Hazardous and Industrial Wastes: Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Mid-Atlantic Industrial and Hazardous Waste Conference

Description

This book is a compilation of the papers presented at the Twenty-Ninth Mid-Atlantic Industrial and Hazardous Waste Conference. It helps people to move a step closer to the acceptable balance of costs, benefits, and risks in their attempts to resolve industrial and hazardous waste problems.
