Admittedly, over the last decade this angle has replaced dramatically. even though we can't but effectively communicate of a brand new technology of peri ontology (the concept of residues), we appear to be headed in the direction of substantiated principles, analyses, disposal protocols, definitions and remedial practices in dealing with the issues of chemical waste. particularly over the past years accomplished treatises of the complete advanced topic in addition to monographs facing diverse features of waste tech­ nology have appeared.
