| Resumen |
Introductory general analysis: 70% of toxic waste is disposed of on sites operated by the waste producer, 5% is dealt with by local authorities, and 25% by contractors; the extent of the hazards involved in the United Kingdom is estimated; list of materials for which notification was made; facilities at typical sites; review of potential operator hazards (chemical, physical, mechanical, infective). The report itself deals with site conditions (measurement of noise, gases and vapours, and general atmosphere); results of sampling of materials; summary of interviews with 25 workers (protection provided; accounts of incidents involving hazadous situations or irresponsible conduct). Preliminary conclusions are drawn, and recommendations for measures at official and operation levels made. |
