Glass waste with heavy metals

10 11 11* Small waste glass and glass powder containing heavy metals (for example, from cathode ray tubes)

whyneed

Fine waste glass and glass powder containing heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury is a serious environmental and technological problem. This waste occurs during the production and use of electronic equipment, in particular cathode ray tubes, which are used in old televisions and monitors. The danger is that these heavy metals have the ability to accumulate in the environment and living organisms, leading to serious environmental and health problems.

Methods of ecological management of hazardous waste from small waste glass and glass powder are insufficiently developed in many countries. Waste is often dumped in landfills without proper treatment, which leads to soil, water and air pollution. Modern technologies make it possible to process this waste with minimal impact on the environment, but their implementation requires significant financial investments and proper infrastructure.

Fine waste glass and glass powder containing heavy metals (for example, from cathode ray tubes). Code according to the National List of Waste 10 11 11*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R7, D13.

A pity for the environment and people

howutilize

Heavy metals contained in small waste glass and glass powder are among the most dangerous pollutants. They have the ability to accumulate in soil, water and living organisms, which leads to long-term environmental problems. In particular, lead and cadmium can lead to soil contamination, which complicates the agricultural use of land. Mercury, in particular, is highly toxic to aquatic ecosystems, where it can accumulate in fish and other organisms, entering the food chain.

Transportation of hazardous waste from small waste glass and glass powder requires special attention, because during transportation it is possible to damage them and release heavy metals into the environment. Improper transportation can lead to emergency situations that have significant environmental consequences:

  • soil pollution;
  • pollution of water resources;
  • atmospheric air pollution;
  • accumulation of heavy metals in living organisms;
  • degradation of ecosystems.

 

Pity for people

Fine waste glass and glass powder containing heavy metals have a significant impact on human health. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury are extremely toxic and can cause serious illness. Lead, for example, affects the nervous system, causing cognitive impairment, especially in children. Cadmium is a known carcinogen and can cause lung and kidney cancer. Mercury, in particular, affects the nervous system and can cause serious neurological disorders.

The danger to humans is also that these metals can accumulate in the body for a long time, causing chronic diseases. In particular, workers who collect, sort and process this waste are the most vulnerable category. They are constantly exposed to heavy metals, which can lead to serious occupational diseases:

  • diseases of the nervous system;
  • cancer diseases;
  • kidney disease;
  • chronic intoxications;
  • occupational diseases of employees.

Ways to reduce harm

whyneed

In order to reduce the damage caused by small waste glass and glass powder containing heavy metals, it is necessary to implement effective methods of environmental management of hazardous waste. This includes the operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and treating waste (D13). An important stage is the proper treatment of waste before its processing, which allows to reduce emissions of heavy metals into the environment.

One ​​of the methods of environmental management of hazardous waste is the use of modern technologies for processing and recycling glass and glass powder. This includes the use of special filters to reduce heavy metal emissions, as well as technologies to extract valuable materials from waste for reuse (R7).

The transportation of hazardous waste is also an important aspect. For this, it is necessary to use specialized transport and containers that ensure safe transportation of waste without the risk of spillage or damage

  • use of modern technologies for waste processing;
  • reduction of heavy metal emissions;
  • extraction of valuable materials from waste;
