As a result, the basic objective of protecting the environment is not achieved. b) Attempts made by developed countries to 'export' their wastes - especially the hazardous ones - to the developing world, is another danger - and sometimes reason of failure encountered in the field of Environmental Management. 692 pp. Englisch.…
