Handbook of solid waste management second edition
In the 12 years that have intervened between the time the first edition was written and the preparation of the second edition, solid waste management has achieved a maturity that has removed virtually all fear of it being a crisis. Although the number of landfills is diminishing, larger ones are being built with increased safeguards that prevent leaching or the emission of gases. Improved management of hazardous waste and the emergence of cost-effective integrated waste management systems, with greater emphasis on waste reduction and recycling, have reduced or eliminated most of the previous concerns and problems associated with solid waste management. Improved air pollution control devices on incinerators have proven to be effective, and a better understanding of hazardous materials found in solid waste has led to management options that are considered environmentally acceptable.
