Riassunto:

Hazardous Waste Management: An Overview of Advanced and Cost-Effective Solutions includes the latest practical knowledge and theoretical concepts for the treatment of hazardous wastes. The book covers five major themes, namely, ecological impact, waste management hierarchy, hazardous waste characteristics and regulations, hazardous wastes management, and future scope of hazardous waste management. It serves as a comprehensive and advanced reference for undergraduate students, researchers and practitioners in the field of hazardous wastes and focuses on the latest emerging research in the management of hazardous waste, the direction in which this branch is developing as well as future prospects.

The book deals with all these components in-depth, however, particular attention is given to management techniques and cost-effective, economically feasible solutions for hazardous wastes released from various sources.

• Comprehensively explores the impact of hazardous wastes on human health and ecosystems
• Discusses toxicity across solid waste, aquatic food chain and airborne diseases
• Categorically elaborates waste treatment and management procedures with current challenges
• Discusses future challenges and the importance of renewing technologies
