El crecimiento demográfico, la modificación de las actividades productivas y el incremento en la demanda de los servicios, han rebasado la capacidad del ambiente para asimilar la cantidad de residuos que genera la sociedad; por lo que es necesario contar con sistemas de manejo integral de residuos adecuados con la realidad de cada localidad. Por tal motivo y como parte de la política ambiental que promueve el Gobierno Federal, se pretende a través de la presente Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM), la cual regula la disposición final de los residuos sólidos urbanos y de manejo especial, que los sitios destinados a la ubicación de tal infraestructura, así como su diseño, construcción, operación, clausura, monitoreo y obras complementarias; se lleven a cabo de acuerdo a los lineamientos técnicos que garanticen la protección del ambiente, la preservación del equilibrio ecológico y de los recursos naturales, la minimización de los efectos contaminantes provocados por la inadecuada disposición de los residuos sólidos urbanos y de manejo especial y la protección de la salud pública en general.

 

 

The demographic growth, the modification of manufacturing activities and the increase in the demand for services, have passed the capacity of the environment to assimilate the quantity of wastes generated by society; for which it is necessary to have systems of integral handling of wastes adequate for the reality of each location.
