Hazardous waste origin and effect: -ANSWER✅✅✅causes: occurrence of dangerous
chemicals and their mixtures
effects: hazardous wastes may pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human
health or the environment when improperly treated, stored or disposed of, or otherwise
mismanaged
treatment: waste requires special approaches with higher and both health and
environmental risk
Hierarchy of preferred was management options: Desirability -> -ANSWER✅✅✅Dump
< Dispose (controlled) < Treat and Process < Recover materials (recycle and reuse) <
Minimize < Avoid
Recycle and Reuse of Hazardous Wastes -ANSWER✅✅✅recycle: materials may first
require cleaning/separation
reuse: no treatment except for any necessary cleansing
Minimize and Avoid: HW Hierarchy -ANSWER✅✅✅-Top of waste hierarchy
-Reduce pressure on treatment and disposal facilities
-Reduce costs
-Safe resources
, Aims of Hierarchy of preferred waste management options: -ANSWER✅✅✅-To limit
the quantity of HW requiring final disposal
-To move waste management options up the hierarchy
-To treat wastes as close as possible to the point of generation (e.g., on-site treatment
by simple physical processes)
What are the management strategies for the identification of hazardous wastes? -
ANSWER✅✅✅1) Identity hazardous wastes and track quantities
2) Regulate the hazardous waste from the time it is first generated through the transport
to final treatment or disposal.
How is identifying hazardous wastes and tracking quantities effective? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Effective identification and labelling by the generators are essential for
control.
Why is the regulation of hazardous waste, from the time it is first generated through the
transport to final treatment or disposal, necessary? -ANSWER✅✅✅Some hazardous
wastes require special control from the time of generation through their transportation,
temporary storage, treatment and disposal.
Collection and Transport: Hazardous Waste -ANSWER✅✅✅-Important role in terms of
disposal cycle and in control
-Most incidents of improper disposal of hazardous waste have occurred during transport
>>results from disposal contracts between waste generator and hauler
Why are industrial hazardous waste problems a unique issue? -ANSWER✅✅✅they
are transportable, and pose hazard either in short or long term basis
How are industrial hazardous waste problems solved? -ANSWER✅✅✅since they are
transportable, and pose hazard either in short or long term basis, classification is
advised.
-. Industrial hazardous waste generators
-. Non-industrial hazardous waste generators.
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes: Used to identify groups of hazardous
waste generators.
Principles of HW treatment: -ANSWER✅✅✅After avoidance, minimization and
recycling, the next stage in the waste hierarchy is treatment.
The principles of treatment are as follows:
1) Volume reduction
2) Destruction
