Waste Management is designed for scientists, engineers, and managers, regardless of their discipline, who are involved in scientific, technical and engineering problems related to policy making and compliance with legislation. The environmental effects of hazardous, radioactive, industrial and municipal solid wastes in all their physical states are addressed.
Emphasis is on integrated technical information.
The technical and regulatory worlds are so tightly entwined today that purely technical information without knowledge of how legal, social, and regulatory policies and situations impact its application is of limited management value. To further support the manager, we will also report on both specialised and general hardware and software that will assist in the handling of the pressures of data and information available, including modelling approaches to assist the decision making process. Consequently, Waste Management will strive to present a mix of subject matter that will best serve to help the reader understand the entire problem. The aim is for Waste Management to be the forum for managers, charged with finding solutions to hazardous, radioactive, industrial and municipal solid waste problems, to look for information.
