ABSTRACT
Environmental pollution is one of the major
concerns in the recent world. Hazardous waste is the major factors causing
pollution and degradation of environment. It is such waste with a chemical
composition or other properties that make it capable of causing harm to humans
and other life forms when mishandled or released into the environment. USA
(United State of America)is developed country but facing tough time to secure
the life from hazardous waste. Dealing with such problem is not easy task for
the hazardous waste management officers because all parties have their own
opinion and views which is difficult to put all together at once. Even it is
tough task to gratify all concern parties but researcher always try to come up
with new proposal so that can be beneficial for the present improvement and
future decision making. This paper adopts MCDA (multiple criteria decision
analysis) for analysis of hazardous waste in the USA. MCDA proposed DEA-TOPSIS
(data envelopment analysis – technique for order performance by similarity to
ideal solution) hybrid approach for findings of hazardous waste. MCDA helps in
solving decision making problems in various sectors such as corporate, social
and environmental issues. This paper will help EPA (environmental protection
agency) to improve hazardous waste in different states while comparing with the
best one.
