Title

Planning For The Management Of Hazardous Wastes

Abstract

The elements of a hazardous waste management program are outlined and discussed relative to a lightly industrialized region in Florida. Several factors are included such as recognition and quantification of the problem, choosing a management approach, definition of treatment/disposal methods, consideration of environmental impacts, creation of emergency reaction teams, and providing for monitoring and enforcement. Hazardous wastes may result not only from large industries, but also from small businesses from the transportation, health care, research, and consumer sectors of the economy. As a group, these other sources may contribute significantly to a region's overall hazardous waste problem. Any program for managing hazardous wastes must recognize the greatly diverse and complex nature of the problem.
