14 06 02* Other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures
Halogenated solvents are widely used in various industries and households due to their unique properties. They effectively dissolve fats, oils and other difficult-to-dissolve compounds, making them indispensable in manufacturing processes, cleaning and even in some medical applications. However, along with their usefulness comes a serious problem – harmful effect on the environment and human health.
Halogenated solvents – are chemical compounds that contain halogens, such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine. They are known for their ability to dissolve a wide range of materials and are widely used in industry for cleaning, degreasing and other processes. However, these substances also have a significant negative impact on the environment and human health. The problem is that after use, halogenated solvents often end up in the environment, where they can contaminate air, water and soil, and accumulate in food chains.
Other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures that do not fall under strict control or special disposal conditions can pose an even greater threat. Their dangerous properties and long decay time in the natural environment make them particularly harmful. The lack of proper management of hazardous waste of these substances leads to serious environmental problems and threatens people's health.
A pity for the environment and people
The impact of other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures on the environment is multifaceted and dangerous. They can get into water bodies, soil and atmosphere, where they can cause a number of negative effects. Among the main problems, we can highlight:
- pollution of water resources: halogenated solvents can seep into groundwater, making it unfit for consumption;
- destruction of ecosystems: the toxicity of these compounds can lead to the death of aquatic and terrestrial organisms;
- soil pollution: halogenated solvents can accumulate in soils, reducing their fertility and contaminating plants;
- climate change: some of these compounds contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer and have a high potential for global warming.
Environmental management of hazardous wastes of other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures is an important aspect to reduce their impact on the environment. Strict regulation and control of their use and storage (D15), as well as the development of safe methods of processing and disposal (D10) of these substances are necessary.
Pity for people
The impact of other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures on human health is a serious problem. These substances can cause a wide range of diseases and pathological conditions, such as:
- respiratory diseases: inhalation of vapors of halogenated solvents can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract and chronic respiratory diseases;
- toxic effects: many of these substances are toxic to organs such as the liver and kidneys and can cause serious illness;
- carcinogenicity: some halogenated solvents have carcinogenic properties, increasing the risk of cancer;
- neurotoxicity: effects on the nervous system can lead to neurological disorders and cognitive disorders.
Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste of other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures include the development of safe technologies for their storage, transportation and processing. An important aspect is also informing and training employees about the dangers of these substances and ways to protect against their effects.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the harmful effects of other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures, it is necessary to implement comprehensive measures, which include:
- use of alternative solvents: introduction of less toxic and environmentally safer substances;
- development of effective methods of processing: implementation of the latest technologies for disposal and processing of hazardous waste;
- strict regulations: establishing strict regulations and standards for the use and storage of halogenated solvents;
- educational programs: raising awareness of hazards and methods of protection among workers and the public.
Other halogenated solvents and solvent mixtures. Code according to the National list of waste 14 06 02*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” 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 А3140 (АС210)
