| Abstract | European countries, including Germany and The Netherlands, have since the 1980s taken positive measures for the reduction of poly chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and poly chlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/DFs). Around 1995 they succeeded in reducing their emission by 99% compared to the level in the 1980s, In contrast, in the United States the PCDDs/DFs emission of medical waste incineration is high, as is the emission of municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration in Japan. The new guideline of 1997 in Japan is characterized by the following: (1) High technologies should be applied to control the emission of PCDDs/DFs (0.1ng-TEQ/m3 in emission gas). (“TEQ is an abbreviation of toxicity equivalents and indicates the sum of the toxic values after converting the toxicity of each dioxin congener to 2,3,7,8,-TCDD.) (2) The importance of systematic measures, shifting to full-continuous feeding incinerators or to the refuse-derived fuel (RDF) system, is mentioned. (3) The high technological measures for residue are specified. This new guideline is expected to work as a social control unit to avoid environmental accumulation of PCDDs/DFs. It also sets a target level of below 5 μg-TEQ/ton of waste for the total release of PCDDs/DFs, including not only PCDDs/DFs in exhaust gases but also those in treated residues. In the future, in addition to controlling the source, we should consider integrated control in harmony with recycling and environmental cycle control. The past measures for PCDDs/DFs were significant because they showed the technological standard based on the “precautionary principle,” that is, controlling PCDDs/DFs with the best available technologies. We should make use of the results of past challenges with PCDDs/DFs for measures to control persistent organic pollutants, which are becoming a worldwide problem from the local level. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
