Prevention of undesirable situations in connection with illegal handling of hazardous waste

Abstract

Waste management is a rapidly developing area of the national economy. Developed countries have begun to address waste management intensively only in recent years. In the Czech Republic the first law on waste was made until 1991. Hazardous waste can harm human health or the environment, and therefore is needed to pay attention to it. The negative effects of hazardous waste can occur in the place of its origin, when transporting it or close to the place of the removal.
