  • Gestion des déchets
OBS

Dans la source RESIL (revue «Resilog»), l'expression «hazard assessment» a été rendue par «caractérisation des déchets». Ce n'est pas l'équivalent du terme anglais mais cela constitue une solution de traduction acceptable, puisque c'est ainsi que s'effectue l'évaluation des risques dans ce cas précis.

OBS

[...] le Ministère incite les propriétaires à procéder à la caractérisation des déchets et à la restauration des décharges pour réduire ou éliminer leur impact sur la santé et l'environnement.
