Review: This volume covers the practices and technologies that are currently, and can be, applied to the management of municipal and industrial solid waste, providing a survey of the methods for reducing solid waste generation, the application of resource recovery, and waste-to-energy techniques. The eight chapters cover: the principles behind source reduction and waste minimization; US environmental statutes and liabilities that are associated with environmental management; problems of municipal solid waste; landfill operations and gas energy recovery; solid waste volume reduction technology; biosolids applications for converting municipal sludges into soil conditioners and fertilizers; industrial sources of waste pollution; and pollution prevention and waste minimization programmes.
