Abstract
The hazardous waste disposal problem has assumed particularly significant proportions lately because of the progressive implementation of air and water pollution control programs, ocean dumping bans, and cancellation of pesticide registrations. The net result has been an increased tonnage of land-disposed wastes, with adverse impact on public health and the environment. The problem is manifested in groundwater contamination via leachate, surface water contamination via runoff, air pollution via open burning, evaporation, sublimation and wind erosion, poisonings, via direct contact and through the food chain, and fires and explosions at land disposal sites. The subject presentation cites case studies that are associated with these various mechanisms of damage.
