Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Benzo(ghi)perylene is a component of fuel oil but is destroyed during combustion so it not released to the environment in a significant quantity. |
The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.
