Landfilling of Waste (3-Volume Set) (Leachate, Barriers, Biogas)

About this book

Landfilling of waste is an international issue of environmental and political concern and should be viewed as part of an integrated waste management system. Landfilling of waste (3 volume set) provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and identifies new directions in landfill sites and landfill research.
