A study on the problems of the usage of incinerators in Malaysia / Muhamad Rosli Sulaiman ... [et al.]

Incineration is one of the options available to dispose municipal solid wastes (MSW) as it is capable of breaking down hazardous non-metallic wastes besides destroying bacteria and viruses. In terms of volume of wastes, incineration can reduce almost instantaneously by 90 %. In 1998, the government...
