Data on special and hazardous waste movements originally collected by the Greater London Council during the 1980s give detailed information about waste consignments from cradle to grave, including UK grid references for waste producer and disposal sites, total tonnage and hazard category. Aqueous special wastes were chosen as a case study in wich a geographic information system was used to model the routing of waste consignments. Deficiencies in the consignment records required several assumptions to be made and various scenarios explored. Roads identified as likely to see passage of these waste materials, together with the estimated levels of tanker traffic, were then integrated with information on accident probabilities, groundwater vulnerability and the distribution of population to evaluate the risks the waste movements posed to different localities. Comparisons between specific disposal sites were undertaken and these assessments were also expanded to encompass the wider region.
