Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to review existing data on hazardous waste in Europe and assess their comparability. Drawing on data from 15 EEA countries and two regions, it uses the European Union's Hazardous Waste List as a common classification basis for comparing them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third EEA report in a series of annual reviews of waste prevention programmes in Europe. The review is stipulated in the European Union (EU) Waste Framework Directive (EU, 2008). This year′s review covers 30 out of the 36 national and regional waste prevention programmes that had been adopted by the end of 2015. In comparison with the previous reports, this edition reflects on the progress towards the implementation of prevention of a selected waste type: hazardous waste. Over the last 10 years or so, the better regulation of the identification, handling and management of hazardous waste has been one of the priorities of environmental policies in Europe and worldwide. Hazardous waste is a large, complex area of work, in particular for industrial processes in which economic factors represent an important incentive for both prevention and recycling. Distinguishing between these two areas is not always straightforward. There are two recurrent subjects that might have implications for this analysis: the ongoing changes in the classification of waste, and separate discussions about hazardous (ecotoxic) property. Changes in the classification of hazardous waste are expected to affect waste generation and management statistics. Hence, they have implications for establishing the baseline necessary for the quantitative monitoring and evaluation of prevention measures. For that reason, this analysis focuses mainly on qualitative aspects. Although the report looks at the generation figures at European and country levels, the statistics are used to determine the latest trends, rather than to provide an accurate account of the success of prevention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid trend of industry and high technological progress are the main sources of the accumulation of hazardous wastes. Recently, nuclear applications have been rapidly developed, and several nuclear power plants have been started to work throughout the world. The potential impact of released hazardous contaminants into the environment has received growing attention due to its serious problems to the biological systems. The book Management of Hazardous Wastes contains eight chapters covering two main topics of hazardous waste management and microbial bioremediation. This book will be useful to many scientists, researchers, and students in the scope of development in waste management program including sources of hazardous waste, government policies on waste generation, and treatment with particular emphasis on bioremediation technology.

Book excerpt: The Digital Age was expected to usher in an era of clean production, an alternative to smokestack industries and their pollutants. But as environmental journalist Elizabeth Grossman reveals in this penetrating analysis of high tech manufacture and disposal, digital may be sleek, but it's anything but clean. Deep within every electronic device lie toxic materials that make up the bits and bytes, a complex thicket of lead, mercury, cadmium, plastics, and a host of other often harmful ingredients. High Tech Trash is a wake-up call to the importance of the e-waste issue and the health hazards involved. Americans alone own more than two billion pieces of high tech electronics and discard five to seven million tons each year. As a result, electronic waste already makes up more than two-thirds of the heavy metals and 40 percent of the lead found in our landfills. But the problem goes far beyond American shores, most tragically to the cities in China and India where shiploads of discarded electronics arrive daily. There, they are "recycled"-picked apart by hand, exposing thousands of workers and community residents to toxics. As Grossman notes, "This is a story in which we all play a part, whether we know it or not. If you sit at a desk in an office, talk to friends on your cell phone, watch television, listen to music on headphones, are a child in Guangdong, or a native of the Arctic, you are part of this story." The answers lie in changing how we design, manufacture, and dispose of high tech electronics. Europe has led the way in regulating materials used in electronic devices and in e-waste recycling. But in the United States many have yet to recognize the persistent human health and environmental effects of the toxics in high tech devices. If Silent Spring brought national attention to the dangers of DDT and other pesticides, High Tech Trash could do the same for a new generation of technology's products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the results of a three-year research programme by a joint team of experts from four different EU countries. The main focus of this research was on investigating the possibility of using abandoned underground mines for the disposal of hazardous chemical waste with negligible pollution of the environment. The contributors address many aspects that are common to underground disposal of nuclear waste, such as: the properties and behaviour of waste-isolating clay materials and practical ways of preparing and applying them, development of tools/software to assess the stability, performance, transport of contaminants inside and outside the repository, and risks associated with different repository concepts considering the long-term safety of the biosphere. Information is also included on the selection of site location, design and construction of repositories, predicting degrees of contamination of groundwater in the surroundings, estimation of isolating capacity of reference repositories, cost estimation of this approach in comparison with some other approaches, and many other relevant issues.Invaluable to researchers and engineers working in the field of hazardous (chemical) waste disposal, this title will also significantly aid experts dealing with nuclear waste.
