Waste Management is an international journal devoted to the presentation and
discussion of information on the generation, prevention, characterisation,
monitoring, long term behaviour, treatment, handling, reuse and ultimate
residual disposition of hazardous, radioactive, industrial and municipal
solid wastes. Waste Management is designed for scientists, engineers, and
managers, regardless of their discipline, who are involved in scientific,
technical and engineering problems related to policy making and compliance
with legislation. The environmental effects of hazardous, radioactive,
industrial and municipal solid wastes in all their physical states are
addressed. The objective is to examine the management of these wastes in all
forms, thus fostering the opportunity for cross-fertilisation rather than
artificial separation into a series of non-exclusive subsets established by
regulation and/or law: e.g. the air problem, soil contamination, groundwater
impact, mixed waste, superfund wastes, reactor decommissioning wastes.
Emphasis is on integrated technical information. The technical and
regulatory worlds are so tightly entwined today that purely technical
information without knowledge of how legal, social, and regulatory policies
and situations impact its application is of limited management value. To
further support the manager, we will also report on both specialised and
general hardware and software that will assist in the handling of the
pressures of data and information available, including modelling approaches
to assist the decision making process. Consequently, Waste Management will
strive to present a mix of subject matter that will best serve to help the
reader understand the entire problem. The aim is for Waste Management to be
the forum for managers, charged with finding solutions to hazardous,
radioactive, industrial and municipal solid waste problems, to look for
information.
