Management of Hazardous Waste

Michael J. Suess

WHO Regional Office for Europe, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark

The size and the health significance of the hazardous waste problem are reviewed. Proper engineering and management practice are discussed, including the elimination, if possible, reduction, changing processes and product lines, treatment and reuse, and disposal by landfill and incineration. Exports should be drastically reduced, also using complex administrative measures. International organizations concerned should encourage good national and international management practices. A siting for collection, treatment and disposal, remote from human habitation, and established under an international agreement, would release countries from managing a difficult problem within their own national borders.

Key Words: Key QNiords-Hazardous waste • HW management practice • HW quantities • HW export • HW bureaucratic procedures • HW transfrontier transport • HW international solution • siting issues • central facility
