Waste Management Policies and Practices in BRICS Nations
Waste Management Policies and Practices in BRICS Nations explores recent developments in waste management. BRICS nations are the emerging economies of the world. Increasing populations, urbanization, industrialization and uses of chemical fertilizer and pesticide in agriculture for enhanced productivity of food, especially in India and China, to support the large populations harm the natural environment. The rise in the living standards of the human population has increased environmental pollution manifold, resulting in the huge generation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste simultaneously, which has contaminated natural resources such as soil, water and air. It has led to undesirable effects on the environment and human health.
The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including:
Waste management problems with special reference to MSW in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
Solid waste management in BRICS nations
Hazardous waste management in BRICS nations
Policies and laws in BRICS nations
This book contains both policies and methods used for the management of waste in BRICS nations. The chapters incorporate both policies and practical aspects.
