Hazardous solid waste management

The problem of solid waste containing dangerous substances is becoming more and more relevant every year. With the development of industry and the increase in consumption, the amount of hazardous waste is also increasing. This waste may include toxic chemicals, heavy metals, radioactive materials and other hazardous components that pose a serious threat to the environment and human health.

The main sources of hazardous solid waste include industries, hospitals, laboratories, construction sites and households. Hazardous substances can enter the environment due to improper storage, transportation or treatment of these wastes. Lack of proper control and regulation can lead to serious environmental disasters.

Methods of environmental management of hazardous solid waste containing hazardous substances include a set of measures to minimize their impact on the environment and human health. These measures include the collection, sorting, transportation, treatment and safe storage of such waste. An important role is also played by informing and educating the population about the proper handling of hazardous waste.

In order to reduce harm from hazardous solid waste, it is necessary to implement a comprehensive approach to their management. This includes the development and implementation of effective technologies for the collection, sorting, transportation and treatment of such waste. One of the important areas is the reduction of hazardous waste generation through the use of alternative (D10), safer materials and technologies.

An important component is also raising the level of awareness and responsibility among the population and workers dealing with hazardous waste. They should be well informed about the risks and how to safely manage such waste. Implementation of training and certification programs can contribute to increasing the level of professional competence.
