Environmental risk assessment for the unregulated waste disposal sites of municipal waste in the city area of Bor

Abstract

The problem of unregulated waste disposal sites is present not only in Serbia but in the other parts of the Republic of Serbia. Therefore, it is necessary to locate these waste dumpsites, investigate their negative impact on the environment, make environmental risk assessment and start solving this problem. This presentation shows a methodology of the environmental risk assessment for the unregulated waste disposal sites in the city area of Bor. The idea, presented through this methodology, suggests how to understand the risk, how to make the risk assessment so that the owner is informed about possible consequences. In this way, a possibility can be avoided that in fear of unknown and incapable of understanding, the owner might take the precautionary measures at random. With regulated categorization a remediation of waste disposal sites can be done.
