Accelerated illegal dumping of industrial waste 1999.12.15

According to a summary of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the number of illegal dumping of industrial waste in 1998 was 1273, and it was found that the survey was about five times higher than in the 93 fiscal year. The waste Disposal Law revision in 1997 has seen that the landfill shortage has accelerated due to the stricter approval requirements of the final disposal site. In fact, the number of new improvements in the disposal site has plummeted sharply, and the number of permits that have been around 130 per year has stopped only nine from April 1999 to September 1999.
