technology, it should be verified based on monitoring data. Monitoring should cover
the following:

- Technological parameters (temperature, pressure, material fluxes, mass of addi-

tives, produced product quantity and quality, etc.);

- Environmental parameters (emissions into air and water, residues and their

treatment, ecological impact parameters);

- Socio-economic parameters (used energy, cost of additives, price of the product,

number of employees, satisfaction of local population, etc.).

The comparative evaluation of the management options to support the selection of
the best possible technologies can quantitatively show the alternatives' risks and bene-
fits and provide optimum waste management. The subsequent evaluation of the applied
technology verifies the technology and its performance based on monitoring data.
