Hazardous and industrial wastes : proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Mid-Atlantic Industrial and Hazardous Waste Conference, [July 13-16, 1997, Blacksburg, Virginia

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.
