Re: Is there a database...

["Jerry Cohen" <jjcohen@PRODIGY.NET>]

    This is an interesting question if one thinks about it.

The whole concept and categorization of "hazardous waste"

as a separate entity is a relatively recent invention.

    Before ~1970, there was no formal class of  waste

designated as "hazardous" and all waste materials were pretty

much managed in the same manner, i.e. as garbage placed in

 landfills, ocean disposal, etc. Surely, many tons of stuff

currently considered hazardous were disposed of in this manner

prior to enactment of current laws  regulating hazardous waste.

    Does anyone know of any scientific studies to assess the dire

consequences of these past practices?
