The countries of Eastern and Central Europe have emerged from a political system which for decades has ignored protection of human health from hazardous wastes. While the economies of the countries in this region are stretched, awareness and concern about hazardous waste issues are a part of the new realities. At a recent conference sponsored in part by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, representatives of seven countries in the region described the status of hazardous waste programs, issues of major concern, and steps being taken to protect human health. This report summarizes the deliberations, outlines some of the problems remaining in dealing with the legacy of the past, addressing the problems of the present, and providing a framework for future research and collaborative efforts.
东欧和中欧国家摆脱了一种数十年来一直忽视保护人类健康免受危险废物影响的政治体制。尽管该地区国家的经济面临压力，但对危险废物问题的认识和关注已成为新现实的一部分。在最近一次由美国国立环境卫生科学研究所部分赞助的会议上，该地区七个国家的代表描述了危险废物项目的现状、主要关切问题以及为保护人类健康正在采取的措施。本报告总结了讨论情况，概述了在处理过去遗留问题、应对当前问题以及为未来研究和合作努力提供框架方面仍存在的一些问题。
