11 01 98*, 11 02 07*, 19 02 11* Other waste containing hazardous substances
The problem of hazardous waste is one of the most relevant in the modern world. This especially applies to other waste containing hazardous substances. These wastes are generated as a result of various production processes, as well as in everyday life. Their improper storage (D15), transportation and handling can lead to serious environmental problems.
Hazardous waste includes a variety of materials that may have toxic, radioactive, infectious, or other harmful properties. They include:
- chemical waste: waste from the production of chemical substances, including pesticide residues, pharmaceutical waste, industrial solvents, etc.;
- medical waste: used needles, syringes, bandages, as well as the remains of medical drugs;
- e-waste: old computers, mobile phones, batteries and other electronics containing hazardous metals and chemicals;
- industrial waste: production residues, such as metals, plastics, glass, which may contain harmful impurities.
The problem with managing these wastes is that they can have serious consequences for the environment and human health. Improper handling of them can lead to soil, water and air pollution, as well as to the appearance of various diseases in people. Production processes often do not provide for proper storage and treatment of this waste, which creates additional risks.
In addition, most of these wastes are not easily biodegradable, so they can remain in the environment for a long time, accumulating and creating an even greater threat. This especially applies to waste that contains heavy metals, radioactive substances and other stable chemical compounds.
Other waste containing hazardous substances. Code according to the National list of waste 11 01 98*, 11 02 07*, 19 02 11*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D12, R7, D10, D15.
Code according to Annexes VIII, IX to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Utilization/Removal А1050 (АА120).
A pity for the environment and people
Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste from other waste containing hazardous substances is a key aspect of environmental protection. Improper storage and handling of such waste can lead to:
- soil pollution: dangerous chemicals can enter the soil and accumulate in it, which negatively affects the fertility and health of plants
- water pollution: toxic substances can enter groundwater and water bodies, threatening water supplies and aquatic ecosystems
- air pollution: improper burning or decomposition of hazardous waste releases harmful gases that pollute the atmosphere
Soil pollution occurs due to improper storage and disposal of hazardous waste. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury can accumulate in the soil, affecting its structure and properties. This can lead to soil degradation, a decrease in its fertility and a negative impact on plants grown on such lands. The accumulation of hazardous substances in the soil can also lead to their entry into food chains, which poses an additional threat to the health of people and animals.
Water pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems associated with hazardous waste. Toxic substances can enter groundwater through percolation through the soil, as well as through direct discharge of waste into water bodies. This can lead to significant pollution of water resources used for drinking water supply and adversely affect aquatic ecosystems. Fish and other aquatic organisms can accumulate toxic substances in their tissues, which poses a threat to people who consume these products.
Air pollution occurs when hazardous waste is improperly burned or decomposed. As a result, harmful gases such as dioxins, furans, heavy metals and other toxic substances can enter the atmosphere. These gases can negatively affect people's health, causing respiratory diseases, allergic reactions and other problems. In addition, they can contribute to climate change and deterioration of air quality, which is a serious threat to ecosystems and biodiversity.
Environmental management of hazardous waste from other waste containing hazardous substances requires specialized methods and technologies to prevent their negative impact on the environment. It is necessary to apply a comprehensive approach, which includes effective methods of collection, sorting, transportation and treatment of such waste.
Pity for people
Hazardous waste poses a serious threat to human health. They can cause various diseases, such as:
- poisoning: due to contact with toxic substances or their inhalation;
- allergic reactions: due to contact with chemical substances or biological agents;
- infectious diseases: due to contact with medical waste;
- cancer diseases: as a result of long-term exposure to carcinogenic substances.
Toxic poisoning can occur through skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion of food and water contaminated with hazardous waste. It can cause serious symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, liver and kidney damage, and affect the nervous system. Especially dangerous poisonings can lead to fatal consequences.
Allergic reactions can occur due to contact with chemicals contained in hazardous waste. These can be various dermatitis, rashes, itching, swelling and other allergy symptoms. In severe cases, anaphylactic reactions are possible, requiring immediate medical assistance.
Infectious diseases can be transmitted through contact with medical waste, which may contain viruses, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms. This is especially relevant for employees of medical institutions and those engaged in the collection and processing of medical waste. Infectious diseases can include hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis and other serious diseases.
Cancer diseases can develop as a result of long-term exposure to carcinogenic substances contained in hazardous waste. These can be heavy metals, organic compounds and other chemical substances that have the ability to cause mutations in body cells and contribute to the development of cancerous tumors. Research shows that workers who are constantly in contact with hazardous waste have an increased risk of developing cancer.
Management of hazardous waste from other waste containing skycaustic substances, should be carried out with special attention to the protection of the health of workers who are engaged in the collection, transportation and processing of these wastes. Safety measures, such as the use of special equipment and protective clothing, play an important role. In addition, it is necessary to ensure regular medical monitoring of the health of employees and provide them with the necessary medical assistance in case of problems.
