You won't find your answer on this side of the Pacific Ocean, Mr. Banerjee! Some years ago there was a lot of interest in cementing hazardous wastes and including them in concrete block manufacture, etc. However, after some fiascos like Times Beach, Missouri, and changing public attitudes towards hazardous waste, the only place any hazardous waste is going here is into a secure landfill.
