Description

The stepwise strengthening of regulations on asbestos and the ban on production and use of asbestos are two important achievements of this century. The importance of appropriate management and treatment of asbestos-containing waste (ACW) generated from the demolition of old buildings has gained full acceptance, along with the need to avoid exposure of workers and environmental release of asbestos. This article presents the history of ACW regulations, outlines the current scenario regarding ACW generation and treatment, and reviews the research and development trends of ACW inertization technologies. Finally, it discusses what the ideal situation for ACW management and treatment should look like.
