Msg. B contains notification that China will cease dumping radioactive wastes and disposal of industrial waste and incineration of industrial waste and sewage sludge in its coastal waters starting 20 February 1994. Tbis is in response to international concern expressed early this year at a London meeting. Apparently uneffected are 38 certified coastal dump sites used for dredge spoils, which according to Chinese officials are closely monitored for water quality. ************** END Msg.
