An Evaluation and a Call for Action
by Committee on Institutional Considerations in Reducing the Generation of Hazardous Industrial Wastes, Environmental Studies Board, National Research Council

This is the first thorough exploration of how industry, government, and the public can use available nontechnical means to reduce significantly the amount of hazardous waste entering the environment. Among the approaches considered are modifications to avoid contaminating normal wastewater with hazardous by-products, education of management and engineering personnel about reuse and recycling, reform of regulations and enforcement procedures, and incentives for improvement in waste practices.
