Title
World Bank - The Safe Disposal of Hazardous Wastes:
The Special Needs and Problems of Developing Countries Volume 1
Abstract
The World Bank, World Health Organization, and United Nations Environment
Programme have cooperated in the preparation and issuance of The Safe Disposal
of Hazardous Wastes. This three-volume manual is intended for administrators
and technical staff, primarily in developing countries, who have
responsibilities for waste management, public health and environmental
protection. Information presented in this publication includes the
classification of hazardous waste, its effects on health and the environment,
the planning and implementation of programs in hazardous waste management,
hazardous waste treatment, and disposal technologies, including economic and
institutional considerations.
The main emphasis of this manual is on the management aspects and on the
technologies that may be appropriate for implementing a region-wide hazardous
waste management program. Case studies from developing countries have been
incorporated into the main text for the purpose of practical illustration.
Sufficient information for at least a pre-feasibility assessment of various
options for a hazardous waste management program is provided.
