Important: Call For Papers in Special Issue of ASCE's Journal of Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste

[Ron Krate]

Hi Heeb and Bhola,

Can you post this news item?

Bhola, an IPP News Item and Top Headline for this issue  will become more obviously relevant to IPP if mention is made in a sentence or two of this issue's ( where you are the guest editor ) import to poor and developing countries....

Therefore, do you suppose a YouTube summary presentation of the issue of ASCE, or one highly relevant paper in this issue, to poor and developing countries? IPP will feature it on its website, in September, if it can be done.

Kind regards,
