Dear Mr. Newman,

                  I am enclosing herewith a copy of a Form 8K which was filed on
this date with the Securities and Exchange Commission with reference to the
termination of your firm as Certifying Accountants for Waste Technology Corp.

                  Please provide me with a letter addressed to the Commission
stating whether Coopers & Lybrand agrees with the statements made by the Company
in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-X, and, if not, stating the respects
in which it does not agree.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ Morton S. Robson
