Special waste

Article Abstract:

The environment agency (EA) is very much concerned about the difficulties faced by the producers in the treatment of and disposing off the wastes as this process costs a lot, also to transport the waste to long distances to be dumped at the landfills is risky as some incidents may occur on the way. The possibilities to minimize the hazardous wastes depend on various factors such as the legislation and specific regulatory requirements, technical and economic considerations, etc.
