1  Waste undergoing consecutive treatment operations at different facilities is counted only once.
2  Figures from Statistics Norway's survey of manufacturing industry waste indicate that additionally about 40 000 tonnes of hazardous waste were sent for approved treatment in 2003, which increases the total amount of hazardous waste going to approved treatment to approximately 820 000 tonnes this year. An equivalent data source for 2004 is not available, and hence the 40 000 tonnes in 2003 are excluded.
