Abstract

Many hazardous substances of today had been looked at as valuable chemicals some decades ago. At present, management especially in the case of scarce, non-renewable resources is of growing importance. The experiences collected with the management of contaminants might be helpful also for valuable resources. This is demonstrated using two well-documented examples, Cd and PCBs. Pt serves as a counterexample to prove if the DPSIR method can be applied to contaminants and resources without fundamental changes. Some of the countermeasures introduced to control environmental contaminants may also be applied to save non-renewable resources.
