OverviewThe location of hazardous waste facilities can be approached in dramatically different ways. This book describes various possible approaches in terms of the institutions involved and the arguments that are accepted. A study is reported of the approach to siting that is embedded in the law in three countries (the UK, the Netherlands and Canada), and the way this approach works out in practice. This study allows lessons to be drawn on the practice of hazardous waste siting in general. Full Product DetailsAuthor: D.
