From the publication:
Wastes in the 20th Century Modern society creates waste materials which have to be disposed of in nature without disturbing the ecological equilibrium. For some of them, effective disposal techniques have not been found as yet: most plastic products do not degrade, poisonous mercury does not decay, piles of scrap cars, airplanes and metal containers rust away in junk-yards. We live and breathe amidst discharges of noxious gases, aerosols and the exhaust emissions of motor vehicles. The nine countries of the European Community are producing nearly 1 800 000 000 tonnes of waste per year.
