Editor’s Note

All manuscripts submitted to the Practice Periodical of Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste Management should be accompanied by a list of four potential reviewers that the authors suggest. This list should include the potential reviewers’ complete names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses, and a list of at least five key words that identify the expertise of each reviewer. The periodical is not obligated to use all or any of the recommended reviewers; however, we believe that this policy will lead to an improved review process. The new manuscripts should be submitted to
