Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has assumed alarming proportions. Public agencies are not dealing effectively with its growing magnitude. These cannot be exclusively held responsible for this. With increased economic growth the problems associated with SWM are bound to become more complex. We have to generate reliable information and awareness about negative effects of solid waste on health and environment. Debates on economy environment linkages have sidetracked these aspects. There is thus need for an informed understanding of the underlying issues. Against this backdrop the present book attempts to weave together central issues in their proper perspective. (jacket).
