waste management

Since the end of the twentieth century, it has become clear that the quantity of waste generated by the human population, about 10 kg/week per household, requires careful management. environmental disasters related to the disposal of waste, such as contaminated land, groundwater pollution, nuclear accidents, and transport of hazardous waste through areas of dense population, have drawn attention to the necessity for clear policy guidelines.
