In 1989, numerous countries signed a treaty in Basel, Switzerland, 'aimed at stopping toxic waste going anywhere it could not be treated safely, but there were loopholes and dumping continued.'
No comprendo el sentido de 'could not be treated safely'
Lo he traducido de la s iguinete manera: con el fin de impedir que residuos tóxicos se expandieran…, pero las fugas y descargas continuaban.

que no pudiera ser sometido a tratamiento en forma segura
aqui treated se refiere al tratamiento a que se someten ciertas sustancias peligrosas antes de disponer de ellas por ejemplo autoclavar material infectado antes de ponerlo en la basura espcializada. creo que usar a palabra tratar no es suficientemente "accurate"
