Disposing of hazardous waste
Description
Disposing of hazardous waste involves the safe collection, treatment, and final containment or destruction of materials that pose risks to human health or the environment. This strategy aims to prevent contamination of air, water, and soil by employing regulated processes such as secure landfilling, incineration, chemical neutralization, or recycling. Effective hazardous waste disposal remedies threats from toxic, flammable, or infectious substances, ensuring compliance with safety standards and minimizing long-term environmental and public health hazards.
