Waste disposal

   What are the impacts of this issue

Landfills of municipal and industrial waste in the current technical conditions represent a potential hazard for the pollution of water, soil and air. Old environmental burdens create an intrusive aesthetic effect in the natural environment.

The Municipal Waste Incinerating Plant does not meet the required emission limits for air protection. The produced emissions of greenhouse gases, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals also affect adversely man, forests, and vegetation. Insufficient separation of waste increases requirements for incineration of municipal waste.
