dc.description | Hazardous waste storage and disposal pose a significant threat to the small and fragile island environments in the South Pacific region and to human health and safety there, even at the present levels of industrial, commercial, and residential activities in the region. In the independent States, a thorough investigation would likely reveal a number of abandoned or active dump sites presenting significant cleanup problems and major environmental and human health risks. | |
