Coal tar and tarred products (code 16 12 12*, 17 03 03*) are hazardous wastes due to carcinogenic compounds
they contain.
Proper hazardous waste management prevents pollutants from entering soil, water, and air.
Main risks include:
- accumulation of toxic organic compounds;
- fire and explosion hazards;
- long-term land contamination;
- health risks for workers.
Safe handling of hazardous waste includes labeling, sampling, and strict monitoring during storage and transport.
Environmental servicing of enterprises provides audits and monitoring of storage areas.
Secure hazardous waste storage requires hermetically sealed, corrosion-resistant containers.
Controlled hazardous waste transportation involves certified vehicles and specialized sealed containers.
Modern methods of hazardous waste processing use thermal and chemical treatments to reduce toxicity.
Examples of solutions:
- thermal destruction of hazardous compounds;
- chemical stabilization;
- ongoing ecological monitoring.
Adopting modern technologies ensures environmental safety and enhances companies’ reputation as responsible market participants.
