Screening activities for component Hazardous wastes on the Leningrad and Kaliningrad Region territories have been fulfilled within the BALTHAZAR project. The main goal of the Project BALTHAZAR is assistance in protection of the Baltic Sea from pollution through reducing of loading caused by agricultural entities (AE) and hazardous wastes. The component Hazardous wastes is focused on inventory of large landfills and estimation of current regime in hazardous wastes management. The main task of screening was to study impact of large landfills on environment of the Leningrad Oblast and Kaliningrad Oblast and to reveal the landfills causing the main loading on the Baltic Sea with pollutants.
