"Waste Management- History of waste management"
March 6 2009

Summary: This article provides information on waste management and why it is now so complex in this day in age.

This article topic is important to me because as one who produces waste it is important that I know what to do with it for it to remain safe. "Some waste materials are normally safe, but can become hazardous if not managed properly. For example, 1 gal (3.75 l) of used motor oil can potentially contaminate one million gallons (3,790,000 l) of drinking" Just a small spill or accident (putting something in the wrong place like down a sink) can have a major effect."On a larger scale, government agencies at the local, state, and federal levels enact and enforce regulations governing waste management." I feel this article is reliable because it has been copy writen by professional industries.
