Hygiene control in standard waste disposal works
1Institute of Hygiene, University of Graz, Austria.
Abstract:
Standard waste disposal works are subject to a continuous hygiene control. As a rule, deposited waste is not inert, i.e. substances can be extracted, which in certain quantities and concentrations must be considered as a source of danger to the water. Inflammable, explosive and health endangering gases are formed. The following must be controlled: groundwater in the area surrounding the disposal site, development of odour from the disposal site, appearance of vermins and noise resulting from the waste disposal works. Waste disposal must clearly be viewed critically from the aspect of waste management control, however, in future it will not be possible to manage without a standard waste disposal system. Hygiene control must represent a fixed component in the waste disposal works.
