World of waste
dilemmas of industrial development
by K. A. Gourlay
This book explores the sources of waste: domestic/municipal, industrial, agricultural (fish farming), and nuclear. It describes what happens to waste once it is created. The book describes how waste is introduced into the soil via landfills and other forms of burial. It describes how waste is introduced to water systems through coastal and open ocean dumping. The book describes waste incineration methods in the United States and in the United Kingdom. It examines the effects of wastes on the air in the form of acid rain, smog, climatic change, and holes in the earth's ozone layer. The book presents political, social, and economic dilemmas that hinder waste reduction.
