Abstract
Controversies about the siting of facilities for the disposal and treatment of both hazardous and domestic waste are widespread in all industrialised countries. Proponents (both public and private) of these facilities point to the need for them and to their technical suitability, while opponents (local communities and environmental groups) emphasise the risks for health and environment associated with the substances to be disposed of or treated by the process.
