Hazardous Waste Management

Image
According to the   Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), hazardous wastes are defined as any waste or combination of wastes which pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or living organisms because such wastes are non ‐ degradable or persistent in nature or because they can be biologically magnified, or because they can be lethal, or because they may otherwise cause or tend to cause detrimental cumulative effects. The management of hazardous wastes has become a specialized discipline because of the complex nature of the problem and the solutions available to humanity. The mismanagement of hazardous wastes can have disastrous human and environmental consequences. Hazardous waste management, therefore, deals with minimizing harmful effects on humans and the environment by applying special techniques of handling, storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes. For proper waste management guidance give NSSI a call .
