Sinossi

Scientists examine a number of issues in estimating the health effects of burning solid waste, increasingly being considered by American cities as their landfills get full. Designed to be useful to scientists, laypeople, regulators, and regulatees. Among the topics are models of the atmospheric distribution of pollutants in flat and complex terrains, the transfer of chemicals from air to ground to plants to people, and the uncertainties inherent in any projection of risk.
