Solid combustible waste containing hazardous substances (19 02 09*) is one of the most difficult to manage due to its high toxicity and potential risk to the environment and human health. These wastes can be generated in various industrial processes where combustible materials with toxic components are used.
The main challenge when working with such waste is their chemical activity, which can lead to pollution of the air, water, and soil. Therefore, hazardous waste management is crucial, involving the development of strategies for safe storage, transportation, and recycling.
Key factors to consider when handling solid combustible waste:
- the presence of toxic and hazardous components such as heavy metals, acids, and other chemical compounds;
- the risk of environmental contamination due to improper storage or transportation;
- the need for specialized technologies for hazardous waste recycling to reduce their toxicity.
To ensure safe hazardous waste management, innovative technologies must be employed to reduce their harmful impact:
- using specialized containers for transportation and storage;
- applying highly effective methods of hazardous waste recycling, such as thermal treatment or chemical neutralization;
- monitoring the storage and processing of waste through regular checks.
This approach minimizes risks to the environment and human health.
