More so, in developing and transitory nations in Asia. This book, written by Asian experts in solid waste management, explores the current situation in Asian countries including Pacific Islands. There are not many technical books of this kind, especially dedicated to this region of the world. The chapters form a comprehensive, coherent investigation in municipal solid waste (MSW) management, including, definitions used, generation, sustainable waste management system, legal framework and impacts on global warming.  Several case studies from Asian nations are included to exemplify the real situation experienced. Discussions on MSW policy in these countries and their impacts on waste management and minimization (if any) are indeed an eye-opener. Undoubtedly, this book would be a pioneer in revealing the latest situation in the Asian region, which includes two of the world?s most dynamic nations in the economic growth. It is greatly envisaged to form an excellent source of reference in MSW management in Asia and Pacific Islands. This book will bridge the wide gap in available information between the developed and transitory/developing nations. 410 0$aEnvironmental Science,$x1431-6250 606 $aWaste management 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aPollution 606 $aWaste Management/Waste Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U31001 606 $aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aPollution, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35000 615 0$aWaste management. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aPollution. 615 14$aWaste Management/Waste Technology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aPollution, general. 676 $a363.6 676 $a363.7285 702 $aPariatamby$b Agamuthu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTanaka$b Masaru$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298390603321 996 $aMunicipal Solid Waste Management in Asia and the Pacific Islands$92507987 997 $aUNINA
