Understanding Hazardous
Waste
1 Waste Classification 2 Chemical Properties
Hazardous waste is defined by its Waste materials with corrosive,
potential to cause harm to human toxic, flammable, or reactive
health or the environment. properties pose significant risks.
3 Examples of Hazardous Waste
Common examples include solvents, heavy metals, acids, pesticides, and certain
pharmaceuticals.
Regulatory Framework for
Hazardous Waste
Management
National Laws Establish regulations for handling,
storage, and disposal of hazardous
waste.
International Treaties Promote collaboration and
standardization in hazardous waste
management practices.
Industry Standards Provide guidelines for best practices
and compliance with regulatory
requirements.
Identifying and Categorizing
Hazardous Waste
1 Waste Characterization
Analyzing waste composition, physical properties, and potential hazards is
crucial.
2 Regulatory Screening
Comparing waste properties to regulatory definitions to determine if it's
hazardous.
3 Waste Stream Classification
Assigning waste to specific categories based on its hazardous characteristics.
Strategies for Hazardous Waste Minimization
Source Reduction Recycling and Reuse Treatment Technologies
Minimizing waste generation at the source Finding alternative uses for hazardous waste or Applying physical, chemical, or biological
through efficient processes and materials. recovering valuable materials. methods to reduce the hazards of waste.
Residue Management Techniques
Incineration
Controlled burning of hazardous waste under high temperatures to reduce volume.
Landfill Disposal
Waste is placed in secure landfills designed to prevent contamination.
Chemical Treatment
Neutralizing or transforming hazardous substances into less harmful forms.
Biological Treatment
Using microorganisms to break down hazardous compounds.
Proper Handling, Storage, and Disposal of Hazardous
Residues
Clear Labeling Secure Storage Transportation Safety Disposal Compliance
Properly labeling containers to identify Storing hazardous residues in Transporting hazardous residues using Ensuring residues are disposed of at
