Hazardous Waste & "Treatment" Site listsThe vast majority of hazardous waste around the world is not treated in a manner which is sustainable or ecologically sound. Below is a description of most of these technologies - techniques which almost certainly guarantee that the toxic chemicals or their by-products are either an immediate threat or will pose a threat to future generations, followed by a list of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) sites by country and state. In summary, these toxic technologies are:
The chemical industries worldwide produce over 200 billion pounds (100,000 million kilograms) of synthetic organic chemicals each year. That is a 1000-fold increase since 1935. A significant percentage of that becomes hazardous waste. For some wastes, there are non-polluting technologies for destruction, but they are rarely used because they are expensive. The real answer to the toxic burden that we face today is the development of non-toxic, zero-discharge manufacturing processes, and a dramatic reduction in the manufacture and use of toxic materials. The EPA now has an excellent and easily-accessed database containing all of the known (legally registered) handlers of hazardous waste in the US, available at http://www.epa.gov/oswfiles/rcraweb/web_reporting/tsds.htm |
