Ocean incineration of hazardous waste. E. Ninaber. North Sea Monitor, December 1994, 12(4), 16--18.
The oil crisis of the 1970s together with increasing environmental regulation on land has resulted in hazardous waste streams ending up in ships' bunker fuels, with both tragic consequences for both the environment and the safety of ships' crews. Consideration is given to the nature of the problem together with how it has occurred. Recommendations are made for how governments should proceed to deal with this problem. Reports from the Dutch Environment Ministry reveal some 40% of waste oil, and only waste contaminated with chemical waste, collected in the Netherlands each year re-enters the market as bunker fuel. 11 refs.
