Preface
The quantum of wastes generated in urban centres has become one of the difficult
tasks for those responsible for their management. The problem is becoming acute
specially in economically developing countries, where there is a financial crunch, and
other resources are scarce.
Although, there are varieties of publications dealing with various topics of solid waste
management, most of these documents have been published addressing the needs of
developed nations. Only a few documents have been specifically written to provide
the type of information that is required by those in developing countries. Also, most of
the documents are not accessible to all the readers, and there as well a strong need to
update the published documents once again in view of globalization. To maximize the
use of limited available resources, it was decided to combine information gathered
from both developed and developing countries on all the elements of solid waste
management under the title “Integrated Waste Management”. Due to overwhelming
response from authors all around the world, the book has been divided into two parts,
i.e. Volume I and II, and the papers have been grouped under different sub-headings.
This publication has been prepared primarily for researchers, engineers, scientists,
decision-makers and policy makers involved in the management of solid wastes. The
information provided in both the volumes would also be useful to students studying
environmental science and engineering.
