Toxic contamination

   What are the impacts of this issue

Special concern is caused by the absence of grounds for the burial of toxic industrial waste products. In spite of the reduction of the volume, there are some cases of toxic wastes removal to the places which are not designed for their storage. The chemical composition of wastes has not been determined in full because there is no precise reporting form and enterprises do not submit data on the waste nature. Practically, low-waste and non-waste technologies of the utilization and reuse of wastes are not introduced.
